以上就是美國名校申請essay寫作常見的六種題材，大家在寫作的時候根據自己的生活和學習經歷，選擇最適合自己發揮的來寫申請essay.

⑶ 美國大學申請essay書寫指南

現如今，很多學生選擇去美國讀大學，那麼文書材料的准備也很關鍵，其中有一項留學申請essay，想必大家還不是很了解。下面隨我一起來看看以下的內容。

首先來看看essay的書寫步驟。

1. 早作準備

這不是一般的家庭作業或學校項目，而有可能是你人生的轉折點。一份得體的essay能幫你進入著名學府並改變你的生活。

早做准備指的是，你需要在學校申請截止日前至少三個月開始寫essay。只有這樣你才有機會更改主題，修改essay，反復閱讀，讓別人進行評價和精心選擇每一個單詞。

對於那些申請了多家大學的學生，有些大學可能需要補充essay，這需要你花費大量的時間。此外，全世界很多高中高年級學生都會被各種壓力所壓垮，包括畢業考試，所以早早准備essay會讓你具備優勢。

2.多打幾次草稿，多嘗試幾個主題

大多數成功的申請人都是打好幾個草稿然後選出最喜歡的那份蔽伏和。這個道理相當於在從事一件工作時，例如一項新的體育項目，要求你投入大量練習時間，直到你進步到足以開始比賽。

寫essay同樣如此。對於大多數外國學生，這是他們第一次嚴肅地寫一篇文章，更別說用外語寫了。開頭幾個草稿將非常困難，你要堅持寫下去，直到你的essay完美無瑕。

記住，每份草稿不一定都要圍繞同一個主題。如果某個主題比較好的話，你可以圍繞它准備兩三份essay，或者必要時更換主題。

3.尋找一個你信賴的人校對每一份essay

這能讓你發現你的essay里可能的錯誤。強烈建議你找一個在英語寫作方面非常有經驗的人來幫你完成這項工作，並且—最重要的是—真心願意幫你的人。

校對者必須是對於申請過程了解十分深入的人，例如美國大學學生或者現役或前任大學招生官，或者是有多年英語寫作經驗的教育工作者。

一旦他們指出有些東西你需要修改，無論是關於essay的內容還是主題的，你需要立即修改或重寫。如果得到了他們的肯定，那麼你就可以提交了。

4. 閱讀成廳敏功的essay範例

這並不是鼓勵你直接把別人的點子拿過來。但是，閱讀成功申請人的essay可以讓你了解大學招生官需要的信息是什麼。

小A在開始她的個人陳述之前，為找不到能給招生官留下深刻印象的東西感動非常苦惱。當她通過谷歌讀到一些成功進入常春藤大學的學生寫的essay時–她了解到這些學生主要是基於非常簡單的個人趣事展示出了自己獨特的性格。

之後小A選擇了一個簡單而又意義的主題：照顧她卧病在床的父親。小A的essay非常感人，幾位招生負責人甚至手寫了回信表揚她並邀請她進入華盛頓與李大學。

5. 遵從故事的結構

作為作者，你要記住，高質量的essay建立在一般性的故事結構上，諸如情節的發展、高潮和結局。

大學申請essay當然不需要像動作電影那樣，但也必須使讀者經歷好奇、驚嘆和滿足三個階段。此外，還需要保證讀者被牢牢吸引而不被一些不重要的細節或繁冗內容分心。

最好的辦法是，把可能讓整個故事顯得混沌的句子或場景去掉。記住，每個招生官都要看海量的essay，所以你的故事如果引人入勝，那你就能脫穎而出。

接著來看看書寫技巧都有哪些。

言簡意賅，避免啰啰嗦嗦。

每一個句子都應該精簡到只保留它的基本部分。任何冗餘或者不能增加新意的詞語都應該刪除。當你把文章精簡並刪掉不必要的詞和短語時，文章的質量就得到了提高。要知道，招生委員會在審核期間，要短時間內面對宏盯那麼多essay，他是沒有時間來看啰啰嗦嗦，沒有主次的文章的。

表述要精確。

任何時候都要盡可能詳盡而又具體。細節能讓你的作品更具真實性。對於要表述的內容，想要表達的思想要精確的表達出來，感染到讀者，讓讀者信服，從而體現文章的真實性。

主題要明確。

申請的時候，學校給出的essay題目都是有很強的針對性的，所以，在撰寫essay之前一定要想清楚這個題目的隱含意義，了解學校想通過這篇文章考察你什麼。然後在動筆，這樣寫出來的文章才有針對性，而不會偏離目標。有的時候題目顯得很簡單，但是事實上這類題目是最不好寫的，因為簡單的一句話讓人很難摸清楚他們的出題思路和意圖，對這類的題目反而要更加註意。

各篇essay之間要相輔相成。

一般來講，每所學校會要求3-5篇essay，每篇essay考察的目的是不同的，因此，在動筆之前要想好寫作的思路和結構。在一篇文章中已體現的重點就不要在另一篇文章中出現，否則幾篇文章寫下來卻只反映了一個特點，很多優勢沒有展示出來，這樣，錄取委員會就不會看到一個完整優異的你，從而不能決定是否錄取你。

保持同一風格和語調。

在開始動筆之前，你就要決定好採用怎樣的風格和語調，並在整篇短文中一以貫之。如果你在短文開頭部分的語調是輕松和幽默的，就不要突然在短文中間轉變為憂郁或者嚴厲的語調。如果你打算把自己的短文寫成是個人日記風格的，就不要突然開始向局外的讀者吹噓自己。

多修改。

無論是本科還是商學院對essay一般都有字數上的限制，如此多的內容要歸納到那麼少的文字中，如何能把每句話都說到點子上，讓每個字都發揮其作用還是有一定難度的。當一篇文章寫好之後，一定要回頭仔細閱讀，認真推敲每個句子，同時也可以給自己的朋友和家人看，讓他們也多提提意見。一篇好的文章是需要反復多次修改才能「完美」呈現出來的。

最後給大家帶來一篇範文賞析。

Cornell—Pose a question that you wish that we had asked you and answer it. Heather posed the question： Tell about an activity that is particularly meaningful to you.

Yale—Please write an essay about an activity or interest that has been particularly meaningful to you.

Early on a June afternoon， I stood in the arena at Willows Farm. I was about to take my very first horse-riding lesson. I was excited， yet incredibly fearful at the same time. I&apos&aposd never actually ridden a horse by myself. Being led around on one of ponies at the fair didn&apos&apost count. I tried talking to myself. ＂What did/have to fear？ After all， it certainly looked easy.＂ I waited white one of the older girls finished in the arena. I&apos&aposd never seen such a big horse， and each time as they went around， the horse looked bigger and bigger.

When my lesson was finally ready to start， Aggie， my teacher， brought out a small pony named Kissy. She was so cute and little， I breathed a sigh of reli. I was convinced that I could handle the situation. ＂No problem，＂ I thought， ＂I&apos&aposll be off to the races in no time.＂

That lesson began with the basics. First I had to learn to put on the bridle and saddle. Then I had to learn to get on and off. That proved to be a challenge， but by the time the lesson finished， I was allowed to ＂ride＂ Kissy by walking around in a circle a few times. Sitting there looking down， I knew I was As John Irving once said， ＂There is something in bestriding a fine horse that makes a man （or woman） feel more than mortal＂.

Little did my parents know that one lesson would turn into an obsession. I spent all day out at the bam. I&apos&aposd probably have stayed the night if my parents had allowed it. I did everything that I could do to learn - I cleaned stalls， walked horses， brushed horses， and fed some twice just to spend a few extra minutes out there. Over the next two years I attended local horse camps and watched others to see if they knew something that I could apply to my riding.

Eventually，I outgrew Kissy and my first trainer. The next step was to move up with the more advanced riders and to Sherry， the next trainer at the barn. Most of the more advanced

：rs owned their own horses. Switching trainers was the easy part. Convincing my parents buy me a horse proved to be slightly more difficult.

Aggie talked to them and told them how much I wanted a horse. Sherry talked to them， and told them how much I needed a horse. Nothing seemed to work. Over the dinner table， the conversation kept coming back to how much money was involved in buying and keeping a horse， but I didn&apos&apost give up. I kept asking. ＂A horse＂ was first on my Christmas list， first on my birthday list， and everything in between.

In the spring， a cute little quarter horse named Cat came into the barn. He was there to be sold， hopully to someone in the barn. He was a good mover and seemed to have a sweet personality. The first time I saw him. I bonded. I had to have this horse. There was just one small problem， my parents were still saying no. Aggie seemed to want me to have a horse as much as I wanted it. She even offered to cut my parents a deal on the board. Every time my mother came to pick me up. I was brushing， walking， or doing something for Cal. I&apos&aposd ask her to hold and talk to him for a few minutes while I got ＂something ready＂ bore I put him away. I could feel my mother melting. Finally one evening I heard the wonderful words. My parents agreed to purchase Cal. I had my very own horse. I was thrilled， and went to work with a brush and comb to make him look as good as he made me feel.

As much as I thought differently， I wasn&apos&apost quite prepared for the enormous responsibility of actually owning a horse. There was feeding， grooming， daily exercise， and stall cleaning to worry about. Becoming a good hunter-jumper meant spending long hours out at the barn. Getting good grades in school meant putting in long hours for homework. I had to learn to balance both. To get it all done， it was mandatory that I become organized and learn to focus on what I was doing in order to make the most of my time spent.

Riding has also presented a means of learning other valuable lessons. Foremost has been accepting responsibility. Owning Cal has meant that I&apos&aposve had the care of a living， breathing animal that depended on me. I couldn&apos&apost take a day off， even if I felt that I had something better to do. Dedication to the sport of riding has also been a learned skill. After the hardest fall or a bad day when nothing seemed to go right， I sometimes wanted to quit right on the spot. That was when I had to get myself back on track and do it again until I got it right. Those same lessons have carried over to school. If I&apos&aposve gotten less than u perfect grade on something or have found something difficult to understand. I&apos&aposve learned that I can&apos&apost just throw in the towel or blame it on the teacher. My ecation has become my responsibility， and I have had to go back and try twice as hard to prove to myself that I can do if.

In my ten years of riding and competing， I have never grown tired of it. I still have my little horse. We have competed and won at many horse shows， and we&apos&aposve grown to love and trust each other. My trainer often rerred to him as my best friend， and I&apos&aposve come to think of him that way too. Sometimes it is fun to lie in bed at night and look at the ribbons hanging on my wall. I know that every day that passes now brings me closer to the ＂someday＂ when it will come to an end. When it does，I will have the memories of the great times I&apos&aposve had and the lessons that I&apos&aposve learned， but most of all. I will have the memory of a little horse with a big heart named Cal.

⑷ 美國留學ESSAY範文賞析

美國大學申請液仔蘆ESSAY是許多申請者最關心的的問題，美國大學申請ESSAY給申請者留下的想像空間非常寬泛，戚歲但是由於中國學生在小學時期延續的寫作習慣，越是寬泛的題材越是不好把握，和我一起來看看美國留學ESSAY範文賞析吧。

美國大學ESSAY範文：

A Boy』s Firsts

The boy is such a common boy. He is so common that only acquaintedfriends can notice him among the crowd； he is so common that he does not changehis girlfriend one time per month， just as those playboys do； and he is socommon that his daily life is no more special than those who listen to rock n』roll， bet for soccer games and seldom clean their rooms.

However， the boy is somewhat special.

鬧帶He usually thinks that， his experience and personal achievements，along with his own happiness and grievances， are enough for him to be unique，though he does not have a face as good-looking as Brad Pitt or Keanu Reeves， orwhoever.

First Award

It was such a surprising gift for a 12-year-old boy to know that hehad won the first prize in the national mathematics competition. The boyclutched the certification and laughed like a sun-flower blooming in a springmorning. He had spent three months preparing for that competition and hadlost5kgweight but he was very happy， as happy as you could imagine. Enjoyingthe pace of enterprising， he began to believe 「No pain no gain」 that afternoon.

First Setback

Huddling up in the quilt crying， the boy was introspecting himself.For his haughtiness after achieving the second prize in the National PhysicsCompetition， he deserved the rank of last 5% in the final examination of7thgrade. Wiping up the tears， he set himself a promise of being humble andsober. The boy kept the promise and became a young man of great maturity.

First cooking

「Quite a tough work.」 The boy said to himself， smearing soap on a blister caused by theburning oil. But a small blister never could stop him from doing his 「cookingresearch」. The boy stood in front of the gas-stove again， holding apancaketurner in his left hand， he was trying to find out the correct time of addingsalt and the appropriate amount of other flavorings. After so many failures， hefelt that it was not a simple task of cooking out palatable meals， nut achallenge of surpassing himself. When the boy finally finished working one anda half hours later， he put a sweet smile on his dirty face. The boy wrote inhis diary， 「keep working and you』ll win.」

First Love

At the age of 16， the boy fell in love with a smart girl. Eatingice-cream with the girl in the ice-cream bar at the street， walking on theboulevard hand in hand， cycling her home and kissing goodbye， he regarded loveas the holy thing in his life. Thus， the boy demonstrates a love from heart； hecares everyone nearby and wants them to be beatific with their families. Aspeople say， an angelic soul.

First Job

The extremely hot summer holiday of 16， the boy was excited when hegot a job at the local train station as a ticket-taker. First working day， theboy got up so early that when he arrived at the station， the previousticket-taker was still on his work， in astonishment of the boy』s appearance.But the ticket-taker did not know that， the boy was just so eager as to get onthe job to show that he had grown up.

Soon a common college student will he be. A common one that will beassious in class and passionate in the basketball court； that will make everyeffort to run for the Chairman of the Student Union but may still face failure；that is no more special than those who spend half a day in libraries and forgetto go to dinner when do researches in labs. But somehow he will be a uniquecollege student， because he will have his own way of fulfilling his dreams.

And as you may know， the boy is me.

以上就是一篇標準的美國ESSAY範文，看懂這篇美國大學申請ESSAY的文章寫作套路了嗎？

一、標題：

也許，這個標題不算非常特別，但是它引人注目，一個男孩的第一次，可能我們想到更多的是一些「第一次」，聯想到我們自己的「第一次」，興趣自然就產生了！

二、結構：

結合了「第一次」的標題核心，下面分別以男孩生活、學習及工作中的各個第一次進行闡述，涉及的面比較全，包括感情，給人的感覺非常豐富且完整。

三、措詞：

措詞比較灑脫，拖泥帶水，既看出一個青年人的活力，又從每個「一次」中發現這個BOY其實不是一般的BOY，他有著一種思想叫做執著與專一！

四、思路：

學習——生活——感情——工作，這看起來更像一個循環，從學習到工作，中間穿插著我們的日常生活和感情生活，這就是一個完整的人，一個完整的體現！

這是一篇非常有創意的essay範文，美國大學申請ESSAY的寫作思維要開闊，要創新，但是在實際寫作中，我們中國的很多學生卻是以過往的過眼雲煙式的表面化寫作居多，A Boy』s Firsts這篇ESSAY我們就看不到那些虛華的痕跡，這值得我們借鑒。

美國大學申請ESSAY寫作思路大致上就以上文中我提到的套路來寫，上文中的美國大學ESSAY範文是一篇非常有創意的文章，關於美國ESSAY範文我今天就為大家介紹到這里。

⑸ 美國留學Essay申請英文範文

美國芝加哥凱信判大學歷年來是留學申請競爭最激烈的美國大學之一。芝加哥大學申請Essay怎麼寫?下面我坦慧為大家提供一個範本，以供參考。 University of Chicago芝加哥大學Essay範文 "Beyond Dictionary Definitions of leadership"

作者 Victoria Tomaka

"All I know about leadership I learned from . . ." What items could a person use to describe leadership qualities?

盯改Inspired by the student council advisors at my high school.

Student council was a big part of my life in high school. I have participated in it since my frst year of high school. When I frst joined, I was quiet, na?ve, and unwilling to participate in many activities. I was scared to meet new people and afraid to apply myself. This all began to change. Half way through my frst year in student council, one of the advisors can up to me and asked why I did not participate that much. I did not have an answer for her and did not know how to respond. After this, I began to think of an answer. I became frustrated and decided to change. I started to show up at events and had a great time. I realized I loved this and wanted to start leading these activities. In my sophomore, junior, and now my senior year of high school, I asserted myself and took on a strong leadership role in student council. I did not fgure out the answer to why I was so reserved until this year with the help of this question.

When I looked up leadership in the dictionary, it said that it was the capacity to lead and the act or instance of leading. These are two very broad defnitions of leadership. Many people have different notions of what this word actually means. When I was challenged to use different items to describe what leadership actually is, I thought this was going to be a hard and obnoxious task. What could I learn from comparing leadership to a stuffed animal or a rubber chicken? But when I sat down to come up with a couple of answers, I realized that leadership could be compared to almost anything a person wants.

All I know about leadership I learned from a calculator. A calculator can add everything together to come up with the best answer. It can delet e what is unnecessary and only include what is important. It can solve any type of problem. These are all important equalities a leader has to have. A leader has to be able to add all of the ideas together to make the best possible plan. Leaders have to know how to decipher the good and the bad out of an idea. They have to be versatile and know how to deal with different types of issues.

All I know about leadership I learned from a ball. A ball is able to bounce back up after it is dropped. It is round and has no creases. A ball can be thrown back and forth to different people. All of these qualities are also leadership qualities. A leader has to be ready for every situation that is thrown at him or her. He or she has to be able to bounce back from any setbacks and never dwell on the past. Leaders have to exhibit many qualities and never be closed-minded about a situation. A leader must be able to delegate when he or she cannot get the work done. They have to trust everyone they lead to be able to "catch the ball" and keep a project rolling.

This activity made me realize that being a leader is so much more than just having authority and having the ability to take control of a situation. A leader has to be trusting of all the people he or she leads and, leaders must be able to combine ideas into one encompassing idea. They cannot sit in the background and watch events happen; they have to jump in and be involved. They should not delegate all their responsibilities away.

Leadership is more than what the dictionary says it is.

I learned through all of this that I have many of these qualities.

I have the ability to solve problems, lead through adversity, and be versatile. From answering this question, I realized that I could lead effectively, even if my leadership style is different from other indivials. When I joined student council in my frst year of high school, I did not have these qualities because I was never put into a situation where I had to lead. I was too reserved to try. When I tried, I learned that I could succeed in this. I did not realize until I answered this question about leadership. I was never able to see that being a leader is not just about taking control of a group and telling everyone what to do.www.liuxue.la When I was a freshman, I thought leadership was this. I did not know that did not have to be forceful and strict. I stereotyped a leader then. Thisis where I went wrong. A leader is about being yourself and never letting anyone change you. I thought I had to change to be a good leaderOnly when I expanded my comfort zone did I realize this was not trueIt only took three years and a silly question/game to fgure this out.
