Short Answer

Please select three of the following five prompts and provide a response of approximately 150 words to each.Your responses will be read by Notre Dame admissions counselors as we seek to learn more about you.We encourage you to use personal examples, anecdotes, or anything that helps differentiate you from your peers.1.Undergraduates at Notre Dame have the opportunity to engage in original research where they strive to make a professional contribution in their field.A typical summer grant of $5,000 enables students to pursue their passions in a full range of disciplines: from the arts, humanities and architecture to science, engineering and business.If you were given a $5,000 grant to study a topic, what would you choose to research and why?

Doing a research on Iphone4's successful marketing in China must be interesting.The Apple Company has been looking for innovative ways to meet new and existing consumer’s needs.The model before Iphone4 did not sell well in China.However, Iphone4 has achieved a great increase in consumer demand.I can see Iphone4 everywhere in China.It was even sold out immediately after it appeared in the on-line Apple store.There must be some secrets of the new selling model of Iphone4.I would spend the grant to find the answer.2.Notre Dame’s mission statement emphasizes an education should “create a sense of human solidarity and concern for the common good that will bear fruit as learning becomes service to justice." Describe an experience that engaged you both intellectually and morally.I had an experience ofbeing a volunteer in a library for two months.I felt proud of myselfdoing the job.I looked for books for readers, and helped the librarians with their work.It was just different to be avolunteer from a reader in the library, for serving the public made me happier and trained me to be more polite.3.Many people form a list of once-in-a-lifetime activities to accomplish.For example, individuals on the admissions staff hope to visit all the national parks, publish a fiction novel or waddle with penguins in Antarctica.What are a few of the items on your list?

I'm interested in many things.Ifthere were some once-in-a-lifetime activities to accomplish, then building a band would be the first choice on my list.I love music and playing the piano.It would be gorgeous to work with several friends sharing the same ambition and dream.The second thing may be travelling abroad.I believe that travelling is a way and part of learning.It would be even moreamazing to have experience living and studying in a different country, even only once, in my lifetime.4.You have 150 words.Take a risk.The willingness to take a risk demonstrates a positive attitude to life.Whatever the result is, the process and mood in taking a risk are more attractive.When I was traveling in Thailand with my parents at the age of five, I decided to take a flight in a special fire balloon linked by a rope to a speedboat.The tour guide said I was the youngest one ever to take that flight.Without any fear or hesitation, I flew into the intoxicating sky.The boat fast moving, the sea breeze swaying, and the golden sunshine setting off the greenish orchid sea constituted a view like paradise.The flying experience was glorious and I was totally immersed in that exciting delight.Growing up, I now understand that only by taking a risk can I see what other people cannot see and enjoy what they cannot enjoy.5.Why are you interested in attending the University of Notre Dame?

The University of Notre Dame first came into my mind when I saw the movie Rudy in my middle school.The fascinating view of the Notre Dame campus and the combatant spirit of the football team were so appealing to me that I decided at once to plan to pursue my academic enthusiasm in this university.The fairy tale about Rudy, the ocean of knowledge and courage it has, the Mendoza College of Business with its traditions and teaching of values and morals, all attract me..I am particularly interested in the business school and I am going to apply to it.As is well known, the lack of moral sense and principles of food producers in China has resulted in food poisoning and the loss of trust from the public.I hope, through my own efforts, I can convert some businessmen’s moral values and thus do something to help the Chinese people.

I wake up every morning to its rich scent.My parents cannot start the day with out it.I often wait in line and pay $3.85 to buy it.The senior lodge at my school is littered with empty Starbucks cups containing only the remnants of skim lattes, , and mocha frapuccinos.Coffee is a staple of American life that many take for granted, but few take the time to think about how they get it.In the rural village of Cadillo in the Dominican Republic, the people’s livelihood depends on coffee.Rows of green coffee plants line steep hills and scatter the countryside.The people there pick and sell the coffee beans but receive little profit for their hard work.During the week I spent in Cadilloplaying , I witnessed the poverty these coffee farmers endure.Their homes are small and dark, furnished with only a few wooden chairs, a table and a few beds.There is no lawyers and electricity in Cadillo and I especially remember the emptiness of the village at night, when I could only vaguely see the faces I illuminated with my flashlight.I can still see the shiny metal bowl in which they used to bathe, and Jose, a neighbor who was missing several teeth because like most people in Cadillo, he lacks a toothbrush and could not afford a.These images still burn in my mind, but it was the people of Cadillo more than anything who opened my eyes to the importance of social justice.Before I met them it was just a concept I heard about a few times a year at church when a missionary would come to speak about the poor people in Africa or South America and explain why it was our duty to help them.These people were far removed.A small fraction of my weekly allowance, once a year, and I could remove them from my mind.After living for a week with a family in Cadillo, however, I understood for the first time that it was real people leading these lives.The family I stayed with there took me in as part of their family and gave me a taste of their life.I remember my Dominican father, Barilla’s face as he played guitar and how he laughed kindly when I struggled to play the chords he had taught me.I could feel the warmth and sincerity of my Dominican mother, Marsela, when she sat and talked with me about my home and family after a long day of work.And I will always remember how much fun I had playing catch or blowing bubbles with their two children, Jendi and Andisco.I will not forget the images I saw or the people I encountered.They made me realize that my work does not end with the school I helped build, the holes I helped dig, or the roads I helped widen.They showed me that there are real, wonderful people being treated unjustly and that I cannot sit back and let that happen.I cannot be silent when I know that people are getting rich off the coffee Barilla receives so little for.It is my responsibility to be active, to teach what I have learned, to fight injustices in my community and the world.I am not sure if I will ever visit Cadillo again but I do know that I can continue what I started there.I can tell people what I saw and spread awareness about injustice in the world.I can volunteer in my own

community to help make changes at home and fundraise to aid third world countries.And tomorrow, after I wake up to the smell of fresh coffee, I can make a difference.啄木鸟教育编译：我每天早晨在它的浓郁的香气中醒来;没有它，我父母就没办法开始新一天的工作生活;我常常排着队，然后付上3.85美元买到它。我学校的高级旅馆里堆满了空的星巴克杯子，杯子里还有拿铁、摩卡的残留物。咖啡是美国人生活的一部分，许多人理所当然的享受着，很少有人花时间想过咖啡是怎么来的。

在多米尼加共和国有一个农村叫Cadillo，当地居民赖以生计的只有咖啡。一排排绿色的咖啡树长在陡峭的山坡上、围着村子分散开来。人们采摘咖啡豆，然后卖出，这样辛苦的劳作只换来微薄的收入。

我在Cadillo游玩过一个星期，我亲眼目睹了这些种植咖啡的农民们所忍受的贫困。他们的房子小、而且阴暗，里面的家具只有几张木头做的椅子、一张桌子及几张床。这里没有律师，没有电。我尤其记得Cadillo村里晚上的空寂，那些晚上，我只能通过我的手电筒微弱的光看到模糊的脸。我还记得他们洗漱用的磨得发亮的金属盆。Jose是我在村里住的那一家的邻居，他像Cadillo村许多人一样缺了几颗牙齿，他没有牙刷，因为买不起。

这些画面仍然在我的脑海里翻滚，但正是Cadillo村里的人比其他所有更让我见识到社会公平的重要性。在我遇到他们之前，“”社会公平”只是一个概念，每年在教堂里会听到几次，牧师会说非洲及南美的穷苦难民以及我们为什么有义务帮助他们。这些人离我这么遥远，尽管以前我会从每个星期的费用省下一点，每年把省下来的钱捐一次出去。然而，在我同Cadillo的人们生活了一个星期后，我才第一次理解到真有人是这样生活着。

我在Cadillo生活的那家人待我如亲人，让我体验了一番他们的生活是什么样子。我记得我的多米尼加爸爸Barilla。他弹吉他时的模样，他教我学乐器以及看我费劲拉弦时怎么温和地笑我。我能感受到我多米尼加妈妈Marsela的温暖和真诚，在她一天的长时间劳作之后，她坐下来和我唠家常，谈我的家乡、我的家人。我也将永远记得我和他们的两个孩子Jendi、Andisco追逐打闹吹泡泡的乐趣。

我永远不会忘记这些画面，不会忘记我遇到的人。是他们让我意识到我的责任不仅仅是帮助建设学校、挖洞种树和修宽道路。他们让我真实的看到这样一群善良的人受到不平等的对待，而我不能坐视不理。看到有人从咖啡获取暴利而我的多米尼加爸爸却得到很少，我无法沉默。我要积极主动、去教给别人我所学到的，去为我生活在的社区以及世界出现的不平等斗争，这是我的职责。

我不确定我以后是否还会去Cadillo，我能确定的是我会将从那里得到的继续下去。我会把我看到的告诉他人，让大家意识到这世界存在的不平等事实。我会在我生活的周边社区志愿服务，改变家乡，会为第三世界募捐。而当我明天闻着咖啡的香气中醒来，我知道我能为世界变美好做一点贡献

I guess it was inevitable that I’d be on hockey skates at some point in my life, but I did not expect that I’d become one of a rare group of female ice hockey officials before I even reached high school.Being born into a family of hockey players and figure skaters, it seemed that my destiny had already been decided.Right from the beginning, my two older brothers and my father strapped me up and threw me onto the ice.I loved it and, in my mind, I was on my way to becoming a female Gretzky!But my mom had to think of something fast to drag her little girl away from this sport of ruffians.Enter my first hot pink figure skating dress!That was all it took to launch fifteen years of competitive figure skating.Even though figure skating soon became my passion, I always had an unsatisfied yearning for ice hockey.It took a great deal of convincing from my parents that competitive figure skating and ice hockey didn’t mix.My compromise became refereeing ice hockey;little did I know that I was beginning an activity that would influence my character and who I am today.When I began, I would only work with my dad and brothers.Everyone was friendly and accepting because I had just started.I soon realized though that to get better I needed to start refereeing with people I wasn’t related to, and that’s when my experience drastically changed.An apologetic smile and an “I’m sorry” wasn’t going to get me through games now.As I began officiating higher-level games and dealing with more arrogant coaches, I suddenly entered a new male-dominated world, a world I had never experienced before.My confidence was shot, and all I wanted to do was get through each game and be able to leave.Sometimes I was even too scared to skate along the teams’ benches because I would get upset by what the coaches would yell to me.“Do you have a hot date tonight, ref?” was a typical comment that coaches would spit at me during the course of a game.In their eyes, I did not belong on that ice, and they were going to do whatever they could do to make sure no women wanted to officiate their games.I was determined not to let them chase me off the ice.I made the decision to stand up for myself.I never responded rudely to the coaches, but I did not let them walk all over me and destroy my confidence anymore.I started to act and feel more like the 4-year certified Atlantic District Official that I am.There were still a few situations that scared me.One time I called a penalty in a championship game during the third overtime and the team I penalized ended up losing because they got scored on.I knew I had made the right call, even though I was unnerved when I saw the losing teams’

parents waiting for me at my locker room;for the moment I wished I hadn’t called that penalty.Although it was scary at the time, I stood my ground and overcame my fears.That was an important stepping-stone in my officiating career and in my life.After four years of refereeing, I still can’t say it’s easy.Every game hands me something new and I never know what to expect.Now I have the confidence and preparation to deal with the unexpected, on and off the ice.I now also know to take everything with a grain of salt and not let it get to me.I have learned that life is just like being out on the ice;if I am prepared and act with confidence, I will be perceived as confident.These are the little lessons that I’m grateful to have learned as a woman referee.Things to Notice About This Essay

1.The author tells an interesting story about her experiences as a referee.2.A sense of her personality—determination, flexibility, good humor—comes through in the narration.3.Details like “Do you have a hot date tonight, ref?” make the narration memorable(we’d love to hear more of these kinds of details).4.The essay needs a faster start.The first paragraph(three sentences)says the same thing in both the first and third sentences—and gives away the essay’s surprise in the second!A good revision would delete all of paragraph one and start at paragraph two.5.There’s too much frame here and not enough picture.The essay needs further development, especially about the difficulties of becoming and being a ref, to keep it vivid.6.The author should “dwell” in the meaning of the experience a little more at the end—“I wonder about…I also think…Sometimes I believe….” Significant experiences like this one, woven through many years of the author’s life, don’t mean just one thing—there are more insights and lessons to explore here.

美国大学申请文书的5个写作技巧

每个学校都要求申请人写规定了主题的美国大学申请文书。有的学校只需提交一篇文章，有的更为谨慎，要求提交两篇，有的则要交三篇。

写美国大学申请文书的意义是帮助录取委员会通过课程、学业等级、考试分数以及其他客观数据以外的方面熟悉你。它也将证明你组织思想、语言表达的能力。这说明美国大学申请文书是重要的。那么美国大学申请文书到底意味着什么，应该怎样写?

为你总结名校申请经验，《谁说申请高手没有秘密》名师为你解开申请密码

上网参考：为了了解申请文章，你可以在美国的网站上寻找有关申请文章的内容。有些网站专门刊登免费的样文，都是申请成功者的杰作。

简洁明快：美国大学申请文章以简洁明快为好。申请文章都有字数限制，一般为250到500个词。500个词的文章，翻译成中文，也就千字左右。能用一个词的，不用两个词，能用短词的，不用长词，不要超长。

要有表现力：申请文章要具有表现力，把想表达的东西展现给别人，而不是告诉别人。对以英语为外语的申请人来说，最奏效的方法是多用动词，少用形容词和口头语。“动作”永远是最具有表现力的。

句式要多样：避免通篇使用短句，短句固然简洁清新，但用多了略显幼稚。中国学生不比美国学生，可以随意运用语言，没有人会认为美国学生不会使用长句。而中国学生使用复杂长句，更能体现其英语的成熟。

文章风格：文如其人，申请文章的风格应该充分体现自己自然的风格和写作手法。总之，成功的申请文章会把一个血肉丰满的人展现在阅读者的面前。这就是申请文章的意义所在。

第五篇：美国大学申请文书的留学个人陈述

立思辰留学360介绍，美国名校以优质的教育资源，吸引着众多的留学生。在美国留学申请中，留学申请文书的写作水平，堪称是决定美国留学申请结果的关键因素之一。

在专业成绩、语言成绩等硬件条件已经确定的情况下，优秀的留学申请文书能为你的美国大学申请提供巨大的帮助。专家提醒：进入美国名校，不但需要语言成绩、资金等“硬件条件”，还需要留学申请文书这样的“软件条件”。

关于美国留学申请文书，你了解多少？下面专家为你带来详细介绍：

美国留学申请文书的内容一般包括个人陈述、简历、推荐信和Essay。

美国留学申请文书中的留学个人陈述

留学个人陈述就是大家常说的留学PS，个人陈述是极其重要的美国留学申请材料之一。如何让个人陈述受到美国名校的青睐呢？专家建议你要做到以下几点：

1.美国留学申请文书写作要有切入点、主题以及中心；

2.留学文书开头有特色，结束有收尾性；

3.留学申请文书中，切莫画蛇添足，人云亦云，要写有个人特色的留学文书；

4.留学申请文书中不要有原则性的错误：例如美国大学名字错误、个人信息错误、或者明显有抄袭痕迹等；

5.留学申请文书写作中，切莫文章冗长却又言之无物。

美国留学申请文书中的个人简历

除了留学个人陈述之外，个人简历也是文书准备中不可缺少的一部分，个人简历要求美国留学申请者，在一页到两页的篇幅内，简单明了地展示个人情况、教育背景、实习经历、工作经历、获奖情况等信息，使录取委员会对申请者有一个直观了解。

个人简历作为一种自我宣传与自我推销的媒介，其作用也日益受到申请者的重视。如果申请者的个人简历，只是简单的罗列个人资料，或者随便堆砌一些内容，这样的个人简历是很难打动招生委员会的。如果申请者倾注精力创作出内容全面、重点突出的个人简历，那样给招生委员会的印象一定要好得多。成功申请美国常春藤名校耶鲁大学（Yale University）生物医学工程博士的任同学，其经历就值得借鉴，在申请过程中，美国留学网专业服务团队全程为他准备申请材料。在个人简历中着重介绍了他在学校参与科研项目，以及一些发表论文的实践经历。这份重点突出的高质量个人简历，为他成功申请耶鲁大学（Yale University）提供了有力的保障。

美国留学申请文书中的留学推荐信

www.xiexiebang.com 专业课老师或者班主任，商科学生还可以找自己的老板做推荐人。

美国留学申请文书中的Essay

准备留学推荐信时要注意推荐人的选择标准，最好选择那些与你有较多接触机会的推荐人，例如你的对于美国本科和MBA申请者来说，Essay是非常重要的申请材料。很多学校都会要求学生提交3-5篇不等的Essay，其中1-2篇是主Essay。在写作过程中切记不要照搬照抄别人的文章，要具备鲜明的个人特色。

一份出色的留学申请文书，是你成功申请美国名校不可缺少的材料。例如：成功申请哥伦比亚大学（Columbia University）EE专业硕士的吴同学。在吴同学的申请过程中，在Essay中，独具特色的展示了吴同学的学习经历，让吴同学从众多的申请者中脱颖而出，成功申请哥伦比亚大学（Columbia University）EE专业硕士。

互联网留学360介绍：结构清晰的留学个人陈述、重点突出的个人简历、准备得当的留学推荐信、个性鲜明的Essay这些共同构成了高质量的美国留学申请文书。这样一份高质量的留学申请文书，将会对你的美国留学申请产生巨大的帮助。
