UC申請倒計時!UC文書怎么寫?送上實用寫作指南
日期:2024-11-08 09:07:58 閱讀量:0 作者:冬老師進入11月,剛交完美國大學ED的你,是不是正在為UC申請做最后的沖刺?
與CA系統(tǒng)的主文書和補充文書有所不同,UC系統(tǒng)每年都會公布8道個人洞察力問題(Personal Insight Questions,簡稱PIQ),要求申請者從中選擇4道作答,且每道問題的回答需控制在350字以內(nèi)。
為了幫助大家更好地應對這些挑戰(zhàn),優(yōu)弗精心準備了一份全面的寫作指南,結(jié)合多篇優(yōu)秀的UC文書范例,深入剖析如何巧妙解答UC的其中3道PIQ。
文章末尾還附有【藤校優(yōu)秀文書范文】,對于正在撰寫文書的你來說,絕對不容錯過!
第一題:領(lǐng)導力
Prompt1:
Describe an example of your leadership experience in which you have positively influenced others, helped resolve disputes or contributed to group efforts over time.
描述一個展現(xiàn)你領(lǐng)導力的例子。在過程中,你對他人產(chǎn)生了積極的影響,幫助解決了糾紛,或為團體的努力做出了貢獻。
領(lǐng)導力是美國大學極為重視的品質(zhì),因此UC文書將這道題置于首位。
題目中提到的積極影響他人、解決糾紛能力和團隊貢獻能力,都是展現(xiàn)領(lǐng)導力的關(guān)鍵要素。
Example Essay:
Ming Ji Restaurant
向上滑動閱覽
Since 5th grade, I have been my parents’ right hand at Ming Ji Restaurant in our hometown of Zacatecas, Mexico. Sometimes, they needed me to be the cashier, other times, a dishwasher or chef’s assistant in the kitchen, and eventually I was expected to interact with customers as the youngest waiter on staff.
As I developed more in this role, I became a keystone piece for the waiters. I taught them how to properly attend groups of unsatisfied customers and the fundamentals of customer service. Consequently, I acquired organizational habits and dialogued more fluently to resolve problems. I developed better strategies to speed up home-delivery and in restaurant service. Through this, I achieved not only a better rapport with my colleagues but also a more honest and enjoyable relation with my dad’s employees. It implanted a strong work ethic in me that reminds me of the hardworking farmers of my past generations.
I believe that to achieve efficiency and productivity in the working environment between employees and the manager, it requires not only the firmness and attention of a boss, but also the empathy and vision of a leader. These were the very qualities I developed as my dad’s assistant.
Working through the many facets of a small business has taught me the key role of small groups in a system, and I applied this beyond the walls of the restaurant. In school, you will see me managing and organizing one-on-one mediations with peer counselors, and at the same time, earning myself a leading position in my school’s British English Olympics team.
As a result of my years laboring for my family restaurant, you might think that I would like to become an entrepreneur. But in actuality, I picture myself as an engineer, as I believe both require the adaptability, perseverance, dedication, and strategy to succeed in this field.
分析
在這篇范文中,作者以獨特的視角定義了領(lǐng)導力,強調(diào)領(lǐng)導力不僅限于學生會主席或非營利組織創(chuàng)始人的角色,家庭中的工作同樣能體現(xiàn)領(lǐng)導才能。
作者分享了自己在餐廳工作中學到的經(jīng)驗,并闡述如何將這些經(jīng)驗應用于其他領(lǐng)域。
文章結(jié)尾,作者還清晰地表達了將為UC帶來的價值觀、技能和品質(zhì),結(jié)構(gòu)清晰,易于閱讀。
第二題:創(chuàng)造力
Promp2:
Every person has a creative side, and it can be expressed in many ways: problem solving, original and innovative thinking, and artistically, to name a few. Describe how you express your creative side.
每個人都有創(chuàng)造性的一面,它可以通過許多方式來表達:解決問題、原創(chuàng)和創(chuàng)新思維以及藝術(shù)表達等等。請描述你如何表達你創(chuàng)造性的一面。
美國大學高度重視創(chuàng)新型人才的培養(yǎng),UC將這道題放在第二位,旨在深入了解申請者的綜合能力。
Example Essay:
Drumming
分析
文章開頭,作者便通過設置懸念的方式引出主題:如何更充分地表達自己的音樂創(chuàng)造力?
隨后,作者通過嘗試在日常生活中打鼓并發(fā)明自己的樂器來解答這一問題。
文中還運用了一些專業(yè)術(shù)語,如“壓電傳感器、印刷電路板和晶體管”,展示了作者在電子領(lǐng)域的知識儲備。
第三題:才能/技能
Prompt3:
What would you say is your greatest talent or skill? How have you developed and demonstrated that talent over time?
你最突出的才能或技能是什么?一直以來,你是如何培養(yǎng)并展示這一才能或技能的?
在回答這道題時,許多學生傾向于使用GPA和獎項作為例證,或選擇運動、藝術(shù)特長來闡述。
然而,才能/技能的范圍遠不止于此,溝通能力、研究能力、批判性思維、善于傾聽和共情能力等軟技能同樣值得書寫。
Example Essay:
Finding connections among the dissimilar
分析
作者選擇了一種抽象的才能——尋找不同事物之間的聯(lián)系,并通過列舉具體例子來充分展示這一才能。
文章最后,作者進一步升華主題,強調(diào)這項能力不僅幫助自己整合了身份,還向招生官展現(xiàn)了一個更加立體、豐富的申請形象。
