2019年美國本科加州UC系統(tǒng)寫作題目

寫作要求：8選4，每個(gè)題目字?jǐn)?shù)最多350詞。

 

1.Describe an example of your leadership experience in which you have positively influenced others, helped resolve disputes or contributed to group efforts over time.

 

描述一次對(duì)他人有積極影響，解決過矛盾糾紛和在團(tuán)隊(duì)中有過較長時(shí)間的貢獻(xiàn)的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)力經(jīng)歷。

 

Things to consider: A leadership role can mean more than just a title. It can mean being a mentor to others, acting as the person in charge of a specific task, or taking the lead role in organizing an event or project. Think about what you accomplished and what you learned from the experience. What were your responsibilities?

 

Did you lead a team? How did your experience change your perspective on leading others? Did you help to resolve an important dispute at your school, church, in your community or an organization? And your leadership role doesn’t necessarily have to be limited to school activities. For example, do you help out or take care of your family?

 

寫作提示：領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者不僅僅是一個(gè)頭銜。它可以意味著指導(dǎo)他人，負(fù)責(zé)具體一項(xiàng)任務(wù)，或者在組織活動(dòng)中發(fā)揮領(lǐng)導(dǎo)作用。想一下你的成就和你從這個(gè)經(jīng)歷中學(xué)到了什么？你的職責(zé)是什么？你曾經(jīng)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)過一個(gè)團(tuán)隊(duì)嗎？你的經(jīng)歷是否改變了你對(duì)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)力的看法？你是否在學(xué)校、社區(qū)教堂或社團(tuán)組織中幫助他人解決過重要糾紛？同時(shí)，領(lǐng)導(dǎo)力也不一定局限在學(xué)校內(nèi)的活動(dòng)。比如說，你是否曾幫助照顧過你的家庭成員？

 

2. 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(gè)人都有創(chuàng)造力的一面，可以通過很多形式表現(xiàn)出來：解決問題，創(chuàng)新思維和藝術(shù)創(chuàng)造力等。描述一次能展現(xiàn)你創(chuàng)造力一面的經(jīng)歷。

 

Things to consider: What does creativity mean to you? Do you have a creative skill that is important to you? What have you been able to do with that skill? If you used creativity to solve a problem, what was your solution? What are the steps you took to solve the problem?

 

How does your creativity influence your decisions inside or outside the classroom? Does your creativity relate to your major or a future career?

 

寫作提示：創(chuàng)造力對(duì)你來說意味著什么？你是否有一項(xiàng)很重要的創(chuàng)新技能？你能用這項(xiàng)技能做什么？如果你曾經(jīng)用創(chuàng)造力解決過問題，你當(dāng)時(shí)的解決辦法是什么？你采取了哪些步驟來解決這個(gè)問題？你的創(chuàng)造力在課堂內(nèi)外是如何影響你的決策的？它跟你的專業(yè)或者未來的職業(yè)有聯(lián)系嗎？

 

3. What would you say is your greatest talent or skill? How have you developed and demonstrated that talent over time?

 

描述自己最大的天賦和能力以及你是如何發(fā)展它們的。

 

Things to consider: If there’s a talent or skill that you’re proud of, this is the time to share it. You don’t necessarily have to be recognized or have received awards for your talent (although if you did and you want to talk about it, feel free to do so). Why is this talent or skill meaningful to you?

 

Does the talent come naturally or have you worked hard to develop this skill or talent? Does your talent or skill allow you opportunities in or outside the classroom? If so, what are they and how do they fit into your schedule?

 

寫作提示：如果你有一項(xiàng)引以為豪的天賦或能力，現(xiàn)在是時(shí)間與我們分享一下了。你不必通過獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)來證明你的才能（當(dāng)然，如果你確實(shí)獲得過獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)，也可以在這里分享一下）。為什么這項(xiàng)才能對(duì)你來說很重要。這項(xiàng)才能是天生的還是通過你后天的努力慢慢發(fā)展的？它是否給你在課堂內(nèi)外帶來了機(jī)遇？如果有，那它給你帶來了哪些機(jī)遇，這些機(jī)遇又是怎樣融入你的日常生活學(xué)習(xí)中的？

 

4. Describe how you have taken advantage of a significant educational opportunity or worked to overcome an educational barrier you have faced.

 

描述一次你如何利用好重要的教育機(jī)會(huì)或戰(zhàn)勝教育相關(guān)的困難的經(jīng)歷。

 

Things to consider: An educational opportunity can be anything that has added value to your educational experience and better prepared you for college. For example, participation in an honors or academic enrichment program, or enrollment in an academy that’s geared toward an occupation or a major, or taking advanced courses that interest you — just to name a few.

 

If you choose to write about educational barriers you’ve faced, how did you overcome or strive to overcome them? What personal characteristics or skills did you call on to overcome this challenge? How did overcoming this barrier help shape who are you today?

 

寫作提示：一個(gè)教育機(jī)會(huì)可以是能使你的教育體驗(yàn)增值以及能讓為你上大學(xué)做更好準(zhǔn)備。例如，參加一個(gè)榮譽(yù)項(xiàng)目，參加職業(yè)或?qū)I(yè)相關(guān)的學(xué)會(huì)，或者學(xué)習(xí)一些你感興趣的高級(jí)課程，等等。

 

如果你選擇寫你遇到的學(xué)術(shù)困難，那你是怎樣克服或者努力克服這些困難的？你是依靠自身的哪些個(gè)人特點(diǎn)或技巧來克服這個(gè)挑戰(zhàn)的？克服困難的過程又是怎樣塑造了現(xiàn)在的你？

 

5. Describe the most significant challenge you have faced and the steps you have taken to overcome this challenge. How has this challenge affected your academic achievement?

 

描述一次你曾面臨過最重大的一次挑戰(zhàn)，以及如何戰(zhàn)勝挑戰(zhàn)，此次經(jīng)歷對(duì)你的學(xué)業(yè)表現(xiàn)有何影響？

 

Things to consider: A challenge could be personal, or something you have faced in your community or school. Why was the challenge significant to you? This is a good opportunity to talk about any obstacles you’ve faced and what you’ve learned from the experience. Did you have support from someone else or did you handle it alone?

 

If you’re currently working your way through a challenge, what are you doing now, and does that affect different aspects of your life? For example, ask yourself, “How has my life changed at home, at my school, with my friends or with my family?”

 

寫作提示：挑戰(zhàn)可以是個(gè)人的，也可以是你在社區(qū)或?qū)W校中遇到的。這次挑戰(zhàn)為什么對(duì)你來說很重要？這是一個(gè)能夠讓你談?wù)撚龅降娜魏卫щy以及你從中學(xué)到什么的很好的機(jī)會(huì)。這個(gè)過程有他人幫助嗎，還是你獨(dú)自應(yīng)對(duì)的？

 

如果你現(xiàn)在正在應(yīng)對(duì)一次挑戰(zhàn)，那你現(xiàn)在都在做些什么？這有沒有影響到你生活的其他方面？例如，問問你自己，“在家里，學(xué)校里，與朋友之間，與家人之間，我的生活都發(fā)生了怎樣的變化？”

 

6. Think about an academic subject that inspires you. Describe how you have furthered this interest inside and/or outside of the classroom.

 

哪一門學(xué)科能夠給予你啟發(fā)和激勵(lì)，你是如何在課內(nèi)外繼續(xù)學(xué)習(xí)這門學(xué)科的？

 

Things to consider: Many students have a passion for one specific academic subject area, something that they just can’t get enough of. If that applies to you, what have you done to further that interest? Discuss how your interest in the subject developed and describe any experience you have had inside and outside the classroom — such as volunteer work, internships, employment, summer programs, participation in student organizations and/or clubs — and what you have gained from your involvement.

 

Has your interest in the subject influenced you in choosing a major and/or future career? Have you been able to pursue coursework at a higher level in this subject (honors, AP, IB, college or university work)? Are you inspired to pursue this subject further at UC, and how might you do that?

 

寫作提示：本題旨在討論申請者感興趣的學(xué)科，學(xué)科興趣是如何產(chǎn)生和發(fā)展的。可以結(jié)合課堂內(nèi)外的經(jīng)歷，例如志愿者工作，暑期項(xiàng)目，參與學(xué)生組織或課外活動(dòng)等，來描述自己在這一學(xué)科的投入。與此同時(shí)，文書中還應(yīng)展示你的成長與收獲——參與這些活動(dòng)讓你獲得哪些改變，取得哪些進(jìn)步。

 

你的興趣是否影響你對(duì)于學(xué)校專業(yè)以及職業(yè)規(guī)劃的選擇？你是否在這些學(xué)科領(lǐng)域中參加過難度更高的高級(jí)課程（如榮譽(yù)課程，AP，IB又或者是大學(xué)課程）？你是否會(huì)在加州系大學(xué)繼續(xù)學(xué)習(xí)這個(gè)學(xué)科，你將如何學(xué)習(xí)？這也可以在文書中回答，讓招生官看到你的學(xué)術(shù)興趣。

 

 

7. What have you done to make your school or your community a better place?

 

你曾做過對(duì)你的學(xué)校和社區(qū)有益的事情嗎？

 

Things to consider: Think of community as a term that can encompass a group, team or a place — like your high school, hometown or home. You can define community as you see fit, just make sure you talk about your role in that community. Was there a problem that you wanted to fix in your community?

 

Why were you inspired to act? What did you learn from your effort? How did your actions benefit others, the wider community or both? Did you work alone or with others to initiate change in your community?

 

寫作提示：社區(qū)可以是一個(gè)小組，隊(duì)或者一個(gè)地方。比如你的高中，家鄉(xiāng)，家庭等。你可以把它定義成任何你覺得合適的內(nèi)容，談一下你在這個(gè)社區(qū)里的角色。在你的社區(qū)里是否有一個(gè)你想要解決的問題？

 

什么事情激發(fā)了你要去做些改變？你從自己的努力中學(xué)到了什么？你的行動(dòng)是如何讓他人或更大的社區(qū)受益的？這件事是你一個(gè)人發(fā)起的還是和其他人一起去進(jìn)行的？

 

8. Beyond what has already been shared in your application, what do you believe makes you stand out as a strong candidate for admissions to the University of California?

 

除了在申請中你已分享過的，你認(rèn)為還有什么能讓你作為UC強(qiáng)有力的候選人脫穎而出？

 

Things to consider: If there’s anything you want us to know about you, but didn’t find a question or place in the application to tell us, now’s your chance. What have you not shared with us that will highlight a skill, talent, challenge or opportunity that you think will help us know you better?

 

From your point of view, what do you feel makes you an excellent choice for UC? Don’t be afraid to brag a little.

 

你有很多想展現(xiàn)給招生官看的素材，沒法在申請表上一一填寫，這道題目給你展示的機(jī)會(huì)了。在你沒有分享的事情中，有哪些天賦、能力、挑戰(zhàn)、或是機(jī)遇是能夠讓UC招生官對(duì)你有更加深刻的了解，能夠讓加州大學(xué)招生官對(duì)你有更好地了解你？

 

在你看來，你的哪些特點(diǎn)使你成為UC的最佳候選人？放開點(diǎn)，夸夸自己。
