第一篇:2018年申请美国留学essay怎么写
2018年申请美国留学essay怎么写?
对于18年申请季的同学来说,目前已经进入申请准备的繁忙时期。
一方面是接下来的实习会占用比较多的时间,一边是GT的复习也进入紧张的阶段,同时文书的制作也进入了高峰期。
既然我们花了这么宝贵的时间去实习,我们希望看到的结果不仅仅是一封实习推荐信,而是在专业认识和职业规划上有一个质的飞跃。我将会从美国MSF学校的ESSAY题目出发,告诉大家,如何在实习中怎样思考才能有事半功倍之效?
1.实习的任务——仅仅是推荐信吗?
毫不客气地讲,很多学生对于实习的认识可能存在一定程度上的偏差。有些认为,实习就是过过场,无非就是让自己的简历上有更多的内容。有些认为,实习无非就是为了找一个推荐人,从而完成自己的实习推荐信。那么,实习又应该是怎样的呢?也仅仅是为了推荐信的完成或者简历的完善吗?
还是让我们从学校的申请要求说起吧。既然学校要求申请人具备一定的实习经历,绝对有其更深层次的原因。其ESSAY的题目就非常好的揭示了这一点。与其说学校青睐你有一段银行的实习,不如说是你在实习中的收获,这包括学术上的进步以及个人职业规划、道德修养等方面的提升。
因此,在实习过程中你要完成的决不仅仅是一份实习推荐信,而是联系和验证课本的专业知识,培养和提高自己的沟通和领导能力,制定和深化自己在金融行业的职业规划,提升个人的职业道德修养。
2.我们为什么需要ESSAY——仅仅是学校要求吗?
美国开设MSF的学校基本都会要求申请者提交若干篇ESSAY,这对于申请者来说既是机会,又是挑战。一方面,它为申请者提供了多角度展现自己的机会,从而为自己的申请实力锦上添花或者为自己不足的硬件雪中送炭。另一方面,由于ESSAY有主题和字数上的要求,它又对申请者的思维角度和写作能力提出了较高的要求。因此,我们要抓住这个机会,精心制作出个性化的ESSAY,提高自己的申请竞争力。
Note:ESSAY并不是每个学校都要求提供的,部分学校只需要申请者提交一篇PS,比如普林斯顿和哥伦比亚大学等。但是,PS在本质上可以说ESSAY的有机结合。
看到这里,大家也许会产生这样的疑问:那么ESSAY不就是完成学校的申请要求吗?答案是否定的。ESSAY不仅仅是学校的申请文书,而应该是贯穿整个申请过程,甚至包括之后的人生道路的思考问题。往小处讲,它是你接下来实习过程中要深入思考和细心发现的对象,往大处说,它可以作为你思考职业等人生大事的切入点。
好的,接下来我将会揭开ESSAY的神秘面纱,为大家列举具体的ESSAY题目。
3.ESSAY题目一览表
虽然每个学校的ESSAY题目各有不同,但是透过这些问题的形式,可以发现其实质基本是一致的。在整理了众多的ESSAY题目之后,我对它们做了以下的分类:
ESSAY本质 职业规划类
具体的问题形式 你的职业目标是什么? 个人特性类
你可以给学校带来什么贡献?你希望学校给你什么帮
助?
你有什么样的团队领导能力或者技能?
你有什么样的重大成就?
你有什么失败的经验,总结了什么教训?
申请动机类 你为什么选择这个专业?
道德修养类
你的软硬件背景怎样?
什么原因驱使你要出国读硕士?
你遇见过怎么样的道德困境,你从中学到了什
么?
从表中可以看出,ESSAY主要可以分为四大类,当然还有个别学校会有更加个性化的ESSAY题目,到时我们再具体问题具体分析。由于本文主要是结合ESSAY的写作,帮助大家更好地实习,因此我会选择其中与实习紧密联系的ESSAY,分析他们的具体的写作思路,从而让大家在实习过程中的思考更加系统化和有针对性。
4.结合ESSAY的写作思路,让实习的价值最大化
个人特性篇
对应的ESSAY题目1:你的软件背景是什么?
思路:理论到实践→进一步证明学术能力。
成绩和研究是学术能力的有利证明,那么实习更是这种学术能力的进一步体现。由于实习时间或者公司的职位所限,很多实习生一般只能够承担一些基础性的工作,那么,思考和用心就变得非常重要了!别人没有给你机会接触一些专业性的工作,没关系,你可以多向同事请教或者主动提出帮助他们承担一些工作,这样自然能够为自己创造一些学习和进步的机会。这样对于诠释你的软件背景方面便有了非常丰富的素材。
对应的ESSAY题目2: 你有什么样的重大成就?
思路:那么如何在实习中突出自己的学术能力→优异的工作表现
当然,重大成就并一定指在实习中所取得的,在学校的学术或者活动比赛方面同样可以,但是我们不妨以这个ESSAY为出发点,激励自己在实习过程中多抓住一切可能的机会,争取能够在实习中取得突出成就,从而成为文书素材的可选材料。
具体到银行的实习,根据部门的不同,可能取得的成就也不一样。例如:参加一个融资或者贷款审批项目,开拓了多少贷款的客户,完成了多少额度。在承担这些任务时,必然会遇到种种问题,而这些问题也正是为了最后突出所取得成就意义之大。
对应的ESSAY题目3:你有什么样的团队领导能力或者技能?
思路:商学院的任务在于培养未来的领导人→我是理想人选
与上面的题目一样,这道题所涉及的并一定是实习。但是实习中所参加的项目往往能够成为出彩的素材,特别是这个项目本身的含金量和最终成果比较大的话。因此,如果你在实习中有机会参加一个项目活动,你应该争取成为队长,这样对于你的领导能力的培养有非常大的作用。
如果不是队长,也不要紧,可以留心队长的工作职责以及这个职位所遇到的困难和阻碍,比如当队员挑战你的威信或者队员之间的沟通出现问题时,你的队长是如何解决的?而如果你是队长,你又将如何解决?
职业规划篇
对应的ESSAY题目:你的职业目标是什么?
思路:亲身体会金融职场→使你的职业规划更加明确化
职业目标是非常常见的ESSAY题目,这也非常好理解,每个学校都希望自己招收到的学生是有非常明确的职业规划的人,没有远大理想和明确规划的申请者必然遭到淘汰。因此,在写作这种ESSAY的时候要注意两点:一为明确,二为理性。
首先我们的职业目标一定要非常明确,不能是模棱两可的。很多学生申请金融的原因无非是进入金融行业工作,金融行业包罗万象,那么,你想进入什么样的机构承担什么岗位?就算是金融机构中的银行,也有不同类型的银行,而岗位方面也是各有特色。
那么我们不妨把目标具体到某一个特定的金融机构,比如大家熟悉的投行,其中的某一个岗位,比如analyst。那么我们如何去确定自己的职业目标呢?实习!只有切身的体会和经历,才能让你的职业目标更加明确。
这也就是你在实习中要下的功夫!通过观察和熟悉银行的工作业务和流程,去挖掘出你真正的需求,从而向学校展示出你的这个需求(即职业目标),而这个学校正好可以满足你的这个需求。
此外,职业目标还需要遵循另外一个原则便是理性。你不可能一毕业就成为某个公司的CEO,中间肯定需要多年的积淀。这就涉及到一个问题:职业目标需要分阶段,也即我们常说的长短期职业目标。长期目标可以远大些,可以是CEO,CFO,这些都没有问题。但是短期目标一定要是切实可行的。比如上文中提到的,投行的analyst,这样的职业目标是你在毕业之后通过努力可以达到的。
因此,申请人不应该仅仅是把自己的职业目标定为投身于投行或者其它比较笼统的目标,学校只会认为这样的学生本身对于专业和职业都没有清晰的认识。
申请动机篇
对应的ESSAY题目:什么原因驱使你要出国读MSF硕士?
思路:实习认识到自身的不足→进一步弥补,实现更大的理想
首先必须说明的就是,申请动机往往是与职业规划紧密联系在一起的。因此在这种ESSAY中往往也会涉及个人的职业规划问题。
另外,这个问题涉及的不仅仅是实习,还有在校期间的学习生活。那么,具体到实习中,是什么样的原因驱使你要出国读MSF硕士呢?这个问题可以拆分成两个小问题:为什么出国攻读硕士?为什么攻读MSF?那么在你眼里,你出国攻读硕士的原因又是什么呢?是因为先进的教育制度,还是渴望在一个陌生的环境中培养自己的跨文化沟通能力和适应能力呢?这并没有标准答案,你可以多挖掘出自己内心的想法,从而更加突出ESSAY的个性化。
另外,你为什么要选择MSF这个专业呢?这是因为在你实习过程中发现自己的本科知识无法支持你在职业发展中走得更远,还是因为在实习中你接触到的人和理论,从而产生了对于美国MSF教育的向往?这些都可以成为ESSAY的切入点,也是你在实习中要留心的。而再结合上文中提到的职业规划问题,思考前往美国攻读MSF的深层次的原因。
道德修养篇
对应的ESSAY题目:你遇见过怎么样的道德困境,你从中学到了什么?
思路:两难选择的境地→个人的价值取向和修养
这个也是美国商学院比较常见的ESSAY题目,主要是考察学生的道德修养问题。所谓道德困境(ethical dilemma),指的是一个两难选择的境地,无论是选择A或者B都会有遗憾的地方。而正是走出这样一个困境的过程中,可以反映出你内心深处,或者说性格上的一些特性,比如对于他人的关怀,或者价值的取向等等。在你实习过程中你可能也会或多或少的遇到道德困境,比如做假账这些问题,那么在这些涉及你的切身利益的问题上,你个人的价值取向就非常重要了。
而如何完美地解决这些,正是这类ESSAY足以出彩的地方。在写作这类ESSAY时,心理过程是非常重要的,其意义甚至超过了最终的结果。因为这是一个窥见最真实的申请者的机会。比如在发现同事存在弄虚作假现象的时候,你是直接向上司报告,还是睁一只眼闭一只眼呢?你是如何判定这中间的价值的呢?而这个选择的过程,正是你的个人品质等方面的体现。
除了上述的四类ESSAY,不同学校还会要求学生提供一些更加个性化的ESSAY,这些无法在本文中一一体现。之后在写作具体学校的ESSAY时再和你交流。而这四类ESSAY的思考过程也足以提升实习质量了。所以同学们在实习过程中要定期写写实习的心得和总结,这样更有利于将来逐步完成申请ESSAY的写作。

第三篇:留学申请ESSAY写作
Greentoxic-essay-1
I used to be immune from literature reading.I didn’t care that the boy falling into blind love in Fitzgerald’s story was called Gatsby or Bill Gates, nor I hardly knew anything about sonnet except that there were 14 rows in it.In spite that both my parents were trying to foster me to be a daughter of a cultured family with a grandfather who was addicted to literature, I used to believe that I wouldn’t be influenced by those massive words in fat books.My grandfather is a professor of literature.When I was a little girl, I often saw him sitting in his room, hugging over books as if he was hungering for words.His face, often displayed the emotions he read.Lots times he was so immersed in his own world of words and stories and he could not hear me calling him.And sometimes, it seemed that he was talking with the people and even lived with the people in the books instead of us.It was kind of scary for me.But one thing changed my mind about him or reading.I encountered a group of his students visiting him, and they talked a lot while I listened.My grandfather talked about a period when he had experienced extreme prosecution of intellectual freedom.When he said that literature should serve all mankind with humanistic care, his eyes was brimming with tears.It was the first time that I saw my grandfather’s tears.I indeed couldn’t understand and accept all my grandfather’s views.However, he
opened a door for me that day, that he showed me other things literature might bring, except pleasure.Yes, like many young teen girls, I used to be crazy about adolescence love stories published in magazines.But gradually, I did find that almost all the plots of those stories were similar.I started to wonder, what was in real great writings.I turned to my grandfather for help.He told me that eyes were the windows of soul,and so were the books.When we read them, we were reading the authors’ hearts, and re-understood ourselves.I soon started books with my grandfather’s guide.Portia in The Merchant of Venice made me want to be a woman with wisdom, courage and independent personality;the honest and independent heroine Elinor in Sense and Sensibility made my tears exhausted.Also, many Chinese classical works improved my knowledge of my own history and culture and I started to understand my own country and people better.I kept reading.After I reached high school, my grandfather encouraged me to establish a Reading Community, in which my schoolmates exchanged books and thoughts after reading, and I began to write editorial articles of book reviews for our school newspaper.I still cannot share the profound understanding of literary works as my grandfather does, but I believe what he said to his students and me: When you feel lonely, helpless or hopeless, just read.Books don’t cheat you, they won’t betray you, and they will never hurt you.They can give
you knowledge, courage, hope and power.I want to continue reading in my future, and literature is what I would like to study for my major.
第四篇:美国高中申请essay是什么
美国高中申请essay是什么
美国高中申请essay是什么?
美国高中申请essay被称为话题作文或论文,也可以看作是说明文。在申请高中时,都要写essay。
美国高中申请essay有什么作用?
essay在所有的申请资料中是最可以展现申请人的思维方式、性格特点的载体。同时essay也可以充分证明申请人驾驭英语的能力。由于是要求在规定字数内表达观点或是描述特定的事宜,因此essay不仅要言之有物,还要字字属实。
美国高中申请essay如何写?
申请人可以用讲故事的方式来写essay。有许多人在描述自身故事时会夸大自己的品质,让其他人感觉自己很优秀,或者写作思路一直沿着自我认为会打动人的角度展开。其实在写作时,夸大自身或过于自我都是错误的,你一定要深入思考自己写的是发生在自我身上的事情,并真实展示对自我的影响。品质不是自已说出来的,而是通过细节展示出来的。
另外,essay需要自我检视和修改润色。essay完成后,放在一边过几天后再次检查自己的作文,写的有趣吗?思路清楚吗?有没有充分展示自我等等。“好的文章不是写出来的,而是改出来的。” 许多有名作家都这样说。所以,一篇好的essay不仅需要你有好的创意和独特的见解,更需要你经过多次的修改和提炼,而一篇出彩的essay就是让你在申请中出奇制胜的法宝。

An example of personal essay:
First of all, it is necessary to know that when I was a child, I was treated as a king-child because I lived alone with my mother almost all my young life and because she was weak with me.I thus have to admit shamefully that I took most advantages possible and that I made a lot of whims.I obtained almost everything that I wished.I was really requiring and tyrannical with my mother but, believe me, I am not proud of it.Another facet of my personality consists in the fact that I am strongly determined.I have set the most ambitious goals and I am convinced that I’ll succeed.I’ll make all which will be in my power to reach my purposes.In order to give you an idea of my objectives I would say:
“I want to become very rich, famous, well-known in the media and reach the highest spheres of the society.”
It can seem paradoxical, nevertheless I am shy and I have a lack of self-confidence.I think that it began when I was between 10 and 14 years and as I was obese.For this reason, most of the guys laughed at me and annoyed me.I was the big little boy that nobody liked.But now that I grew and that I changed a lot, as you can see it, I try to cure my shyness and to open out myself.This period was the worst of my life, that’s why I think school didn’t prepare me well for adult’s life.In conclusion, I would say that they are not the only aspects of my personality.So now, I have said enough, it is your turn to discover who I am, if you want to.
