<human>:  How do I write an effective statement of purpose for a master's degree?
<bot>: An effective statement of purpose for a master's degree should clearly explain your academic and professional goals, touch on your qualifications for the program, and explain how the program of study can help you achieve your goals. It should also demonstrate your knowledge and understanding of the subject of study, demonstrate your ability to think critically and creatively, and demonstrate your ability to communicate effectively. Lastly, it should be written in a professional yet personal tone and reflect your enthusiasm for the program and its potential to further your future goals.
