18年加州系統(tǒng)文書寫作指導下

問題五：描述你面臨的最重要的挑戰(zhàn)以及你為克服這個挑戰(zhàn)做了哪些努力 ? 這個挑戰(zhàn)對你的學業(yè)成績產(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?

這一問題和上面的問題非常類似。再次強調(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)克服過一個巨大的挑戰(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。但如果你寫的是一個戲劇性的事情，要小心掉進 “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.

問題六：描述你最喜歡的學科以及它是如何影響你的 ?

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

這是我最喜歡的問題。如果你對某一學科充滿熱情，無論是學校里的課程還是自學的科目，你都應該選擇這個問題。這個問題有利于展示你的求知欲望和個人觀念。

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細節(jié)，以此來證明你對于某一學科的熱愛。如果你喜愛生物學，那就描述這樣高雅美觀的內(nèi)容：只有當鈣離子釋放時，肌肉才會收縮；而且它會根據(jù)我們的意圖來活動。如果你熱愛文學，那就描述出你最喜歡的莎士比亞的詩句。

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.

接下來描述對這一學科的熱愛，是如何塑造了你的觀念。如果是生物學，就描述當你在體育館時，大腦是如何給肌肉發(fā)送信號的。如果是文學的話，就描述當你的一位朋友深深迷戀上了樂隊里的一個女孩，他夢幻般的眼神緊緊盯著樂團建筑時，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.

問題七：為了你所在的學校和社團變得更好，你做了哪些貢獻？

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

不要列舉簡歷里的那些無趣的個人經(jīng)歷。要談?wù)撃切┠愀信d趣的集體話題。

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，說說你喜歡藝術(shù)的原因，并解釋一下藝術(shù)是高中教育中一個至關(guān)重要的部分。緊接著談?wù)撘幌履銥槭裁匆谝粋€教室里設(shè)立學生藝術(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)作品的學生人數(shù)，或者是學校社團給出的一些積極的回應。

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.

問題八：列舉一件能夠讓你區(qū)別于其他加州大學申請者的事。

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

這是最開放的一個問題，可能也是最重要的一個。即使你沒有選擇這個問題，我也建議你試著去回答一下。因為讓一個學校接受你的申請（或者是在求職過程中），最重要的部分就是讓你和你的競爭者區(qū)別開來。把這個問題當作回答其他問題的參考。

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.

你的回答應該展示出自己的個性、觀點以及自我意識。事實上，這個問題和普通的申請文書很相似。如果你已經(jīng)準備好了一篇很棒的申請文書，那就試著從中摘取一些內(nèi)容來回答這個問題。

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，或者你早晨一定會做的事。如果是展現(xiàn)你的個性，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.

無論你選擇哪些問題，都要記住，回答要具體明確，娓娓道來。確保你的回答能夠涵蓋你的四個不同的方面。不要寫兩個表現(xiàn)領(lǐng)導力的答案，這太浪費了。

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.
