不一样的申请文书-新东方前途出国

Wake Forest University 是美国一所极富盛名的综合性研究大学，其小班制精英教学体制更是受学生们的青睐。不过这所学校的文书题目可是十分有挑战性的，也劝退不少有意愿尝试的学生。

As part of our “Voices of Our Time” series – whichallows students, faculty, and staff to hear from some of the world’s leadingthinkers – Wake Forest has hosted Ta-Nehisi Coates, Michelle Alexander, EbooPatel, and Thomas Friedman. If you could choose the next series speaker, whowould you pick, and why? (150 words) 

作为我们的“时代之声”系列节目的一部分——让学生、教师和工作人员能够听到世界上一些著名的思想家的声音——维克森林已经招待了塔内希西·科茨、米歇尔·亚历山大、埃博帕特尔和托马斯·弗里德曼。如果你可以选择下一个系列的演讲者，你会选谁，为什么？（150字）

当看到学校的school vision之后，我们也就能明白学校出此题的原因了。在school vision，提到了

Emphasize exceptional teaching, discovery,and student engagement within a dynamic academic community. 

Become a crossroads of discussion on the importantnational and international issues of our time. 

Attract a diverse community of the brightesteducators and students from throughout the country and the world. 

Link intellectual curiosity, moral reflectionand a commitment toservice, shaping ethically informed leaders to servehumanity 

学校问此题正是想寻找一个学生，cultured,pay attention to current affair, and have a pulse on how leading voice areimpacting society.

文书范文（摘自外文网站）

Thenext speaker in the ‘Voices of our Time’ series should be presidentialcandidate Marianne Williamson. With a background as an author and long timespiritual adviser, Marianne has developed a fascinating political philosophythat imbues leadership with spirituality and introspection. Her policy platformis unconventional, but it sheds light on some interesting issues such asreparations and the creation of a Department of Peace, in turn bringing topicsinto the political canon that otherwise never would have seen the light of day.

这篇范文的成功之处在于，选取了一位less known figure, 更有深度的点出她的政治理念。同时也看出学生对于政治的关注和喜爱。

希望今天的讲解，可以对同学们的申请有帮助，提前在自己感兴趣的领域多做功课为之后的附表文书积累素材！
