18年加州系統(tǒng)文書(shū)寫(xiě)作指導(dǎo)下

問(wèn)題五：描述你面臨的最重要的挑戰(zhàn)以及你為克服這個(gè)挑戰(zhàn)做了哪些努力 ? 這個(gè)挑戰(zhàn)對(duì)你的學(xué)業(yè)成績(jī)產(chǎn)生了怎樣的影響？

Describe the most significant challenge you have face an the steps you have taken to overcome this challenge. How has this challenge affecte your acaemic achievement?

這一問(wèn)題和上面的問(wèn)題非常類(lèi)似。再次強(qiáng)調(diào)，不要關(guān)注挑戰(zhàn)，而要關(guān)注自己克服挑戰(zhàn)的方式。如果你曾經(jīng)克服過(guò)一個(gè)巨大的挑戰(zhàn)，比如糟糕的家庭境遇，重大疾病，或者至親之人的離世，那么你可以描述出來(lái)。但如果你寫(xiě)的是一個(gè)戲劇性的事情，要小心掉進(jìn) “贅述事情本身”這一陷阱。

This question is very similar to the previous question. Again, on’t focus on the challenge, focus on your response to it. If you are someone who has overcome a major challenge, such as a ba family situation, an illness, or the eath of a love one, then this is the place to write about that. But if you o write about a ramatic event, be careful to avoi the trap of writing more about the event than yourself.

問(wèn)題六：描述你最喜歡的學(xué)科以及它是如何影響你的 ?

Describe your favorite acaemic subject an explain how it has influence you.

這是我最喜歡的問(wèn)題。如果你對(duì)某一學(xué)科充滿(mǎn)熱情，無(wú)論是學(xué)校里的課程還是自學(xué)的科目，你都應(yīng)該選擇這個(gè)問(wèn)題。這個(gè)問(wèn)題有利于展示你的求知欲望和個(gè)人觀念。

This is my favorite UC question. If you feel passionate about an acaemic subject, whether it is one you stuie in school or on your own, then choose this prompt. This question is excellent for emonstrating intellectual curiosity an personal perspective.

明智的回答便是描寫(xiě)細(xì)節(jié)，以此來(lái)證明你對(duì)于某一學(xué)科的熱愛(ài)。如果你喜愛(ài)生物學(xué)，那就描述這樣高雅美觀的內(nèi)容：只有當(dāng)鈣離子釋放時(shí)，肌肉才會(huì)收縮；而且它會(huì)根據(jù)我們的意圖來(lái)活動(dòng)。如果你熱愛(ài)文學(xué)，那就描述出你最喜歡的莎士比亞的詩(shī)句。

A great response will mention specific etails that prove your passion for a subject. If you like biology, escribe how it so elegant an beautiful that muscles only contract when calcium ions are release, thereby allowing actin an myosin to bin when we want them to. If you love literature, escribe your favorite puns from Shakespeare.

接下來(lái)描述對(duì)這一學(xué)科的熱愛(ài)，是如何塑造了你的觀念。如果是生物學(xué)，就描述當(dāng)你在體育館時(shí)，大腦是如何給肌肉發(fā)送信號(hào)的。如果是文學(xué)的話(huà)，就描述當(dāng)你的一位朋友深深迷戀上了樂(lè)隊(duì)里的一個(gè)女孩，他夢(mèng)幻般的眼神緊緊盯著樂(lè)團(tuán)建筑時(shí)，你想到了蓋茨比凝視著黛西碼頭盡頭的綠燈。

Then emonstrate how this has shape your perspective. For biology, escribe how, when you work out at the gym, you imagine your brain sening signals to sarcomeres. For literature, escribe how your frien has a crush on a girl in the orchestra, an when he stares reamily at the orchestra builing, you imagine Gatsby gazing at the green light at the en of Daisy’s ock.

問(wèn)題七：為了你所在的學(xué)校和社團(tuán)變得更好，你做了哪些貢獻(xiàn)？

What have you one to make your school or your community a better place?

不要列舉簡(jiǎn)歷里的那些無(wú)趣的個(gè)人經(jīng)歷。要談?wù)撃切┠愀信d趣的集體話(huà)題。

DON’T just list some boring things you i to a to your resume. DO talk about community issues that you are passionate about.

例如，說(shuō)說(shuō)你喜歡藝術(shù)的原因，并解釋一下藝術(shù)是高中教育中一個(gè)至關(guān)重要的部分。緊接著談?wù)撘幌履銥槭裁匆谝粋€(gè)教室里設(shè)立學(xué)生藝術(shù)館，以及你為此戰(zhàn)勝的挑戰(zhàn)。最后，給出一些具體的成果，比如提供藝術(shù)作品的學(xué)生人數(shù)，或者是學(xué)校社團(tuán)給出的一些積極的回應(yīng)。

For example, explain why you love the arts an why you think they are such an essential part of a high school eucation. Then explain why you chose to set up a stuent art gallery in one of your school’s classrooms, an how you overcame challenges to achieve that. In the en, give some specific results, such as the number of stuents who contribute artworks, or some of the positive responses from the school community.

問(wèn)題八：列舉一件能夠讓你區(qū)別于其他加州大學(xué)申請(qǐng)者的事。

What is the one thing that you think sets you apart from other caniates applying to the University of California?

這是最開(kāi)放的一個(gè)問(wèn)題，可能也是最重要的一個(gè)。即使你沒(méi)有選擇這個(gè)問(wèn)題，我也建議你試著去回答一下。因?yàn)樽屢粋€(gè)學(xué)校接受你的申請(qǐng)（或者是在求職過(guò)程中），最重要的部分就是讓你和你的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)者區(qū)別開(kāi)來(lái)。把這個(gè)問(wèn)題當(dāng)作回答其他問(wèn)題的參考。

This is the most open-ene question an maybe the most important. Even if you on’t use this question, I recommen you try to answer it. Because an essential part of convincing a college to accept you (or an essential part of applying for a job) is ifferentiating yourself from your competition. Use this prompt as a way to prepare to answer the other prompts.

你的回答應(yīng)該展示出自己的個(gè)性、觀點(diǎn)以及自我意識(shí)。事實(shí)上，這個(gè)問(wèn)題和普通的申請(qǐng)文書(shū)很相似。如果你已經(jīng)準(zhǔn)備好了一篇很棒的申請(qǐng)文書(shū)，那就試著從中摘取一些內(nèi)容來(lái)回答這個(gè)問(wèn)題。

Your answer shoul emonstrate personality, perspective, an self-awareness. In fact, this is pretty similar to the essay you might write for the Common Application. If you have alreay written a goo Common App essay, see if you can cut some wors an use it here.

重點(diǎn)在于：選擇關(guān)于你自己的有趣的事情。談?wù)撃愕呐d趣、古怪的家人，或者你早晨一定會(huì)做的事。如果是展現(xiàn)你的個(gè)性，那么就談一下你的才能或者成就。

Important: Choose something interesting about your personal ientity. Talk about a hobby, your strange family, or your morning routine. Only talk about a talent or achievement if it reveals something about your personality.

無(wú)論你選擇哪些問(wèn)題，都要記住，回答要具體明確，娓娓道來(lái)。確保你的回答能夠涵蓋你的四個(gè)不同的方面。不要寫(xiě)兩個(gè)表現(xiàn)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)力的答案，這太浪費(fèi)了。

Whichever prompts you choose, remember to tell a story an be specific! An make sure your four responses show four ifferent sies of you. Don’t write two responses that only emonstrate leaership. That’s a waste.
