01

文书作者：Sarah

文章主题：克服障碍与发现学术激情

专家评价：

萨拉的文书以一个生动的故事开始——她被雪球砸了。她巧妙地将这个故事与自己的运动天赋联系在一起，这反过来又导致了她与纤维肌痛症的斗争，以及面对身体上的限制，她将自己的热情转向了科学和数学。故事绕了一个圈，在最后雪球场景的结尾完美地联系在一起，这让读者感到萨拉的胜利，同时也为她的决心感到自豪。

文书节选：

I am standing behind my high school when a snowball pelts my side with a thud and splatters across my jacket, covering me with a fine, icy dust. My bewildered eyes trace the snowball’s trajectory until they fall upon a pair of snickering hoodlums crouched behind a small mountain of snowballs. They must have been waiting all afternoon for an unsuspecting student to walk by, and perhaps for emphasis, one of the boys looks me in the eye and raises a grimy middle finger. Quickly, I mold a handful of snow into a sphere with cupped hands and cock my arm back.

I haven’t thrown anything in a while, but muscle memory guides me through the requisite motions. I played softball for eight years, and my athletic strength was always my throwing arm; in fifth grade, when my coach asked me to throw the ball from third to first, I hurled the ball with such force that the catch knocked him off-balance. Upon entering high school, it seemed natural that I would play on the school’s softball team.

文书作者：Lucien

文章主题：移民融入与社会服务

专家评价：

Lucien的文章描述了他个人与他的社区服务活动的联系。他以一个在加拿大遇到第一个朋友的有趣故事开始，并将这次遭遇与他目前的事业联系起来，然后以自我反省和他希望实现的社会更大目标作为结尾，进一步深入探讨。他的个人陈述让读者得以一窥他的背景和融入新文化的过程，以及他作为移民的经历如何激励他帮助其他移民适应新地方的生活。

文书节选：

I sat under the table, burying my head tightly in my folded arms, while the other children sat on the carpet, listening to the teacher’s story. The language barrier was like a tsunami, gurgling with strange and indistinguishable vocalizations. Elementary school wasn’t as fun as I expected at all.

“Hello?”

Hearing a whisper, I raised my head up, only to notice a boy’s face merely inches away. I bolted up in surprise, my head colliding gracefully with the underside of the table. Yelping in pain, I noticed that the entire class was staring at me.

That was the story of how I met my first friend in Canada.

That boy, Jack, came to visit me during my lonely recesses. It was rather awkward at first—I could only stare at him as he rambled on in English. But it was comforting to have some company.

文书作者：Octav

文章主题：数学梦想

专家评价：

奥克塔夫的文章巧妙的运用了复杂的叙事转换和并列的手法。在他的笔下，美丽的田园风光和玉米地转换为了完全出乎意料、令人振奋的数学顿悟。这个比喻被证明是有效的，因为它将他丰富的触觉体验与最抽象的认知体验结合在一起。在这种遐想中，我们看到了奥克塔夫的思想自由和在伟大思想家的贡献和他自己独到的见解中沉浸自己的能力。

文书节选：

A light breeze caressing the cornfield makes it look like a gentle swaying sea of gold under the ginger sun of late summer. A child’s chime-like laughter echoes. As I rush through the cornfield, I hear the rustling of leaves and the murmur of life hidden among the stems that tower over me.

I remember the joy of the day when I solved one of my first difficult combinatorics problems at my parents’ house in the countryside. I felt so exhilarated that I ran outside and into the cornfield. As I was passing row after row of stems, I realized the cornfield was actually a giant matrix with thousands of combinations of possible pathways, just like the combinatorics problem I had just solved. I looked at the sky and I thought about the great mathematicians of the past that contributed so much to this field and about how I have added yet another dimension to my matrix. Suddenly, mathematics appeared to me as a 3D live map where staggering arrays of ideas connect each other by steady flows of sheer wisdom.

文书作者：John

文章主题：展现个人特质

专家评价：

约翰懂得如何吸引读者的兴趣，他的写作手法让我们目不转睛的读完了这篇字数略多的文书。跑步是这篇文书的主要故事，坚持不懈和坚韧的主题贯穿这篇文章，这个学生通过此文展示了与众不同的毅力。

文书节选：

“Let’s face it, you’re slow,” my violin teacher said.

He was, as always, complaining that running was detracting from my practice time.

That summed up what running had always meant to me, ever since I was a seventh grader, choosing his sport for the first time. I was fine and content, however. I always had Jeffrey and Archie, classmates like me who ran slowly. We were good friends. We laughed together; we raced together; we pushed each other, and endured tough workouts together. But after middle school the people I trained with went on to do things they were better at. I remained, even though I was not good enough to be considered for varsity.
