[問題] SOP的格式要求

[sdidh (風)]

SOP的撰寫正如火如荼進行中，但現在碰到了一個小問題

UMD的SOP上有個固定格式的form長這樣

Write a brief statement addressing the following questions

1.What are your reasons for undertaking graduate study at the University of
Maryland? Indicate, if appropriate, any specific areas of research interest.
You may wish to discuss past work in your intended field and allied fields,
your plans for a professional career, or how you developed your interest in
or knowledge of your chosen subject.

2.What life experiences that you have had that you feel have prepared you to
pursue a graduate degree at a large, diverse institution such as the
University of Maryland? Among the items you might care to include would be
your financial, community and family background, whether you are the first
person in your family to pursue a higher education, or any other factors that
you feel would contribute to the diversity of our academic community. You may
also wish to give the graduate admissions committee some examples of your
determination to pursue your goals, your initiative and ability to develop
ideas, and/or your capacity for working through problems independently.
Please use additional pages, if necessary

我的疑問是，我需要一題一題回答嗎?

因為這邊的要求是write "a brief statement"

而其他學校如果有分開的題目，也會特別標明essay1,essay2

這邊就沒有特別說

那我可不可以把這兩個東西融合在一篇大的essay裡面寫呢?

謝謝各位~~
