<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span class="p"><strong>It is</strong> the documentary, Beautiful Chemistry, <strong>that </strong>introduced me to the world of Chemistry. By means of microscopical techniques and digital technology, each chemical reaction is presented vividly and explicitly. Since then, I <strong>have been deeply enchanted by</strong> diversified forms and <strong>miraculous</strong> variations of various substances during their formations. <strong>Marveling at</strong> such a magical microscopic world, I am fascinated with Chemistry and have developed my learning interest in this discipline.<strong><span style="color: #1dadff;">【以《美麗化學(xué)》這個紀(jì)錄片為切入點,陳述化學(xué)吸引我之處:我著迷于物質(zhì)形成過程中的多樣化的形態(tài)和奇跡般的變化;并表達對于化學(xué)的研究興趣】</span></strong>As I learned more in college, I incisively sensed that Chemistry is an inseparable component of everything we can see. From the vibration of an atom to the throb of an organism, Chemistry permeates the whole process and researches the formation and evolution of macroscopic substances.<strong><span style="color: #1dadff;">【隨著學(xué)習(xí)的深入,陳述對于化學(xué)更深層次的理解:小到一粒電子的躍遷、一顆原子的振動,大到有機生命體的搏動,化學(xué)始終貫穿其中,探索著宏觀物體的形成與演化】</span></strong>Hence, embracing a great passion for Chemistry, I persist in pursuing higher education in this appealing domain to contribute to Chemistry-related research and application.<strong><span style="color: #1dadff;">【最后,再次強調(diào)對于化學(xué)的熱愛和研究興趣,表達想要深造的強烈愿望】</span></strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span class="p" style="background-color: #d6d6d6;">講座/書籍/電影/課程/研究項目等等,都是可以作為很好的契機,用于開篇第一段的興趣起源,來引出申請者對于xx專業(yè)的思考和探索興趣</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span class="p" style="background-color: #d6d6d6;">注意點:往往很多同學(xué)會在這一段中花大量篇幅去陳述課程/項目中做的客觀內(nèi)容,其實不然,有關(guān)這個契機的客觀陳述,只需一兩句簡單帶過,交代清楚是什么/做了什么即可,更重點的部分應(yīng)該是「我」從中得思考什么/對于專業(yè)有了什么更深的認(rèn)識,即通過個人觀點的展開,向招生官展示學(xué)術(shù)洞察力。</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /><span class="p">In my college study, I never <strong>slacked off for a moment</strong> but <strong>made unremitting endeavors to</strong> prepare myself for your rigorous postgraduate training. Academically speaking, I have laid a solid knowledge foundation involving inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, analytical chemistry, and physical chemistry. Specialized courses deepened my understanding of chemical characterization means and enabled me to use various chemical methodologies and techniques to analyze ingredients and structures of substances.<strong><span style="color: #1dadff;">【課程角度:陳述化學(xué)學(xué)科基礎(chǔ)】</span></strong>Simultaneously, with expertise in mathematics, statistics, materials science, and physics, I have been able to conduct rigorous experiments and precise data analysis and calculation.<strong><span style="color: #1dadff;">【展現(xiàn)數(shù)理知識基礎(chǔ)】</span></strong>Technically speaking, I proactively participated in diverse experiments, research, and competitions, which enhanced my problem analysis and experimental operation abilities and cultivated my critical thinking, teamwork spirit, and meticulousness.<strong><span style="color: #1dadff;">【能力角度:凸顯實驗技能,批判性思維,團隊合作和嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)?shù)膶嶒瀾B(tài)度】</span></strong>With sufficient preparation in knowledge and skill, I am looking forward to <strong>embarking on my postgraduate journey</strong> in the next period of my life.</span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span class="p">From May 2021 to May 2022, I led my team to participate in College Students’ Science and Technology Entrepreneurship Training Program: Research on Gene Detection Method based on Triple Helix Molecular Beacon.<strong><span style="color: #1dadff;">【開頭簡單交代清楚研究的課題,時間等基本信息】</span></strong>Taking the KRAS gene as the detection target, we introduced its DNA complementary sequence into the Triple Helix Molecular Beacon and designed a signal transduction probe (STP) chain capable of generating the G-quadruplex. Then, we designed three cDNA chains matching the target in varying degrees and probed into their advantages, respectively. As a result, a new cDNA chain, called cDNA-4, was produced with a part of base sequences optimized. Through the performance analysis of the G-quadruplex, I proposed to replace the STP-Probe chain with a new-found chain named 22-AG because of its more vigorous fluorescence intensity.<strong><span style="color: #1dadff;">【分層次陳述研究中的幾個關(guān)鍵步驟】</span></strong>The biggest challenge of our research was that the testing data of fluorescence intensity was unstable. Hence, changing the experimental conditions, we set several control groups for comparison, summarized the similarities of experimental data acquired in different turns, and got conclusions. The bonding strength between the target chain and the cDNA chain was stronger than that between the Probe-chain and cDNA chain. The annealing of the DNA solution was crucial to reinforce the triple helix between the cDNA-4 chain and the STP-Probe chain. In the subsequent experiment, we found the root cause for the unstable data—the light source for a fluorescence spectrophotometer had been used for too long, resulting in the instability of the fluorescence intensity. We took the G-quadruplex/ heme enzyme complex as the second output signal and carried out the colorimetric detection. Hard work pays off. We illustrated the bonding strength between the 22-AG chain and ThT by the fluorometric/colorimetric dual-signal test, thereby proving the strong bonding strength between the target chain and cDNA chain.<strong><span style="color: #1dadff;">【描述遇到的困難及其解放方案和最終結(jié)果】</span></strong>Lasting for one year, this research project was indeed a huge challenge for us. Despite that, this research deepened my understanding of abstruse chemical principles and enabled me to apply knowledge more flexibly, ponder issues more thoroughly, and conduct experiments more rigorously. In addition, thanks to this rewarding experience, I deeply realized that we should seek the essence of dizzying phenomena and universalities of complex data to sum up orderly and reliable experiment results. The acquisitions and experience I gained from this project will be conducive to my future study.<strong><span style="color: #1dadff;">【強調(diào)能力的提升,陳述研究心得】</span></strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span class="p" style="background-color: #d6d6d6;">科研經(jīng)歷的陳述,可以分步驟展開重點研究內(nèi)容,也可以著眼于某個困難的發(fā)現(xiàn)與解決,亦或是敘述某個創(chuàng)新點的提出與實踐,這些都是巧妙的寫作思路。</span></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span class="p" style="background-color: #d6d6d6;">這個研究生項目偏好具有化學(xué)以及化學(xué)相關(guān)學(xué)科背景的學(xué)生,因此在個人陳述的撰寫中,需要著重突出自己化學(xué)知識背景和研究技能。除此之外,可以在經(jīng)歷的陳述中,展現(xiàn)批判性思維,團隊合作,嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)性,學(xué)術(shù)洞察力等軟技能,這些也是項目看重的品質(zhì)。</span></p>
