Chinese written language is often indirect, using vague and soaring phrases to get meaning across. four-character phrases demonstrate wisdom in Chinese, but are viewed as cliches in English English writing is more direct and meanings are gleaned from small incidents Consequently, an essay that sounds beautiful in Chinese often sounds horrible in English English ability or cultural differences? 中国学生往往在个人论文上出现问题 对中国学生来说，多半是写作风格的问题，而不是英语水平的问题 中文写作往往会有以下特点，不直切要害，用模糊的词语和大的概念来间接表达 在中文中，使用成语是一种聪明的表现，但是在西方的观点中，却有陈词滥调之嫌。 英语写作非常直接，文章的意思是从各种微小的事例中体现出来的 所以，中文中非常出色的论文在英语的评判标准中也许是垃圾，反之亦然。 英语水平还是文化差异？ Chinese students are used to a system with a ‘right’ answer They perceive a successful application from a previous year to be a ‘right’ answer This causes two problems - software often picks up the same sentences - students do not sound like individuals, and US universities want individuals Individuality of applications 中国学生习惯于有“正确”答案 他们认为去年申请成功的那份材料就是“正确”答案 这引发两个问题 - 很多论文里的句子都是一样的 - 学生失去了个性化的表现，而美国大学非常关注学生的个性发展 申请对个性化的要求 Both a counselor and teacher recommendation are necessary Many Chinese teachers don’t have the necessary levels of English to write these Those that have the English often lack the understanding of what a good reference should look like Letters of recommendation 大学申请指导老师和老师的推荐信都非常重要 很多中国老师是不具备写推荐信的语言能力的 有语言能力的中国老师又不了解一份好的推荐信应该是什么样子的 推荐信 For higher end universities, more emphasis on academic grades English language ability Evidence of other interests No SAT required Only a personal statement, no additional essays required Applying to the UK 排名靠前的大学通常非常关注学习成绩 英语语言能力 学生其它兴趣爱好的证据 没有 SAT的要求 只有一份个人陈述，不要求其它论文 英国大学申请 A 36 month proc
