對(duì)媒體的熱愛(ài)讓我堅(jiān)持前行

The Passion for Media Industry Makes Me Continue the Journey

I always wanted to work in media industry and I have had multiple experiences both in China and America in the related field. （表達(dá)意愿，簡(jiǎn)介資質(zhì)）

一直以來(lái)我都很想從事媒體方面的工作，并在中國(guó)和美國(guó)都有過(guò)相關(guān)經(jīng)歷。

I was born and raised in China in a 'media family' where many family members suggested me to stay away from media industry because of the intense working environment and people’s prejudice toward media professionals. My passion for the industry, however, kept me from listening to the advice.（介紹專業(yè)的媒體家庭背景，證明自己“根紅苗正”）

我出生和成長(zhǎng)在中國(guó)的一個(gè)“媒體家庭”。因?yàn)槊浇楣ぷ鲝?qiáng)度大且媒體工作者承受著社會(huì)不少的非議，所以家中許多從事媒體工作的長(zhǎng)輩曾勸我不要從事該行業(yè)，但對(duì)于這一行的熱愛(ài)致使我沒(méi)有聽(tīng)從這樣的勸誡。

High school year I joined the editorial team of school magazine. I was first working as the graphic designer and copyeditor, and later the chief editor. I helped the school publish three issues and generated contents for two more issues after demission. （證明自己從小就表現(xiàn)出天賦）

高中時(shí)期我加入了學(xué)校?？木庉媹F(tuán)隊(duì)，起先是一名美術(shù)和文字編輯，之后曾擔(dān)任執(zhí)行主編。我?guī)椭鷮W(xué)校出版了三期刊物，并且在離職后持續(xù)為兩期刊物提供了稿件。

Publication design and writing was my edge back in China. Throughout the years I lived there I received many awards, including a few provincial prizes and one national prize for a short story I wrote based on Sichuan Earthquake in May 2008.（介紹所獲獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)）

After high school I chose English major at first at Shanxi University and then went to study abroad in U.S. in 2012 at University of Minnesota Duluth (UMD) for media related studies. （介紹自己學(xué)業(yè)上的深造）

高中畢業(yè)后我選擇就讀了山西大學(xué)的英語(yǔ)專業(yè)，不久于2012年通過(guò)明尼蘇達(dá)大學(xué)德盧斯校區(qū)與山西大學(xué)的出國(guó)項(xiàng)目轉(zhuǎn)學(xué)到美國(guó)進(jìn)行媒體相關(guān)專業(yè)的深造。

*at first：一開(kāi)始

*media-related studies：與媒體有關(guān)的學(xué)習(xí)

My foreign identity brought me inconvenience in many ways at first, and being unable to use English as efficiently as native English speakers made me feel like a former ballerina now spending life in a wheelchair. The feeling faded away quickly when I started to fit in. I started to publish news stories, and found out that my sensibility in culture and emotion helped me discover more stories while attending events, facing issues, and talking with others. My first published story Giant Panda home for Chinese Duluthians received the highest view count on Lake Voice News ran by Writing Department at UMD. Later I worked for Lake Voice News as a copyeditor during a summer.（巧妙把“缺點(diǎn)”轉(zhuǎn)化成“優(yōu)點(diǎn)”，凸顯出自己的優(yōu)勢(shì)--適應(yīng)力強(qiáng)、嗅覺(jué)敏銳--這都是媒體人必背素質(zhì)）

初來(lái)乍到，我感受到自己的外籍身份帶來(lái)的諸多不便，也為自己不能像本地人一樣熟練地運(yùn)用英語(yǔ)感到難過(guò)，好像從前的芭蕾舞者如今要在輪椅上度日。這樣的感覺(jué)在我逐漸適應(yīng)環(huán)境后便消失了。我開(kāi)始發(fā)表新聞作品，并發(fā)覺(jué)自己在文化和情緒方面的敏感程度可以幫助我在面對(duì)不同活動(dòng)、事件、和人物時(shí)挖掘出更多的故事。我發(fā)表的第一篇新聞故事《大熊貓中餐館，德盧斯中國(guó)人的家》在當(dāng)時(shí)的明尼蘇達(dá)大學(xué)德盧斯校區(qū)寫(xiě)作系主管的Lake Voice News上獲得了該網(wǎng)站創(chuàng)辦以來(lái)的最高點(diǎn)擊率。之后的夏天我在網(wǎng)站擔(dān)任了文編。

*...bring one many inconvenience：...給...帶來(lái)很多不便；

*in many ways：在很多方面

*fade away：消失

*fit in：適應(yīng)、融入

*sensibility in：對(duì)...的敏感度

*receive the highest view count on...：在...獲得最高的點(diǎn)擊率

Accomplishing a degree in communication and journalism was quite a challenging journey for an international student from which I have improved a lot; therefore I decided to continue this journey and attend graduate journalism school. （表達(dá)繼續(xù)深造的決心）

對(duì)于一個(gè)國(guó)際學(xué)生來(lái)說(shuō)，拿到傳播與新聞?lì)惖膶W(xué)位并不容易，從中我也受益不少，于是我決定申請(qǐng)研究生來(lái)繼續(xù)這趟征程。

*accomplish a degree in...：拿到一個(gè)...的學(xué)位

*...is quite a challenging journey for：...對(duì)...而言是艱難的旅程（不容易）

My goal is to strengthen my skills and find a job in media industry especially in publishing and international reporting. I want to keep learning new journalistic skills and techniques to help me stay fresh in the field, and hope to work for a media company in America or start my own magazine in China in future. （介紹自己的愿景）

我的目標(biāo)是加強(qiáng)自己的技能，并在媒體行業(yè)特別是出版或國(guó)際新聞?lì)I(lǐng)域找到一份工作。我希望可以繼續(xù)學(xué)習(xí)新聞相關(guān)的技能與技術(shù)，使自己在媒介領(lǐng)域持續(xù)處于前沿。更加長(zhǎng)遠(yuǎn)地，我希望可以在美國(guó)的一家媒介公司工作，或?qū)?lái)在中國(guó)創(chuàng)辦自己的雜志。

*strengthen one's skills：增強(qiáng)某人技能

*stay fresh：保持前沿

*start my own magazine：創(chuàng)辦我自己的雜志

I organized my media related experiences and working samples in my personal website. Please free feel to check them out and hope to meet you at Medill next summer.（貌似輕描淡寫(xiě)的邀約，實(shí)則凸現(xiàn)對(duì)自己學(xué)習(xí)、工作經(jīng)歷的信心，更凸現(xiàn)自己在互聯(lián)網(wǎng)傳播這塊的優(yōu)勢(shì)。）

我將自己媒體相關(guān)的經(jīng)歷和寫(xiě)作樣本整理發(fā)表在了我的個(gè)人網(wǎng)站上，敬請(qǐng)查閱。希望在來(lái)年夏天與你在Medill相遇。

--侃哥酷評(píng)--

一篇好的文書(shū)不用太長(zhǎng)，語(yǔ)言方面也不用堆砌復(fù)雜的難句和華麗的辭藻，保證語(yǔ)法正確、行文流暢、舒服、簡(jiǎn)潔是第一位的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，然后在娓娓道來(lái)之中，凸顯出自己的背景、學(xué)業(yè)表現(xiàn)、工作經(jīng)歷、所獲獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)。把自己的優(yōu)勢(shì)、決心和愿景呈現(xiàn)在字里行間，從而打動(dòng)讀者，這樣才是一篇好的文書(shū)。
