美國本科獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金申請(qǐng)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(jiǎng)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(shì)，在現(xiàn)有基礎(chǔ)上加強(qiáng)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)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(jì)的申請(qǐng)者中脫穎而出。
合適長(zhǎng)度為600~800個(gè)英文單詞。必須緊扣所要申請(qǐng)的那個(gè)專業(yè)來寫，主線要明確，不要盲目地個(gè)性化。讓招生者知道你選擇該專業(yè)的明確和強(qiáng)烈的動(dòng)機(jī)，同時(shí)具備充分的條件完成該專業(yè)的學(xué)習(xí)。結(jié)構(gòu)簡(jiǎn)單，銜接緊密，主線明確，便于理解。許多申請(qǐng)人將簡(jiǎn)歷放在PS中，這會(huì)弱化了PS應(yīng)起的作用。語言表達(dá)一定要用地道的英語。

合理地闡述了申請(qǐng)者學(xué)習(xí)電子工程的動(dòng)機(jī)，學(xué)習(xí)動(dòng)機(jī)是評(píng)審委員非常看中的。同時(shí)，讀了這段文字，會(huì)使讀者沉浸在對(duì)童年往事的美好回憶里，借此打動(dòng)評(píng)審委員的心。
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.”
