文书写作指南大全（二）主题明确，问题具体
future work in a sex crimes division in criminal prosecution. For two classes at [school] I have researched domestic violence and battered women who kill their abusers. While in Washington, D.C., I studied acquaintance rape among adolescents: after making an extensive review of the existing literature, I tried to conduct original research interviewing teenagers at a recreation center in Alexandria, Virginia.
Though at the last moment the recreation center directors did not authorize my project, I did discover a class called "Self-Defense is More than Karate" that was developed by the Office on Women in Alexandria to instruct high school students on relationships,HIV/AIDS, dating violence, and sexual assault. After I observed one week of the program, the Community Education Coordinator asked me to research how such education influences teens, interviewing students before and after they take the class, for the Office on Women. Currently, I seek a research grant from the [school] College Honors Program that would allow me to go back to D.C. in the spring to carry out this project.
Fighting the "not fair" is certainly a driving force for me; however, I have chosen to pursue law not only because I consider it to be a weapon against injustice, but also because it fascinates me. My love for the law echoes my love for literature. I participated in theater in high school and majored in English in college because I enjoy analyzing the subtleties, innuendos, and themes that serve as the foundation of a literary work or a dramatic performance. I strive to understand the stories behind the characters involved. I am awed by the power of language and the influence art and literature can have on the values, thoughts, and actions of the audience. So goes the influence on the law: they call it "courtroom drama" for a reason. Just as literature tells a story, so does each legal case, be it criminal or civil; the way in which the law applies to each case must be analyzed and, in some instances, constructed.Law reflects as much as it influences the beliefs of the people it governs.
Both law and literature are instruments of change. Furthermore, literature and law can give voice to people who have been traditionally silenced. Just as I love so much to hear the voices of others through literature, I want to use my voice in the realm of the law, calling out "not fair" for those who have not been heard. I want to have a positive influence on the lives of women and all people, be it in the civil or criminal realm, and in law school I hope to gain the tools to do just that.
二、为什么有资格？
另一个主题是论述你的经验和资格，这两者是你进研究生院和成为你的研究领域一员并能为之做出贡献所必须的。你的工作经验或在自己领域的研究经验总是你能提供的最好证据。如果你没有这方面的经验，那么考虑你有什么与之有关的其他经验。这里要遵循的规则是：有的话，就利用它。
研究领域的经验
和你的研究领域有关的直接经验是你的文章中要论述的最理想的经验。这里须记住的重要一点是你有什么经验，有多少经验，都应该提到，不管你自己觉得多么微不足道。以下提供的文章作为例子，它们的作者分别是一位HIV的顾问（例2）和一位具有ER经验的申请人（例3）写的。他们都在申请医学院。
研究经验
千万注意：不要只集中在你的研究题目，除非那是你的研究领域的标准做法，而且你必须把主要思想概括出来。过分依赖自己的研究，你的文章读起来就会显得枯燥乏味。注意不要滥用行话或专业术语。如果那是你描写自己的项目所必须，你当然别无选择。但是在文章里包含行话或专业术语只是因为你能够这样做，那是不会引起人家的兴趣的。例如，这位申请人（例3），探讨科技和医学术语的使用，但又离开这些术语，花了足够的时间揭示他自己个人的非技术性的一面。
不寻常的研究领域的经验
即使你没有正式的经验，你可能还会有值得一提的研究领域方面的经验。或许，你是个优秀的业余天文学家，或者在你决定攻读博士学位之前，几年来你就一直在研究量子物理学。这位申请人（例4）描述了一个令人着迷的成功故事。尽管作者没有经过正式的训练，没有经验，而且她只能提供一个15美元的Johnson & Johnson 药箱，她被迫违反规定在洪都拉斯的一个村庄当了一个夏天的医生。

High School Teacher with AIDS; SCID/Genetics Research Experience; HIV Counselor Before I found out that my high school Spanish teacher was HIV-positive, AIDS was not much more than a bunch of statistics to me. The disease, its course, and the people afflicted with it seemed alien to my life-as distant as the continent from which the virus was supposed to have sprung. Then Mr. T. stopped coming to school. When he reappeared a few months later to wish us well on the advanced placement exam, his face looked sallow. His voice, once a thunderous bass that rumbled in class and reverberated down the hallway, was weak and thin. Seeing my teacher looking so unfamiliar was my shocking introduction to AIDS. I felt as if I were in the presence of a stranger, this mysterious disease, who was insulting Mr. T. right in front of my eyes. I wanted to know who this stranger was.
I entered college, believing that biology could explain to me why life's processes went awry. I learned that the body is exquisitely complex, but I was reassured by the underlying theme of systems. Even if I didn't know all the molecules and connections, there seemed no denying that a fundamental order existed.
From physiology to cell biology to molecular
