字號:


    為什么同樣的背景,其他學生被美本名校錄取了,而你卻一無所獲?答案只有一個,你的申請文書嚴重拖了你的后腿。下面出國留學網(wǎng)來說說2019美國本科留學文書題目一覽。
    好的文書真的能為申請加分,雖然2018的美國院校申請季尚未結束,但2019申請季Common Application的申請短文已新鮮出爐。跟隨美嘉教育來詳細了解一下2019美國本科文書題目以及2018年入學美本學生文書題目選擇的比例。
    Common Application是什么?
    Common Application,美國大學通用申請系統(tǒng),大家習慣簡稱為Common申請系統(tǒng),是美國本土及國際申請者提交美國大學申請的網(wǎng)絡平臺。適用于包括哈佛、耶魯、麻省理工等眾多名校在內的大多數(shù)美國大學。
    與去年相比,新一申請季Common Essay的短文題目和寫作要求大體一致,美嘉教育將最新的Common Essay題目解題列舉如下,方便正在準備18-19申請季的同學提早準備短文寫作思路!
    01、Some students have a background, identity, interest, or talent that is so meaningful they believe their application would be incomplete without it. If this sounds like you, then please share your story.
    此題是Common Essay中最傳統(tǒng)的申請短文題目之一,Common Application多次改革,自始至終一直沿用至今。
    申請者可以寫自己的背景、身份、興趣或才能,建議大家可以結合自身經歷廣泛取材,通過你的故事學??梢粤私饽愕孽r明性格特點、不為人知的經歷以及獨樹一幟的才能天賦,為學校呈現(xiàn)一個與眾不同的自己。
    02、The lessons we take from obstacles we encounter can be fundamental to later success. Recount a time when you faced a challenge, setback, or failure. How did it affect you, and what did you learn from the experience?
    選材時請仔細斟酌并思考,選取失敗經歷對于你日后成功和發(fā)展的重大意義,可以嘗試寫自己生活和成長中的經歷,同時重點突出逆境中自己在心理和思想上的成長,以及你從這次經歷獲取的寶貴經驗是如何影響你并引導走出困境走向成功的。
    03、Reflect on a time when you questioned or challenged a belief or idea. What prompted your thinking? What was the outcome?
    任何偉大想法和理念的誕生都源自于人們不斷地探索和求識。如果你正是這樣一位不拘泥于慣性思維冒險家,不斷嘗試變革的開拓者,勇于創(chuàng)新發(fā)明家,此題非常適合特點如此鮮明的你。
    文章中你需要清晰地闡述你的觀點,你提出這個觀點的依據(jù)是什么?是什么觸發(fā)了你的思考?最后你是否把你的想法付諸于實踐,實踐的最后結果是什么?
    題目更加趨向“在質疑某個觀點后,你思考的全過程以及你挑戰(zhàn)后的結果”,大家在選擇這道題目需要謹慎,不要過度追求“標新立異”給人留下一個憤世嫉俗的印象是不可取的,所以選取這道題目前立意明確尤為重要。
    04、Describe a problem you've solved or a problem you'd like to solve. It can be an intellectual challenge, a research query, an ethical dilemma - anything that is of personal importance, no matter the scale. Explain its significance to you and what steps you took or could be taken to identify a solution.
    在實踐中能夠發(fā)現(xiàn)問題,解決問題的能力,是申請者從事學術研究、專業(yè)實習和勝任未來工作的必備能力。
    學校希望通過這道題目看到一個勇于創(chuàng)新、不斷探索、追求極致的你,一位具備發(fā)現(xiàn)問題并能著手解決問題的人,無論是從事學術科研還是面對生活中的困境,都具有取得更大成功的潛質。
    05、Discuss an accomplishment, event, or realization that sparked a period of personal growth and a new understanding of yourself or others.
    亮點在于需要申請者借自己的一次重要經歷來闡述對于“個人成長和對自我認知”。究其深層含義,強調寫個人成長經歷中一件非常具有特殊意義的經歷,讓我們在思想變得更加成熟。或是一次嶄新的事件給予我們重新審視自己的機會,記錄我們的成長軌跡和心路歷程,讓我們對自己以及他人和外部的世界有更深層級的認知和感悟。
    06、Describe a topic, idea, or concept you find so engaging that it makes you lose all track of time. Why does it captivate you? What or who do you turn to when you want to learn more?
    請描述一個你感興趣的話題、觀點或理念,其實我們生活中不乏各種新思妙想,往往都會隨著時間的推移慢慢淡化,但是總有一個想法和觀點在你的腦海里永未褪色,它會引發(fā)你濃厚的興趣并促使成為你堅定的理念和最大的追求。
    首先你需要在文章中確立這個觀點,然后在文章中表述你抱以極大的熱情專注于此的原因,以及你在學習和探索的過程中獲取信息的渠道和方式。
    07、Share an essay on any topic of your choice. It can be one you've already written, one that responds to a different prompt, or one of your own design.
    此題看似你可以寫任何內容,實際上你要寫出不同于以上六個題目要求的短文還是小有難度,建議選題是先從以上六個題目入手,除非你有更好的寫作素材,或自己可以設計一個有新意題目,來表述自己獨到的見解。

    為何新一申請季文書寫作要求與去年大體一致?
    "Through the Common App essay prompts, we want to give all applicants - regardless of background or access to counseling - the opportunity to share their voice with colleges. Every applicant has a unique story. The essay helps bring that story to life," said Meredith Lombardi, Associate Director, Outreach and Education, for The Common Application.
