在一步步向前发展的社会中，申请书在生活中的使用越来越广泛，通过申请书，我们可以提出自己的请求。那么一般申请书是怎么写的呢？
我叫张昕，出生于1987年8月18日，今年26岁，山东人。20xx年6月毕业于广州市亚加达外语专修学院商务日语专业。
日本对我来说是一个熟悉的国家，在日本生活三年可以说是一生受益，对我的人生来说也是个很大的转折。在日本我通过跟日本人的接触沟通，还有和日本人日复一日的携手工作慢慢地明白了什么叫「问是一时的羞耻，不问是一生的羞耻」。在日本三年还让我学会了无论何时何地都要面带微笑地去做好每一件事；也更加懂得了团结就是力量这句话的真正含义。日本的风土人情以及文化礼仪方面还是很值得中国人学习和借鉴的，日本人在做每一件事的时候，不论是多么不起眼的事情都会很有责任心地去完成，等等，还有很多地方都使我这一生受益匪浅。在日本研修这三年，我熟悉了汽车零部件生产的流程，不仅记住了一些汽车零部件的名称，而且也了解了汽车零部件的功能，对于汽车零部件的生产制造工程产生了极大的兴趣。另外，在研修时，结识了我的丈夫荣先军。我们计划回国后一起创业，从事日本汽车零配件方面的工作，把在日本学习到的知识和技能应用到实际的工作中。回国后，为了实现我们的理想，为了提高日语水平，以便能看懂专业性比较强的日文书籍，我选择到广州市亚加达外语专修学院商务日语专业学习日语。经过2年的系统学习，我基本上能看懂日文的技术书籍。大专毕业后，我把全部精力投入到我和丈夫一起创建的商行，做起了电动车部件的'批发零售工作。我们销售的电动车部件都是从日本进口的，因为质量好，服务也好，商行的业务迅速发展起来，现在每月会收到大批的订单。随着业务的发展，客户的需求也开始多样化，有的客户需要了解产品的详细功能，为了满足客户的需求，需要我给日本厂家打电话或者写邮件确认产品的性能和维护保养等方面的注意事项，虽然能用日语和日方厂家进行沟通，但有时有些表达还不是很流畅。另外，有些客户那里有产品更新和改善功能的需求，由于我和我丈夫都没有专门地学习过机械生产和设计的相关专业知识，有时感到力不从心。为了能把我们的业务做大做的更好，不仅仅是做产品的销售，将来能建成产品修理和保养中心，我和丈夫经过研究，决定让我到日本留学，为我么将来事业的发展打下基础。
我们计划首先到语言学校进一步提高日语水平，日语达到1级以上水平后，希望考进日本大学机械工学科，主攻机械学。大学毕业后，我将回到中国，将我在日本学习到的专业知识应用到今后的业务展开中，继续和丈夫一起把我们商行的业务发展壮大，让更多的中国人喜爱日本的产品，喜欢日本文化，为中日友好和中日经济文化交流的发展贡献力量。
我这次申请自费留学，出国留学的一切费用由我丈夫承担。我将非常珍惜这次难得的留学机会，努力学习，遵守日本的法律和学校的各项规章制度，做一名合格的留学生。
衷心希望我的留学申请能够得到批准！

Dear xx,
The sheer breadth of psychology appeals to me as there seems to be a rangeof exciting topics to explore. I find myself engaged with this vibrant subjectand enjoy reading about its various branches. A quote by Alfred Marshall, thefamous economist, best explains my choice for this subject. He stated that withpsychology there is always the 'pleasure of the chase'.
However, I am most passionate about the biological aspects of psychology.A-level biology has deepened my interest in the anatomy of key organs and howthey function. One of my particular fields of interest is cognitiveneuroscience. The intriguing world of cognition when merged with the scientificstudy of the brain, helps unlock some of the secrets inside the mind. Moreover,memory, decision making and perception, to name but a few, are all fascinatingand significant topics. Being enthusiastic about science, I consider myself wellsuited for the experimental nature of this degree.
I have attended master classes on 'Psychology and the mad mind'. Thiscovered some of the more shocking aspects of psychology. For example, WalterFreeman's transorbital lobotomy of the brain, the grim procedure and thecontroversy that surrounded it. This experience has not dissuaded me but ratherhas given me an insight into abnormal psychology.
Working part time as a market research interviewer, I have interviewedhundreds of participants from all ages and backgrounds, for organisation such asthe NHS. This experience has enhanced my communication skills significantly. Myinterview assessment rating in communication was full marks, something rarelyawarded.
Under the 'V' programme I have committed to over 80 hours of voluntarywork. Furthermore, my total should be over 160 hours by the end of this year. Acareer in psychology requires competence in working with people. Through myvoluntary work I have developed social skills which should prove useful in myfuture career as well as university. Acting as a personal mentor within school,my duties involve supporting particular children with learning difficulties,working with those individuals in class. 'Paired reading' is another scheme I aminvolved in. A younger student reads a passage to me and whilst listening Iprovide assistance and encouragement as required. Outside of school, I payvisits to an elderly care home and give company to the residents there, learningto work in a caring capacity at the same time.
My chosen sport is Football. This is my third year playing competitivefootball for a local club. As a result, I have learnt to appreciate theimportance of teamwork and being a reliable member of the team. Serving asassistant football coach, for a lower school year, is something I take greatpride in. My 'Junior Sports Leader Award' has given me experience in executingsports lessons and has helped me to become a better leader. Also, I playfootball socially with friends at a university sports centre. Walking throughthe campus for the first time, I was immediately inspired by universitylife.
A challenging yet exciting time is what I see ahead of me. The efforts putinto my academic study, part time and voluntary work, as well as sports, hashelped me to lead a dynamic life. I am keen to invest this same level ofactivity, if not more, throughout university. In conclusion, I am ready tocapitalize on the university experience but above all, utilize my zeal forpsychology to gain a reputable degree.
Yours sincerely,

Dear x,
I am planning to pursue graduate studies towards a Ph.D. degree at yourschool of engineering starting from the fall of 1999.
My interest in the building structure can be traced back to my success inhigh school years, when I excelled my fellow classmates in physics and geometry.This not only fired off my interest in structural design but also helped to laysolid groundwork for my undergraduate studies in civil engineering, whichheavily involved mechanics in physics and solid geometry.
With excellent scores in the compulsory national university entranceexamination, I won acceptance in 1991 into the Beijing Polytech University, oneof China’s top 10 engineering schools, particularly well-known for itsstructural engineering. For five years at this university, I received strict andthorough training in areas such as building structures, building materials. Soilmechanics and foundation, concrete and masonry structures, construction, steelstructure and earthquake resistant structure. I also took every opportunity toparticipate in co-po work and projects commissioned by construction and designcompanies.
Opportunities abound for civil engineers and civil engineering students inChina, which now houses the world’s fastest growing major economy. At everyyear’s job fair held on the campus of the Polytech University, more than 200positions compete for 60-odd graduating students. Under such circumstances,undergraduate students in their fifth year are also in high demand forinternship at various construction companies and design institutes. Virtuallyevery student gets a full workload immediately upon starting the internship andassumes considerable responsibilities soon afterwards.
I became the luckiest among the lucky by winning a rare opportunity for anycivil engineer: to participate in the design of the Beijing Western RailwayStation, the largest urban structure in China up to date. This happened while Iinterned, along with five other schoolmates, at the Beijing ArchitecturalInstitute. This institute has designed virtually all the modern landmarkbuildings in China, including the famous Great Hall of the People and the Museumof Revolutionary History on the T.A.M. Square, the Beijing Railway Stationand the Asian Games Village. It was on the strength of my academic merits that Igot to enjoy these opportunities.
The Western station project in Beijing consisted of the mail hall (70,000square meters), south wing building group (40,000 square meters) and north wingbuilding group (35,000 square meters). My task was to assist in the design of ashopping centre in the south wing which had 16,000 square meters. Iindependently accomplished a quarter of the design for the whole building,mainly responsible for the foundation design, calculation and drawing of steeldistribution of beam, floor, columns and concrete piles. I cherished thisopportunity to apply the knowledge I had learned in the classroom to the realworld problems and I worked with my utmost dedication.
I, however, soon found out that, even in this monumental project, designtechniques applied in many cases left much to be desired. When treating the windload, the earthquake force and the effect of frozen soil, historical data andintelligent estimates were used in place of accurate measuring. This phenomenonmade me determined to improve my knowledge and skills in a graduate program thatcan teach sophisticated know-how, such as yours.#e#
It regrettably turned out that the design of the mail hall was seriouslyflawed, which drew intense media attention nationwide. The structure sank twometers after completion. As experts continue to help the court determine who isresponsible, I myself have been awed by this drama and kept researching it eversince it became known.
My tentative explanation, submitted to take into account the undergroundwater’s power of buoyancy, even though the structure base was put below thewaterbed. The structure floated until enough load was mounted. The properconstruction method therefore should have involved artificial precipitationuntil the completion of structure.
Upon graduation in 1996, I joined the Beijing Biggest Co., one of the fourlargest construction companies in China, and immediately took on managementduties as an assistant manger at the construction site. I have supervised steelengineering, concrete engineering and platform engineering for theretwenty-three story buildings in the Beijing DD residential area, a total of60,000 square meters in apartments. In this capacity, I was compelled to learnmanagement skills which had never been taught in the classroom. Althoughconstruction management is not what I foresee to be a lifetime pursuit, Iexecuted my duty meticulously and creatively. I became the first constructionsite manager in the company to conduct experiments comparing box-weirmaintenance and the traditional manual watering method. By using box-weirmethod, weak concrete and cracks in the concrete were eliminated. Through theseimportant, albeit small, steps of improvement, I have derived immensesatisfaction.
My vigorous academic training and exposure to intricate design problems andcomplex construction management issues has stood me in good stead professionallycompared to my peers. My plan to further my career through advanced studiesstems from self-confidence in my academic calibre and also a strong desire tosolve design and construction problems encountered at work. I have researchedyour program based on the materials I have available to me and decided thatadvanced studies under your seasoned guidance will be a shortcut for me to reachmy goal. I request that you give my application for admission and financialsupport favourable consideration.
Yours sincerely,

Dear _
“Women aren’t suited for such hard subjects，” my friend Seung—woo told mewith a smug smile。 Seung—woo didn’t think that mathematics was a field forwomen。 Although he was my age and wasn’t tied down by most traditional beliefs，he believed that only men could be true mathematicians。 The majority of peoplein my country，South Korea，believe the gender stereotype that women areinherently inferior to men in mathematics。 I strongly disagree with thisoutdated notion。 Women are just as capable of outstanding mathematicalachievement as men，and I am determined to help disprove gender stereotypesthrough my example。
Mathematics has always given me a deep sense of satisfaction。 Even inelementary school，I was attracted to the precision and logic inherent inmathematical formulas。 I devoured as much mathematical information as I could，collecting theorems of mathematicians such as Gauss and Euclid like otherstudents collected stamps。 I had the opportunity to test my skills and knowledgein high school，when I competed in several national math competitions，includingthe Korea Mathematical Olympiad。 My strong showing in these venues，along withmy top math grades and perfect math score on the Korean SAT，bolstered myconfidence in my abilities。 I was proud to prove to others that I was capable ofperforming at the highest levels。
Despite my strong interest and achievement in mathematics，it has beendifficult for me to realize my potential due to the Korean educational system，which emphasizes cramming for tests instead of critical understanding。 Moresignificantly，Korean social biases against women in the fields of math andscience have discouraged me from pursuing my love of mathematics。 Thus，I wantto study in the United States，where I will be able follow my dream withoutthese constraints。 For about a year，I have taken English language courses at auniversity in Washington，D。C。，where I have gained a glimpse of Americanacademic life from the inside。 I am very impressed by American students’devotion to their studies and the system’s ability to support each student’sgoals。 I am therefore especially interested in attending Boston College，which，in addition to offering outstanding math and science courses，is renowned forits emphasis on cultivating students’ full development，or "cura personalis。" AtBoston College，I will be able to focus on my goal of becoming an excellentmathematician。
I am determined to succeed，but I know that I must overcome many challenges。Sometimes，when I feel discouraged by the obstacles I face as a Korean woman inmathematics，I imagine what my life will be like ten years from now。 Armed witha Boston College degree，I will visit my old friend Seung—woo。 We will havecorresponded over the years，so he’ll already know about the many mathematicsarticles published in my name，and he will be well aware of the internationalacclaim they received。 I will savor the day when Seung—woo admits that I wascorrect in believing that I could succeed as a mathematician。 I will be proud toknow that partly due to my achievements，the door to increased opportunities forwomen in math and science has swung open a little bit wider.
Yours sincerely

Dear xx,
My passion for psychology is deeply rooted in my interest in philosophy,epistemology and the understanding of human happiness. I sincerely believe inthe practical benefits of a life spent helping others, fully investing in thecultivation of empathy and compassion. With this end in mind I have alwayssought out challenging and rewarding opportunities to work with people and tostudy human relationships and problems.
I have had a long history of psychology related work experiences. I wasfirst employed at the Salt Lake City International Airport assisting physicallyand mentally disabled passengers navigate the terminal. Although the spectrum ofmental illness I was exposed to at this job was small compared to a lot of mylater positions, the airport served as a magnifying glass for human diversityand opened my eyes to the world beyond my local culture. There are few places onearth where you can find so much ethnic, cultural, religious and ideologicaldiversity so densely packed into a single building.
I was later employed as a Psychology, English and Math tutor for WeberState University working one on one with students by appointment. This joballowed for much more intimate, collaborative relationships and taught me a lotabout the process of learning. At this point I officially switched my major fromcivil engineering to psychology and my general interest in philosophy andepistemology began to focus through psychology.
I then worked as a Lead Staff at several different residential assistedliving facilities for individuals with developmental disabilities. I workedclosely with clients on a daily basis, often spending nights at the homes onsleep or waking graves or working doubles taking clients to company events andactivities. This was not simply a job for me, but a subculture I was completelyimmersed in as many of my close friends worked for the same company and weserved the same population of developmentally delayed individuals in the Ogdenarea. After leaving this job I later participated in community service through acompany called enable that employed many of the clients I had worked withpreviously.
Following avatar, I began employment as a Mental Health Worker on a youthsex offender unit at Benchmark Behavioral Health Hospital. I had the opportunityto sit in on group therapy sessions and to observe the peer interactionsthroughout the day. This was a very intense work environment, filled nearlydaily with extreme violence and verbal aggression. The turnover was incrediblyhigh at this job, and I learned to operate professionally in a high stressenvironment. I witnessed and was part of some powerful emotional experiences atthis job. I watched the adolescents grow into adults and deal with some veryserious issues stemming from dark and troubled pasts. It was when a youngpatient who seemed emotionally numb since his arrival opened up to me in thetimeout room, crying for over an hour about his regrets and frustrations that Idecided definitely that I wanted to pursue clinical psychology. I'll neverforget him saying, "It just feels good to tell someone you know, to talk aboutall this stuff, thanks for listening to me".
I currently work as a Psychiatric Technician at the University of UtahState Hospital, as an Employment Counselor for the State of Utah, and as aresearch assistant at the University. As a Psychiatric Technician I see patientsat their most acute symptoms. Since it is a crisis ward, I have the opportunityto interact with patients when they are first admitted and have been throughvery recent psychological and/or physical trauma. Patients are often extremelydelusional and having homicidal and suicidal ideations. As a psychiatric tech Ihave seen first hand a wide variety of diagnosis and what those diagnosistranslate to in terms of actual personally observed behavior.
I am also currently working with Dr. Diamond on a study looking at theformation and functioning of adolescent and adult attachment relationships, aswell as the different ways our attachment styles affect our closestrelationships over long periods of time. As a research assistant, the nature ofthe study is such that I am involved in a wide variety of experimentaltechniques. At the lab I have experience with video editing, dvd dubbing, dataentry, several forms of physiological equipment placement and data recording, aswell as many general computer and organizational tasks. I have had directexposure with participants in the study and seen first hand how theseparticipants' experiences in the lab translate to data.
I am particularly interested in working with Dr. Strassberg as much of hiswork deals with human sexuality and my interest in this area is substantial.Having worked with sex offender youth I would love to be involved in anyresearch in the area of adolescent sexual disorders or dysfunction. I find Dr.Florsheim's research of interest as well particularly the Adolescent Developmentand Outreach program. Aside from my desire to work with troubled youth, my otherresearch interests are quite broad ranging from ACT therapy, cognitivebehavioral therapy, positive psychology, the psychology of faith and religion,effective parenting styles, cohabitation, and marriage.
Throughout my life these experiences have allowed me to work closely withpeople, and many have allowed for and encouraged the development of therapeuticrelationships with patients or customers. This work experience has been veryvaluable in exposing me to real world scenarios where people are struggling tocope with mental and/or physical illness. Being involved directly and indirectlywith many different organizations that work to improve the lives of theseindividuals has helped me to gain a better more eclectic perspective on thetreatment of mental illness in our society. The knowledge I have gained from myschooling and my actual patient exposure work together to form a solidfoundation of practical and technical knowledge about clinical psychology andmental illness in general. Although my work could hardly be considered equitableto working as a licensed therapist, the experiences have done a lot in preparingme and priming my mind for more serious and involved study for psychology ingraduate school.
Yours sincerely,
