干货来袭!美国本科申请文书写作攻略及优秀范文赏析

　　众所周知，对于美国留学生而言，一篇优秀的申请文书是成功申请美国大学的必备因素，可是，很多留学生对于文书的写作十分模糊，不知该如何书写?其实，书写申请文书也有一些鲜为人知的技巧，只要把握好写作特点，就可以为申请加分，那么，接下来，就随小编来看看美国本科申请文书写作攻略及优秀范文赏析，希望对大家有所帮助：

　　一、写作特点

　　1、通篇文字个性化

　　首先文字必须原创，这是基本，按照自身真实情况书写，同时精炼文字，建议巧妙使用经典名人语录，可以在文中体现，以显露你的阅读量。留学文书就是个人最具特点的广告，要突出重点，向招生官展示自己鲜明的形象，从而给他们留下深刻印象。但不要让文章结构过于复杂难懂，试想招生官每天要完成大量教学工作，同时要抽出时间阅读来自全世界学生的申请材料，简单有力的文章才能最吸引招生官的眼球。

　　2、善于抓住细节点

　　文字需呈现鲜明个人特征，相同的学习经历必然有与众不同的独特点，抓

　　住一个细节进行描述，拒绝泛泛而谈。有些学生喜欢通过大篇幅罗列自己参加过的课外活动来体现自己“全面”的性格特征，或是用来掩盖自己学术方面没有可以阐述的内容，然而招生负责人希望看到的是你的学习动机和学术能力，太多的活动反而让招生官不能从中提炼出你的优势。写自己经历中的一个特别点，写“活”文字，才能打动招生负责人。

　　3、贴近西方思维习惯

　　如果要以英文写作，首先需要用西式思维思考，而不是先将内容用中文表达，再翻译成英语。东西方文化的差异导致美国的教授和招生官对于中国学生所阐述的优缺点看法不尽相同。在以往的经历中发现，有些本科申请者表达出来的“优点”实际上在西方看来是缺点，这一方面的优点反而会反映出申请人在另一方面的缺陷。因此申请人要以西方的思维方式来提炼自己的申请素材，适当地在篇幅里展示出来。

 

　　二、注意事项

　　1、切勿开篇引用名人语录

　　对文字的运用能力是招生负责人对申请人的第一印象，开头必须个性化。可以在文中引用名人语录，但切忌以名人语录作为全篇的开头，切勿以宏大的视角开头，然后再进入主题，以免本末倒置。

　　2、注重个人经历的独特性

　　避免重复写自己的志愿服务经历或是其他经验，千篇一律的文书会让招生负责人产生审美疲劳，如若一定要写，也须更换写作角度，以不同的视角呈现，以便与他人的申请文书区分。

　　3、坚持实事求是的真实性

　　坚持叙述事实，呈现事件的本来面貌，不但不会觉得平凡，反而会增加招生负责人的好感度。如果文书里面有大量的“做什么什么真有趣”或者“我觉得自己很成功”这些既模糊又普通的语言时，你就要反思一下了。

　　4、避免显而易见的错误点

　　最容易出局的文章是没有检查第二遍的文章，其中最基本的就是拼写错误，这个可以请别人代为阅读检查，可能会发现以前没发现的漏洞。

　　优秀范文赏析

　　College: Harvard University

　　In my mother’s more angry and disillusioned moods, she often declares that my sisters and I are “smarter than is good” for us, by which she means we are too ambitious, too independent-minded, and somehow, subtly un-Chinese. At such times, I do not argue, for I realize how difficult it must be for her and my father—having to deal with children who reject their simple idea of life and threaten to drag them into a future they do not understand.

　　For my parents, plans for our futures were very simple. We were to get good grades, go to good colleges, and become good scientists, mathematicians, or engineers. It had to do with being Chinese. But my sisters and I rejected that future, and the year I came home with Honors in English, History and Debate was a year of disillusion for my parents. It was not that they weren’t proud of my accomplishments, but merely that they had certain ideas of what was safe and solid, what we did in life. Physics, math, turning in homework, and crossing the street when Hare Krishnas were on our side—those things were safe. But the Humanities we left for Pure Americans.

　　Unfortunately for my parents, however, the security of that world is simply not enough for me, and I have scared them more than once with what they call my “wild” treks into unfamiliar areas. I spent one afternoon interviewing the Hare Krishnas for our school newspaper—and they nearly called the police. Then, to make things worse, I decided to enter the Crystal Springs Drama contest. For my parents, acting was something Chinese girls did not do. It smacked of the bohemian, and was but a short step to drugs, debauchery, and all the dark, illicit facets of life. They never did approve of the experience—even despite my second place at Crystal Springs and my assurances that acting was, after all, no more than a whim.

　　What I was doing when was moving away from the security my parents prescribed. I was motivated by my own desire to see more of what life had to offer, and by ideas I’d picked up at my Curriculum Committee meetings. This committee consisted of teachers who felt that students should learn to understand life, not memorize formulas; that somehow our college preparatory curriculum had to be made less rigid. There were English teachers who wanted to integrate Math into other more “important” science courses, and Math teachers who wanted to abolish English entirely. There were even some teachers who suggested making Transcendental Meditation a requirement. But the common denominator behind these slightly eccentric ideas was a feeling that the school should produce more thoughtful individuals, for whom life meant more than good grades and Ivy League futures. Their values were precisely the opposite of those my parents had instilled in me.

　　It has been a difficult task indeed for me to reconcile these two opposing impulses. It would be simple enough just to rebel against all my parents expect. But I cannot afford to rebel. There is too much that is fragile—the world my parents have worked so hard to build, the security that comes with it, and a fading Chinese heritage. I realize it must be immensely frustrating for my parents, with children who are persistently “too smart” for them and their simple idea of life, living in a land they have come to consider home, and yet can never fully understand. In a way, they have stopped trying to understand it, content with their own little microcosms. It is my burden now to build my own, new world without shattering theirs; to plunge into the future without completely letting go of the past. And that is a challenge I am not at all certain I can meet.

　　Comments:

　　1. This is a good strong statement about the dilemma of being a part of two different cultures. The theme is backed by excellent examples of the conflict and the writing is clear, clean, and crisp. The essay then concludes with a compelling summary of the dilemma and the challenge it presents to the student.

　　2. A masterful job of explaining the conflict of being a child of two cultures. The writer feels strongly about the burden of being a first generation American, but struggles to understand her parents’ perspective. Ultimately she confesses implicitly that she cannot understand them and faces her own future. The language is particularly impressive: “It sacked of the bohemian,” “subtly unChinese,” and “a fading Chinese heritage.” That she is not kinder to her parents does not make her unkind, just determined.
