Viewpoint 1: Writing too well is easy to be questioned.
First of all, it must be clear that during the application process of American universities, this college applies.
The most important purpose of essay is to let the Admissions Committee have a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of the applicant. Therefore, the content of this essay should not be a simple background introduction or academic performance of the applicant.
Instead of listing, we should pay attention to students' thinking, observation, reflection and what they have learned from their own experiences.
However, a common question is, when the applicant's TOEFL /SAT writing score is not high and the application essay submitted is too well written, will it make the Admissions Committee question it?
And then what? Many people have this kind of worry, especially after students find someone else to revise their papers, they will be even more uncertain, and students are often at a loss and don't know.
To what extent should the composition be written? It has even been suggested that if the TOEFL /SAT writing part is not good, you should deliberately lower your writing level when writing the application composition to increase the credibility of the content.
Make love.
When reading students' papers in foreign undergraduate admission committees, some students are admitted.
The staff will mark a symbol "DDI" on the students' materials, which means that dad made it.
It ... In other words, the Admissions Committee believes that this application material was written with the help of the child's father (or other adults). In this way, the credibility of its content is greatly reduced. So if
The score of TOEFL /SAT writing part is not high, so we should be careful in choosing words and making sentences in the writing process. Suppose that students find a master of English and American literature to ghostwrite, and his writing is superb, and sometimes the effect may be appropriate.
It backfired.
Viewpoint 2: Think seriously and give full play to it.
But on the other hand, don't worry too much. The writing part of TOEFL /SAT is completely different from the application essay of American undergraduate in content, subject matter and common structure. Most of the time,
There is no comparability and no necessary connection between them. TOEFL /SAT writing is more like practical writing or writing with a fixed format, which requires students to express their views in a short time.
First, it examines the potential of students to study in American universities in the future. In fact, a page is very common when you enter the university class in the future.
Thesis, that is, a one-page essay assignment, requires a short time, which is very similar to the requirements and format in TOEFL /SAT writing. Application examines students' deep thinking.
After careful consideration, a kind of ability to grasp the self-situation, that is, the so-called self-grasp, requires a lot and is also the embodiment of students' maturity. On the premise of having a deep understanding of yourself
Next, the articles written are naturally accurate in words, changeable in sentence patterns and profound in thought. This kind of article, to some extent, is like a deep analysis of the real world after students finish their studies and work in the future. Therefore, these two types of articles are structurally safe.
There are differences in arrangement, logical response and word selection, which is completely understandable.
Therefore, the above two types of articles have their own emphasis, which also gives those students who do not play well in TOEFL /SAT writing for various reasons and have not achieved satisfactory results another opportunity.
Make amends. This is also the fundamental reason why I have repeatedly emphasized the importance of thesis writing in the process of undergraduate application in American universities. In fact, last time I met the deputy director of the Undergraduate Admissions Committee of the University of Chicago.
Adele Brumfield told me clearly when she was here that the University of Chicago didn't look at the writing part of the SAT at all, but focused on students' application for essay.
