Hi, everyone!

I am Usman Ali, a PhD aspirant in Nuclear, Particle, and Astroparticle Physics. As English is not my native language and I prefer not to rely on AI tools for my PhD application, I am seeking guidance to improve my writing. Specifically, I would appreciate recommendations for physics-related writing samples, such as personal, research, teaching, or motivational statements, or even books that can help me craft compelling, story-driven application documents.

I believe the best approach to writing well is to immerse oneself in diverse, high-quality examples, which inspire critical thinking and articulate expression. Your suggestions and insights would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for taking the time to read my message, and I look forward to your responses!

Together with what @gmax137 said, I would suggest you immerse yourself in the English language overall: reading, writing, watchIng videos in English, etc. The better your English skills, the easier it is to convey your thoughts. Note this is general advice and not a criticism of your writing.
