你为什么想学习这个课程或学科？

“科学家梦想着做伟大的事情。工程师会做的。”詹姆斯·A·米切纳。对我来说，这句话象征着我想从事工程行业的原因——因为我想做事，设计东西，制造东西。从小我就对事物的运作方式以及原因感兴趣;我已经很清楚，工程是我晚年想做的事。不过我对多个工程学科感兴趣，但一直很难决定要学哪一个。信号处理和音频系统是我电子学中特别感兴趣的领域，机械领域的机电系统也是我的兴趣所在。我对声学也很感兴趣，尤其是电声学、主动噪声控制和音乐声学。为了实现这一点，我尝试选择那些内容较宽泛或允许中途专攻的课程。这样做的好处是，我可以先对领域有了更清晰的了解后再决定要进入哪个领域。我也打算休学一年，积累工业经验，这对我做出决定有帮助。因此我决定推迟报名。

你的资质和学习如何帮助你准备这门课程或科目？

我在整个求学期间一直对数学感兴趣，尤其是应用数学;力学是我觉得非常吸引人的学科。我放学后参加了四年数学俱乐部（8年级到11年级），提前一年参加了GCSE数学考试，次年参加了FSMQ附加数学考试。我目前正在学习进阶数学，已经修了六个模块（平均分95.5%）。电子学是课外活动，是一个非常有趣的学科。它涉及大量设计，是我喜欢的，也是我其他科目中没有体现的内容。物理吸引我，能给我学习工程所需的知识。我觉得AS化学很吸引人，尽管时间不允许我继续学习这门课。去年我把拉丁语作为课后课程参加GCSE考试，非常喜欢。这让我真正了解了另一种文化、文学和语言。去年我很幸运获得了阿克赖特奖学金和行业年度奖。Faber Maunsell赞助我，今年夏天我在他们的声学部门做了一周的实习。这非常有成就感，还包括噪音调查和结果分析。

你在教育之外还做了哪些准备工作？这些经历为什么有用？

音乐对我来说一直很重要;我现在拥有钢琴和单簧管8级学位，正在攻读钢琴CertGSMD（P）。合奏演奏一直是我音乐生涯的重要部分：我曾担任非常成功的Verulam大乐队的第一单簧管手（演奏摇摆爵士），参与了他们的多次巡演（包括西班牙、意大利和德国），并曾与当地青年管弦乐团合作弹奏钢琴协奏曲。在民谣和爵士乐中，我演奏手风琴、尤克里里和C调旋律萨克斯，偶尔也会在圣奥尔本斯的凯利舞团中演奏。事实上，乐器从科学和历史角度都让我感兴趣，尤其是木管乐器。事实上，在我的AS电子项目中，我设计了一个放大器萨克斯的系统;现在我从零开始设计了萨克斯风，现在用胶合板制作它。在更广泛的社区中，我曾在当地博物馆的“科学日”活动中做志愿者（向孩子们讲解玩具背后的物理原理），我是热衷敲铃的人，也是当地敲钟协会的成员。在学校里，我是桥牌协会的高级成员，这是我非常喜欢的活动。此外，我还是家长教师协会的联络官（包括参与会议、提高学生意识并协助组织活动）以及数学班的学长。帆船是我非常感兴趣的项目，去年夏天我获得了RYA二级证书。我是加尔平学会（乐器研究）的学生会员，也是皇家学会的法拉第会员，我曾参加过他们的晚间讲座。

我现在觉得自己已经准备好迎接大学生活的学术要求，并期待未来的挑战。

专家反馈

[“第一段细节非常丰富。这表明申请人对该领域及其原因感兴趣。“，”第二段可以包含更多关于校外学习的资料，以更好地展示对工程的兴趣。“，”申请人很好地解释了他们的间隔年，不过这部分在UCAS申请的其他方面可能会更准确地说明。“，”课外活动部分太长， 目标是20%。“，”A-level内容太多。“，”从一句话开始太老套了。可以把它拆掉，用在别处。']

AI反馈个人陈述通过清晰的学术重点和实践经验，有效突出你对工程的多方面兴趣。将乐器设计与工程相结合，带来了独特且引人入胜的个人风格，展现了创造力和跨学科思维，这也是其优势所在。然而，声明若能更多强调与工程相关的课外活动，以更好地展示对该领域的积极参与，则会更有优势。简化内容，减少对A-level课程的详细描述，限制丰富的课外活动，将提升专注力，并有更多空间突出你对大学的热情和准备。考虑去除开头引言，以分配更多词语表达你最强烈的个人轶事和技术兴趣，这会更引起审阅新UCAS个人陈述的招生导师的共鸣。总体来说，你的热情和准备充分体现在你身上，在申请表的另一部分明确你的间隔年目的，有助于保持这段话的简洁。英文版本

Why do you want to study this course or subject?

"Scientists dream about doing great things. Engineers do them." James A. Michener. For me, this quote symbolises why I want to go into engineering—because I want to do things, to design things, to make things. From early childhood I have been interested in how things work and why; it has been clear now for some time that engineering is what I want to do in later life. I am interested in a variety of engineering disciplines however, and have had trouble deciding which to study. Signal processing and audio systems are particular interests of mine within electronics, as well as electro-mechanical systems within mechanical. Acoustics also interests me, especially electro-acoustics, active noise control and musical acoustics. To allow for this, I have tried to choose courses that are either broad or allow specialism part way through. This has the advantage that I can decide which field to go into after I have a better idea of what they involve. I also intend to take a gap year to gain industrial experience, which would help me with this decision. For this reason I am deferring entry.

How have your qualifications and studies helped you to prepare for this course or subject?

I have been interested in Mathematics throughout my school career, especially in applied; mechanics is a subject that I find very engaging. I attended Maths Club after school for four years, (from year 8 to 11), did GCSE Maths a year early, and did the FSMQ in Additional Maths the following year. I am presently studying Further Maths, and have now taken six modules (95.5% average). Electronics is extra-curricular, and is a fascinating subject. It involves a lot of design, something that I enjoy, and something that is not featured in my other subjects. Physics appeals to me, and will give me the knowledge I need to study Engineering. I found AS Chemistry absorbing, although time has not allowed me to continue this subject further. Last year I took Latin to GCSE as an after school subject, and enjoyed it very much. It gave me a real insight into another culture, literature and language. I was fortunate enough to be awarded an Arkwright scholarship last year, along with the Year in Industry prize. Faber Maunsell is sponsoring me, and I did a weeks work experience with their acoustics division this summer. It was very rewarding, and included a noise survey and results analysis.

What else have you done to prepare outside of education, and why are these experiences useful?

Music has long been important to me; I now have Grade 8 in Piano and Clarinet, and am working towards a CertGSMD (P) in Piano. Ensemble playing has been a major part of my musical life: I have been first desk clarinet in the highly successful Verulam Big Band (playing swing jazz) for five years, participating in many of their tours (including Spain, Italy and Germany), and have played the piano in a concerto with a local youth orchestra. In folk and jazz, I play melodeon, ukulele and C melody saxophone, including occasionally in a ceilidh band in St Albans. In fact, musical instruments interest me both from a scientific and historical perspective, especially woodwind. Indeed, for my AS Electronics project, I designed a system to amplify a saxophone; having now designed the saxophone from scratch, I am building it from plywood. Within the wider community, I have volunteered at the local museum on their 'Science Day', (which involved explaining to children the physics behind toys), am a keen Bell ringer, and a member of the local ringing society. At school, I am a senior member of the Bridge Society, an activity that I enjoy very much. In addition, I am the Parent Teacher Association Liaison Officer, (which involves contributing to meetings, raising student awareness, and helping to organise events) and prefect for Maths. Sailing is a great interest of mine, and I gained my RYA level two last summer. I am a Student member of the Galpin Society (for the study of musical instruments) and a Faraday member of the Royal Institution, whose evening lectures I have attended.

I now feel that I am ready for the academic demands of university life, and look forward to the challenges that lie ahead.
