美国本科宾大&加州理工文书变化-新东方前途出国

• 宾大

• 变化一：新增“感谢信”一题，但建议避免写父母、老师等老生常谈的素材，也切忌过多描述他人而喧宾夺主

题目：Write a short thank-you note to someone you have not yet thanked and would like to acknowledge. (We encourage you to share this note with that person, if possible, and reflect on the experience!)

翻译：写一封简短的感谢信给你尚未感谢但想感谢的人。

加州理工

• 变化一：文书大换血！出现了4个全新的必答题目，一起来看~

题目：（WHY Major类）Why did you choose that area of interest? 

翻译：你为什么选择这个感兴趣的领域？

题目：（STEM探索类）At Caltech, we investigate some of the most challenging, fundamental problems in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Identify and describe two STEM-related experiences from your high school years, either in or out of the classroom, and tell us how and why they activated your curiosity.  What about them made you want to learn more and explore further? 

翻译：在加州理工学院，我们研究科学、技术、工程和数学中一些最具挑战性的基本问题。找出并描述你高中时期在课堂内外的两次与 STEM 相关的经历，并告诉我们它们如何以及为何激发了你的好奇心。他们是怎样让你想了解更多并进一步探索？ 

题目：（个人创造力）The creativity, inventiveness, and innovation of Caltech’s students, faculty, and researchers have won Nobel Prizes and put rovers on Mars, but Techers also imagine smaller scale innovations every day, from new ways to design solar cells to 3D printing dorm decor. How have you been an innovator in your own life? 

翻译：加州理工学院的学生、教师和研究人员的创造力、发明能力和创新力已经获得了诺贝尔奖，并将漫游者送上了火星，但技术人员也每天都在想象更小规模的创新，从设计太阳能电池的新方法到 3D 打印宿舍装饰。你是如何成为自己生活中的创新者的？

题目：（背景塑造）The process of discovery is best advanced when people from diverse backgrounds come together to solve the greatest challenges in their fields. How do your past experiences and present-day perspectives inform who you have become and how you navigate the world? 

翻译：当来自不同背景的人们，齐心协力解决各自领域中最大的挑战时，发现的过程会得到最好的推进。你过去的经历和现在的观点如何让你知道，你已经成为谁以及你如何探索这个世界？

• 变化二：选答题中有3个“兴趣爱好类”题目，可以让申请者更好地展示个人的综合能力

题目：If there are aspects of your identity that you feel are not captured elsewhere in this application, please provide that information below. 

翻译：如果你觉得在本申请中没有涉及到你身份的某些方面，请在下面提供相关信息。

题目：When not surveying the stars, peering through microscopes, or running through marathons of coding, Caltech students pursue an eclectic array of interests that range from speedcubing to participating in varsity athletics to reading romance novels. What is a favorite interest or hobby and why does it bring you joy? 

翻译：加州理工学院的学生在不观测恒星、不通过显微镜观察、不马拉松式的编程的时候，会追求各种各样的兴趣爱好，从速立方到参加校队运动，再到阅读言情小说。你最喜欢的兴趣或爱好是什么？为什么它能给你带来快乐？

题目：Did you have a hard time narrowing it down to just one interest or hobby? We understand – Caltech students like to stay busy, too – tell us about another hobby or interest! 

翻译：你是否很难将兴趣或爱好的范围只缩小到一种?我们理解——加州理工学院的学生也喜欢保持忙碌——告诉我们你的另一个爱好或兴趣！
