英文自傳(申請科系自傳)

Posted by 123 on 2007/2/22 11:41:52
準備一份針對欲申請科系所寫的自傳,除了當備審資料外,面談時若需用英文作自我介紹,更可使你言之有物,條理分明。

高中生通常專業經驗不足,也較難對自己未來學習方向有確定把握,所以在自傳中可描述過去經驗,交待學歷背景,選系動機。理想的自傳長度是200~300字,內容可參考以下要點:

一、家庭背景、人格特質
家庭背景對你申請某科系有無影響?與你的個性、生涯規劃、特殊價值觀有什麼關係?切忌流水帳似的長篇大論,如父親是程式設計師,影響你想申請資訊科學系,這點可寫。而祖父職業是代書與你的選系動機無關,便不需特別介紹。又如母親慈愛且常當義工,使你想見賢思齊,則可以適時加入段落中。家庭成員間的情感以及家庭氣氛對你若有特殊影響,也是可書寫的主題。不過,好文章要剪裁,不要試圖在短短的段落中包山包海,只要聚焦於你最想呈現、影響最深的主題來寫。

二、求學經歷
在求學過程中的有無特殊表現?與所選的科系有何關係?多才多藝的人行文之間要謙虛,強調你從豐功偉業中的所體會的學習精神、獲得的學習成就。沒有彪炳戰績的人,則可以談特別難忘的學習經驗,強調自己學習認真、投入,強調一點一滴的學習經驗,都在為將來的人生作準備。

三、 社團活動
社團經驗若可以彰顯自己為申請該科系的所做的準備,則可仔細描寫社團所規劃的活動。如果沒有相關,可以就拓展「人際關係」、表現「多樣才華」的觀點去強調自己參與社團活動的經驗。

四、嗜好、休閒
與攻讀的科系若無關,則只需點出自己懂得生活調劑,身心健康,不是無聊的書呆子即可。

五、未來目標
讀完大學有何計畫?大學所選的科系如何協助你實現生涯之夢?

以上五點的內容要懂得適當組織,使文意流暢連貫。

沒有人是十項全能,人見人愛的,你的自傳重點是透過學經歷的陳述,表現你的獨特之處,把自己最特別之處不卑不亢地表達出來,就是一份成功的自傳。

英文自傳、自我介紹範例
*範例一:外文系
I am Wenshin Lin. Sophia is my English name. I am eighteen years old, studying in a public girls’ high school. I come from a well-to-do family. My father works in a bank and mother works in a bookstore. I am the only child in the family; however, I am not the so-called spoiled child. My parents make very sure of that by training me to be independent.

Throughout my academic career, I have not only getting god grades but also being very active on sport field and in various societies. I play volleyball and enjoy the team spirit. I have joined the drama club and participated in many speech English contests. I really like to take part in school activities. Through them I make may friends, have lots of fun , and gain many valuable experiences.

I have been the class English tutor for almost three years. I love to discuss and share the experience of learning English with my classmates. We often read China Post and Time Magazine, and then discuss the content, word usage and practice speaking English on the basis of the English materials. At the beginning we found it was quite hard because we could hardly understand what the content was about, but we encouraged each other not to give up. Gradually we found that we had made improvement, which made us extremely excite. Later the group discussion of English books and magazines has become one of the most enjoyable things for us every week. Thanks to all these experiences, I won the first prize for school English speech contest in my second year of high school and many of my English articles had been published on China Post.

My fondness of English has been developed since my childhood. Being the only child, I was lonely, with no one to play with. My mother understood how I felt, so she brought me with her all the time. Hence the bookstore where my mom worked my childhood playground, and books have been my playmates since then. When we were in the bookstore, my mom would show me those fancy books with cute illustrations on it. At first I was drawn by the pictures and then curious about those strange symbols called words. This was my first contact with English. As I was interested in knowing what those symbols meant, my parents taught me a bit. After they felt that I was eager to learn, they found me an English tutor. By starting learning English at really early age, I had an advantage in learning it. And I have to thank my parents for this.

My interest in English brought me to the world of English literature. I have been enchanted by the creative world since then, so I decided to major in English literature. My aim is to explore the world of literature and the world of great writers and thus to open my eyes and cultivate my mind.

我是林文馨,Sophia是我的英文名字。我現年十八歲,就讀公立女中。我有一個快樂美滿的小康家庭;父親在銀行工作,母親則在書店工作。我是家中的獨生女,

但我可不是那種被寵壞的孩子。正因為怕我變得嬌縱,我的父母從小就訓練我要獨立。

在我求學過程中我不僅品學兼優,在運動場上也是活躍的一份子,同時我也參與許多的社團活動,加入了排球社並且非常喜歡那種團隊精神。我也是話劇社的一份子,還參加了許多次的英語演講賽。我非常喜歡參加學校的活動,透過這些活動,我不但可以交到許多朋友,享受許多樂趣,還可以得到許多寶貴的經驗。

我當了快三年的英文小老師,我很喜歡和同學討論並分享學習英語的經驗。我們常常閱讀《中國郵報》和《時代雜誌》,一起討論內容和英文用詞,並且練習用英語討論讀過的文章。剛開始的時候,大家都覺得很難,因為我們連文章都看不太懂,可是我們卻互相鼓勵,要大家不要放棄。漸漸的發覺到我們的英文有進步了,我們可是興奮至極呢,而後小組討論英文書和雜誌變成我們最快了的事。我在高二時參加英語演講比賽得了第二名,所寫的許多英文文章還刊登在學生郵報上。

我對英語的興趣是從小就開始培養的,身為獨生女是很孤獨的,從小就沒有人可以陪我玩。母親知道我會孤單,到哪裡都帶著我,所以她服務的書店就成為我從小的遊樂場,書本也就成為我從小的玩伴。媽媽常拿一些有可愛圖案的輸給我看,一開始我就被書上的圖案給吸引住了,後來對書上一堆怪怪的符號稱之為字的東西感到好奇,這就是我第一次接觸到英文。爸媽看見我有興趣知道這些文字的意思,就教了我一些英文;當他們發現我學習心切,就為我請了一位英文家教。我要感謝我的父母讓我在很小的時候就有機會學英文。

我對英文的興趣帶領我進入了英文文學的世界裡,自此之後這一片創造的園地便令我著迷,因此我決定主修英文文學。我希望能藉此探索文學以及作家們的世界,讓這片偉大的文學天地來開闊我的視野並陶冶我的心智。

範例二:資訊系

I am Xia-dung Fang; my English name is Matthew. I am seventeen years old, studying in a private high school. There are five people in my family. My father is a military officer and my mother is a housewife. Both of my younger brother and sister are junior high school students. You might think that my family is traditional and strict. However, it is the opposite. My parents are open-minded and have a good sense of humor. I must say I am lucky to grow up in this happy family.

My father certainly has a great influence on me. I always look up to him. His passion and dedication to the family is the best thing he gives us. He never forces us children to do things we don’t like. He encourages us to make our own decisions. That’s why I can join a lot of school activities and have the chance to develop my hobbies.

I have been very active in school activities. I am one of the computer freaks who just can’t take my eyes off the computer screen. My friends know I am good at computer, so once there computers have some problems, they will come to me. I am also a pitcher on the school baseball team. Our team has won many, many matches and we thus gained the title “unbeatable team.” I believe this is resulted form our constant practice, hard work, and our strong team spirit.

Although computer and baseball take up most of my leisure time, I manage to use some spare time to play the electronic guitar in a band. I use computer to make many of our songs into MIDI files and forward them to many of my friends. My friends love them and think them awesome. Nothing can make me more proud of myself than to be able to combine my computer skills with music. Don’t get me wrong. I didn’t neglect my study when I take part in so many activities. Unless my grades in school are OK, my parents won’t let me do all these.

I have been interested in computer since I was in the fifth grade of elementary school. At that time my father had a big computer on his desk. Every time I saw how concentrated my father was while using the computer, I was full of admiration. So I said to myself: “Some day, I am going to be like that.” Later my father gave me a new computer, and ever since then, I was addicted to computer, especially after the emergence of the Internet. In fact, surfing the net has become my greatest interest.

The e-commerce has changed our traditional form of life style. Take my case for example: I keep in touch with my friends through email; I send my greetings through e-cards; I buy books from e-bookstore; I shop at many websites and search information through searching engines.

Not to mention how the e-era has bought the most powerful reform to the business world. Banks and stock markets, as well as companies, do transaction through the net, and the space and time limitation no longer exist. I am fascinated with the new change and eager to take part in it. So I have decided to major in Computer and Information Science. I want to be a professional computer programmer who creates and designs the software to meet the needs of people in the e-era.

我是方曉東, 英文名字是Matthew。我今年十七歲,就讀私立高中。我家總共有五人,父親是軍官,母親是家庭主婦。我的弟妹均就讀國中。也許你會認為,由於父親的關係,我的家庭傳統而嚴格,其實不然。我父母都是開明而幽默的人,我很幸運能在這個快樂的家庭成長。

我父親對我有極深遠的影響,我一直都很崇敬他。對家庭的熱誠以及奉獻,是他給我們最好的禮物。他從不強迫我們做不喜歡的事,鼓勵我們自己做選擇,所以我能參加許多學校活動,培養自己的興趣。

我在學校很活躍,是那種眼睛離不開電腦螢幕的電腦狂。我的朋友知道我對電腦很在行,只要電腦有問題,都會找我幫忙。我是校內棒球隊投手,我們的求度贏過無數次比賽,也因被封為「無敵球隊」,而我認為這都是我們不斷練習,辛苦努力及強烈的團隊精神得來的成果。

雖然電腦和棒球佔了我大部分的休閒時間,我還是挪空在樂團中彈吉他。我用電腦將我們的歌曲變成midi檔,傳送給許多朋友,他們很喜歡也覺得很棒。能夠結合電腦和音樂,是最讓我深感驕傲的事。千萬別誤會,我可沒有荒廢學業。除非我的成績還可以,不然我父母不會讓我參加這麼多活動的。

我從國小五年級就開始對電腦感興趣。當時父親擺了一台大大的電腦在他的桌上,每次看他用電腦時,臉上專注的神情,及不由得起了崇拜之心,我對自己說,將來我也要變成像父親一樣。後來父親送我一部新電腦,從此我就對電腦上癮了,在網際網路出現後,我更是入迷,上網成了我最大的興趣。

電子商務已經改變了我們傳統的生活方式,以我自己為例,我用電子郵件和朋友聯絡,寄電子賀卡向朋友祝賀、向電子書店買書,從許多電子網站買東西、利用搜尋引擎找資料。

更不用說電子時代對商業帶來的重大改革:銀行很股市直接在網上經營,公司之間藉由網路進行交易,時間與空間的限制不再存在。我著迷於這新的改變,更想參與中,所以我決定主修資訊科學,我想成為專業的程式設計師,幫助新時代的人創造、設計所需要的軟體。
