出国留学文书个人陈述的开头怎么写有吸引力？文书一段有趣的开头是读者的福音。SOP的首段，一定要想办法抓住读者的眼球，让他们有想要看下去的欲望。首段至少要三句话，它可以是独特的、幽默的；可以是一段emotional的personal的经历，也可以是人生中一个转折点；可以是作者经历的一场自然灾害、大事件，也可以是对某种严重社会现象的忧虑。万事开头难不过一旦写好SOP的开头，文书思路就会变得开阔又流畅。
下面介绍几种容易吸引读者眼球的首段写法：
1.顿悟
SOP的首段，通常需要直截了当地点明你对某专业领域的兴趣。那如何点明呢？如果你能用一种“顿悟”的方式去表明，将很容易引起读者的兴趣。这种“顿悟”可以是一个你决定进入这个领域的瞬间，或者一个你发现自己兴趣的瞬间。
Example: When the old man urinated on my leg, it ran down my pants and into my shoe. I could not let go of him, as I was holding him up, trying to move him from a wheelchair onto the bed. That’s when I first realized that medicine was not going to be just starched white lab coats and golf at four. I looked again at medicine, the actual practice of medicine on real people, and saw that it often involved messy fluids, imperfection, and an element of surprise…（具体描述一个moment）
不要害怕用一些生动的细节描述来表达这些“顿悟”的瞬间，有时候正是这些生动的细节描述抓住了读者的心。“顿悟”也可以通过一段具体经历表现出来。用一段具体经历，尤其是决定你对某领域产生兴趣的经历作为SOP的开头，不但可以从首段就展现你对该领域了解的深度，而且也能开篇就展现你的个人能力和品质、以及对所申请领域的热情
2. 暗示
另一种通过首段吸引读者眼球的方法，是通过“暗示”更多精彩内容在后头来抓住读者的心，让他们有一种继续往下读的欲望。这可以通过抛出一个问题来实现，也可以给一个吸引人的场景，或抛出一种强烈对比，来引起读者探索问题的兴趣。
Example: 抛出问题：“Why in the world do you want to go to law school? Heaven knows we don't need any more lawyers.” Having worked for the large, prestigious law firm of Bells & Motley since mid-July, it continues to surprise me how frequently I have been asked that particular question. （短开头欲扬先抑）

3. 独特
如果你本身有什么与众不同的独特经历，那么将这种独特性在首段中就点出来，将会非常吸引读者眼球。（进入独特性挖掘）。
Example: At the age of forty-eight, I left my two adult children, my husband, and the dishes in the sink, and moved into a college dorm to become a freshman. And because I was a first-generation college student, I had no one to tell me that a college dorm is not the serene, academic refuge I was always imagined.
