谈谈美国大学申请之Essay写作方法
参考了很多的essay写作原则、写作技巧,主体搞定了,可是开头结尾却不知道怎么写,尤其是开头一段。知道essay是学校申请成功的第一步,而开头更是第一步的头。
优越论文网老师已经教会了各位申请者收尾的技巧:1、结尾时综述而非概括;2、进行适当的升华,将自己的观点与一些更加深刻的含义联系起来,使文章充满亮点;3、尽量不要加入全新的的观点。接下来就是对于锻造精彩开头的介绍了。
1、直接呈现型,即开门见山。在essay的刚开始就用一段有趣的观点、经历等来抓住读者的阅读兴趣是一个不错的选择。
2、引言型。文章开头使用一句不同寻常的、深奥的、有趣的引语,但是不要太长。选择的引语应该包含自己希望向录取官表达的某个意思。
3、突显独特型。或者在文章的开头显示出自己与众不同之处,而不是啰嗦地讲一些平淡的事情。
4、描绘形象型。对于一个人、一个地方或者是一件物品,如果能在文章开头做一个详细的描写,读者在阅读过程中会自然地出现你所描绘的形象的样子,读者更容易被吸引,进入文章深度阅读。
5、神秘吸引型。这个就类似于作文里的制造悬念了,这个可以一用。
以下是三则美国大学的申请essay开头范文:
【范例1】At my age, few people can genuinely claim that they have had a life-changing experience. After attending Leadership in the Business World (LBW) at the Wharton School last summer, I became one of those fortunate people to have experienced a life-changing academic program. Four weeks of meeting business executives, working with teammates through the night perfecting our professional business plan, experiencing the independence and responsibility that will come with college . . . none of this was advertised in the brochure for LBW, but all of this is what made it uniquely meaningful to me.
【范文2】Every first Thursday of each month I always look around the Van Muren Hall gymnasium looking at the sixty- and seventy-year-old men
and wonder what I am doing there with them. They have lived through world-shaping events like World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War, yet I sit there and interact with them as if there were no differences at all. The reason? We simply share a similar hobby.
【范文3】
Only shock prevented the tears from streaming down my face. My cells were dead. After being accepted into the competitive Stanford Institutes of Medicine Summer research Program (SIMr), and spending approximately 170 hours of the past month manipulating human embryonic stem cells (hESCs), I was back to square one—with only one month of my internship remaining. How in the world was I going to make up for lost time?
