A Home Destroyed
I was seven years old when I saw the ocean for the first time. My grandmother had invited me to visit her near Okinawa, Japan. I will never forget that encounter—the intense sun, the endless horizon, the infinite shades of blue that dissolved any boundary between sky and waves. And most of all, the secret of the water. Swimming in those waters was like diving into a kaleidoscope, deceptively plain on the outside, but a show of colors on the inside, waiting to dazzle me, mesmerize me. Those colors! Coral reefs—pink, green, red, purple—covered the seafloor; streaks of sunlight illuminated them, the swaying water creating a dance of hues. And weaving in and out of the contours of coral swam brilliant fish that synchronized every movement with the water, creating one body, one living entity. I longed to join and flow with them to the music of the waves; that’s where I felt I belonged. And leaving was like parting home, not going home.
Five years later, I returned. At first, all seemed to match my memory: the crystalline waters and that open horizon with the sun daring to come closer to Earth. But the second I dove in, I knew my home had vanished…white. That’s all I could see around me: bone-white death. I co uldn’t accept it. I kept swimming farther out, hoping to catch even the smallest hint of color. But there was no sign of that brilliant garden I remembered, just fragments of bleached coral. It was like looking down onto the aftermath of a war: a bombed city, with only the crumbles of cement to testify for the great buildings that once stood. But who was the culprit behind this egregious attack?
Though at the age of twelve, I couldn’t even begin to guess, I now know the answer is us. Humans are an impressive species: we have traveled to every continent, adapted to countless environments, and innovated to create comfortable means of living. But in the process, we have stolen the colors from nature all around the globe, just as we did that coral reef. Our trail of white has penetrated the forests, the oceans, the grasslands, and spread like a wild disease. I, too, have left a white footprint, so I have a responsibility to right
these wrongs, to repaint those colors, and to preserve the ones that remain. Some question why I should care. The answer is simple: this planet is my home, my birthplace. And that, in and of itself, is an inseparable bond and a timeless connection. Nature has allowed me my life, so I have no right to deny its life. As Jane Goodall once said, “If we kill off the wild, then we are killing a part of our souls.” This is my soul—our soul. I know that I alone cannot protect this soul, so I will not make a promise that I cannot fulfill. But this promise I will make: I will do what I can do.

大学申请书中的申论题应该选择什么主题?以及事前该做什么准备?下列是几个我们
认为非常重要、有用,并且能帮助您做决定的注意事项。
1. 英文书写能力
对大部分亚洲学生而言,每天说的、写的语言显然不会是英文。想当然尔,准备申请书最困难的部分也就是用英文写这些申论题。所以,您必须事先做好万全准备,才能从容面对这个挑战。在动笔写申论题前,您必须先有二、三个月的时间做准备。这段时间内英文书报读得越多越好。特别注意这些文章的组织与架构,以及句子的结构。您一旦看到可以用来描述自己的单字,务必记得抄在另外准备的笔记本上,并且将其组句方式记下来。
在读过大量不同的英文文章以后,练习写一些描写自己的句子。一开始,先写二、三个简单描述自己的句子。这些句子的结构不必很复杂,只要用您习惯的结构就可以。再来,列出您的专长才能、兴趣,还有您喜欢的电影。简单写几个段落来描述一些对您有影响的人、事、物。在整个写作练习过程中,请专注在「什么人、什么事、什么东西」上,而不要太过注意细节。做这个练习的目的是让您以自己为主题,先熟悉写一些简单的英文句子,然后再慢慢进步到能用这些句子组成完整的段落。
几个月后,您可以累积很多描述自己的单字与句子了。万事起头难,但慢慢的,您就会发现自己进步很多。而所收集这些关于自己的英文信息,在正式写申论题的时候,就可以派上用场了。
