美國本科留學申請Essay寫作詳解及范文模板

在申請美國本科留學時，申請材料中需要寫essay，對于第一次接觸留學的學生來說是比較無頭緒的，留學文書并不是一篇簡單的文章，它是能表現(xiàn)你的自傳體小說，那么essay的寫作步驟和常見的題目是怎么樣的呢?了解完這些后再看范文例子。

一、美國本科申請essay寫作步驟

第一步：prewrite

這一步手寫或者電腦打印都可以，寫的沒有調(diào)理也不要緊，只能羅列詞句，不能形成段落也可以，但是，速度一定要快，內(nèi)容一定要廣，重要的是為接下來時間內(nèi)要有充足的材料去挑選，找出與眾不同之處，加以剖析。

第二步：drafts

每個學校的essay都有不同的topic和字數(shù)限制，不要企圖用萬金油去對付所有的學校，各個學校的東西有共性，但是差異化的東西更多，所以，個人認為，申請6—8所學校的同學，應(yīng)該要有2篇不同方面的main essay，并且在投稿時需要一定的修改。而draft就是要從prewrite中篩選你不同的但是優(yōu)秀的性格方面，有側(cè)重學術(shù)的，有側(cè)重社會活動的，有的可能僅僅是一個小故事，然后，形成一篇文章。 【essay寫作指導(dǎo)】

第三步：revise and format

檢查字數(shù)，一定要復(fù)合要求，接近規(guī)定字數(shù)，不要超過。檢查語法，拼寫，用詞不當?shù)牡胤�，要小心不要使用自己翻譯的詞，比如性價比這個詞我們耳熟能詳，但美國人表達這個意思一般用cost effective。格式上，美國大學寫作一般用 8.5x11 inch的信紙，用time new roman字體，12號字，雙倍行間距，首行縮進，作對齊，題目中置等一系列的小規(guī)則，提交紙質(zhì)版的同學要注意啊。

Failure Leads to Success

Discuss a significant quote you live by.

“I''ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I''ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I''ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I''ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.” –Michael Jordan

It didn’t register in my mind that we were going to be living in Egypt until we were halfway across the Atlantic. I knew that the experience in Cairo would be a memorable one. What I didn’t know was that I was going to come back home three years later, after enduring many tests and enjoying some successes.

My first test came when I realized my Arabic communication skills were more text-book than conversational. I knew this would be a major hindrance in school and that I had to overcome this shortcoming if I was to be well-integrated. I decided to speak with common Egyptian folk whenever the chance arose, even if that meant I might commit numerous verbal faux pas. By making mistake after mistake, I grew to learn that the slightest change in the way one pronounces a letter can sway the meaning of a word. This ushered the way for me to learn more about Egyptian culture and to learn about what is considered taboo. After reading tens of modern Egyptian books in colloquial Arabic, studying the specifics of Arabic grammar, and conversing with hundreds of Egyptians, I am comfortable saying that I improved my communication skills tremendously.

Studying at an international school also meant traveling internationally to compete in athletics. The long awaited roster for the Junior Varsity team had just been posted and my name sat alone at the bottom of the list at the position of team manager. It was not what I signed up for; I was greatly disappointed. I put my emotions aside and went to our first practice that afternoon. I believed that the coach made a mistake but I did not complain or do a mediocre job. I knew the only way to prove my self on the court was to practice perfectly. I lived by the quote my brother used to always tell me, “Practice doesn’t make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect.” After each and every practice I would spend additional hours on the court working on my weaknesses and sharpening my skills while simultaneously managing my heavy course load. I developed my ball handling skills and foot work and perfected the form on my jump shot. I maintained my intense training regimen and started playing Varsity in 9th grade at my school in Virginia. I am now the Captain, leading scorer, and record-holder for the most 3-pointers ever made in a single season during my junior year. Being appointed as team manager with a minimal role was my motivation for success.

My experiences have driven me to believe that failure is a part of the process of succeeding. The way one accepts or deals with a loss or a failure will ultimately decide your fate. In the path to success there will be obstacles and roadblocks. If you come across them you must not turn back and submit; instead, you should work around the obstacles and overcome the roadblocks. By doing so, you get one step closer to success. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. That is why I will succeed at Harvard College.
