美國本科獎學(xué)金申請書寫作技巧

　　總體來講，充分的準(zhǔn)備可以體現(xiàn)在：全面了解美國大學(xué)的錄取人數(shù)和獎學(xué)金發(fā)放比例;在文書寫作中有效地挖掘升華自己的優(yōu)勢，在現(xiàn)有基礎(chǔ)上加強競爭力;與教授及導(dǎo)師保持積極到位的溝通，讓自己在數(shù)以千計的申請者中脫穎而出。

　　合適長度為600~800個英文單詞。必須緊扣所要申請的那個專業(yè)來寫，主線要明確，不要盲目地個性化。讓招生者知道你選擇該專業(yè)的明確和強烈的動機，同時具備充分的條件完成該專業(yè)的學(xué)習(xí)。結(jié)構(gòu)簡單，銜接緊密，主線明確，便于理解。許多申請人將簡歷放在PS中，這會弱化了PS應(yīng)起的作用。語言表達一定要用地道的英語。

　　另外一篇修改過的文章開頭用詩一般的語言寫道(有刪節(jié))：

　　……I first read this paragraphMadame Curie as a 14-year-old child,I still remember how wonderful I felt. I remember thinking, “What esteemed men they were! How hard they worked!” As I grew older, this paragraph became a source of encouragement in the face of adversity. I begin to feel a magical blue light twinkling in my heart, kindling a love of science,encouraging me to charge bravely into the unknown world.

　　結(jié)尾呼應(yīng)了開頭，闡述了作者為什么要去美國讀書：

　　I never forgot my adolescent idol, Maria Curie. As I re-read the book, another pa age leaped out: “She was now 24-an age when some of her great contemporaries were to be on the brink of major discoveries… Maria took the trainWarsaw to Paris, the intellectual Mecca.”
