    本来我是用第二个套路写的。但是感觉前后不连贯，缺少coherence。关键的是我的成绩也没那么突出。。。

lz看看这个建议吧，大使伯爵子提供的，现在在讨论中，http://www.1point3acres.com/bbs/thread-19024-1-1.html：

In reality, a lot of the SOPs end up being artefacts that neither help nor hurt the cause of the application. Most SOPs tend to be similar to each other in flow and format and even though the individual facts differ, only rarely do they stand out. An important point missed out by most applicants is that even though the SOP is a means to convince the admissions committee of his/her calibre, it should not merely be a boastful compilation of the applicant’s previous achievements. In that case, the SOP ends up being nothing more than a verbose curriculum vitae, when it actually is supposed to be a statement of purpose. Majority of the SOPs fail to address the purpose part completely or only talk about it in a few sentences in the concluding paragraph. The statement should instead prove the candidate’s worthiness not just through his/her prior work, but with a detailed discussion of why the candidate chose the particular program, what he/she intends to do while pursuing the program and what he/she will do after having gained the education. Talking about a bright idea that one might have or an impactful long term project that the applicant wants to work on is more likely to catch the reviewer’s attention (and convince him that higher education will serve a good purpose) than the applicant’s memoirs.
