读书计划是入学审查的一项重要文件，它是申请人未来导师无法直接面对申请人之前，所得到的先入为主的印象，第一印象往往事关重大。读书计划英文有许多说法如Objectives, Plans for Study, Academic Statement, Academic Objectives, Educational Goals, Statement of Purpose, Letter of Intent等。它应包含：
1. 选择该校的理由；
2. 准备主修什么学科；
3. 集中研究该学科的哪一方面；
4. 与主修和主攻方向有关的知识背景和工作经验；
5. 从事该研究的目的和毕业后的打算。
有的学校提供读书计划表格要求填写，还有的学校要求将个人简历和读书计划合二为一。这些在对个人简历和读书计划的写法有所了解后，都不难完成。
范例1 计算机系毕业生读书计划
When I was a high school boy, my father undertook a task of rearranging a data processing system with computer equipment for a government office. Which increasing contact, I decided to be a computer engineer to satisfy my curiosity about this incredible machine.
To realize the dream of getting into this miraculous world of computer, I studied very hard to pass the College Entrance Examination. According to the result of the Exam, I was admitted to Beijing University of Science and Technology, majoring computer science. A year later. I transferred to Tsinghua University, which is famous for its computer science.
During my five-year undergraduate study in the university, I had scholarship every semester because of my excellent academic performance. Besides, I tried to spend every summer working in a computer firm to get practical experience. I have produced a small Pascal compiler and a sample computer storage system for a company. Also I joined the research work "the arrangement of computer image" for the department.
I believe the future century will be a "computer" century and the world will greatly depend on it. Therefore it is necessary for us to broad my knowledge on this part. I intend to help the development of my country in this area. emphasizing in the objectives such as office automatism, the build-up of computer network, artificial brain and CAD / CAM, etc.
If I am able to complete my master degree within two years, I plan to continue to pursue a Ph.D. degree thereafter. As soon as I complete my study, I will come back home immediately to contribute what I have learned to my own country.

The computer programmers and engineers trained in this country cannot meet the pressing demand. I wish to devote myself to the application of computers and therefore, I have decided to pursue an M.S. degree in Computer Science. If admitted, I will concentrate my studies on the computer software.
I have some fundamental knowledge regarding the characteristics and capabilities of computers in a course on the Introduction to Computer Science which I took as an undergraduate, Nevertheless, I am willing to take more prerequisite courses if necessary.
Upon completing the studies, I will return to my country and seek a position as a programmer.
