今天小MA来详细讲讲指导留学英文写作essay怎么写[流程详解]
一、留学英文essay写作流程
1.熟悉各个大学的申请essay题目
不同大学设置的essay题目不同,偏好的写作风格也不同。在下笔之前尽可能多地熟悉各个大学的申请essay题目。可以从网上搜索以往被录取大神的essay,也可以多看一些范文,尽可能多去了解essay的写作结构及技巧。
2.剖析个人故事
当你的脑海中对essay的写法了解了之后,就可以开始构思你的essay亮点了。尽可能多地去挖掘能凸显个人特色的故事或经历。
3.完成初稿
在确定自己的想法后就可以下笔写初稿了,此时不要过多在意文笔是不是足够好或者能够吸引招生官注意,随心所欲表达出真实想法即可。
4.润色
完成初稿后,可以反复进行修改润色,检查是否有拼写或语法错误。润色部分可以找英语水平较高的朋友、老师或英语母语者帮忙。

三、留学英文essay写作范文参考
When my parents met, my mom was a 16-year-old, straight-A student from Indiana and myfather was a 26-year-old convenience store employee. "Don't date him," they told her. "He'stoo old for you, and it will be nothing but trouble." My mom didn't listen.
我父母相遇的时候,我妈妈16岁,是印第安纳州的优等学生,我爸爸26岁,是一家便利店的雇员。"不要和他约会,"他们告诉她。"他对你来说太老了,这只会给你带来麻烦。"我妈妈不听。
But those people were right.He was nothing but trouble.He isolated my mother from herfamily and convinced her that things would be better if she moved in with him.Before long,she was pregnant with me."Don't have the baby," they told her. "He'll just leave and you'll beraising the baby on your own." My mom didn't listen.
但这些人是对的。他只是个麻烦。他把我母亲和她的家人隔离开来并说服她,如果她搬去和他一起住,事情会更好。不久,她就怀上了我。"不要生孩子,"他们告诉她。"他一走,你就得一个人把孩子养大。“我妈妈不听。
But those people were right. My father left shortly after I was born, and she was alone with meat 17 years old."Don't drop out of school to raise the baby," they told her. "It will be too hardand you won't be able to make to make it work without an education." My mom didn't listen.But those people were right.By the time I was in middle school, my mother was selling drugsto pay the bills, and she used them as well. she thought I didn't know, but she wasn't verygood at hiding it. "The daughter is going to end up just like the mother," they said. "Herfather's gone and her mom's a drug dealer, she'll never amount to anything."
But those people were wrong.
l may not have had parents to guide me, but I had books that showed me a better way. I couldsee myself in the characters and experience the same range of emotions that I read on eachpage. I learned about things that were possible with hard work, and envisioned worlds thatexisted only in fantasy.But in every book, I got inspiration.
Whereas some people saw tragedy when they read about Anne Shirley being sent to GreenGables, I saw a young woman who put in the work to achieve her goals and disprove everyonewho made assumptions about her.And when I read about Mary Lennox's quest to find theSecret Garden, I didn't see a spoiled rich girl. Instead, I saw a young woman who usedimagination and inspiration to create her own happy endings.
Reading was the one thing I could do without having to ask for money, or a ride to the
bookstore. I could check out an eBook from my library and download it right to my phone as Isat on my front porch. I was able to tune out everything else going on in my life and focus onwhat was possible.And it wasn't just the characters who inspired me, but the writers as well.Idecided that if these strangers could create stories that captivated and motivated readers, thenI could do it too.
Instead of reading every day, I started writing. Paragraphs became pages, which becamechapters.By the time summer arrived, I had written an entire book with 36 chapters and anarray of adventures. I hope to share the book with young adults in the future so they can be asinspired by my words as I have been by the writing of others.
But my book isn't ready for its debut yet. It sits in a file on my computer, waiting for the righttime to bring it to light. what's important is that it's there, telling the story of a young girl whoovercame her challenges and went on to life of strength. Her family's situation didn't pre-defineher, and the opinions of others didn't shape who she became.
但我的书还没准备好出书。它放在我电脑上的一个文件里,等待合适的时机将它公布于众。重要的是,它就在那里,讲述了一个年轻女孩的故事,她克服了挑战,继续过着坚强的生活。她的家庭状况并没有预先定义她,其他人的看法也没有塑造她成为什么样的人。
It's a story that I'm proud to have written, and I'm not worried about whether anyone everreads it. What matters is that it's possible for a girl like me to create my own ending.
这是一个我引以为豪的故事,我并不担心是否有人读过它。重要的是像我这样的女孩有可能创造自己的结局。以上是留学英文essay写作相关要点,写essay一定不要临时抱佛脚,提前了解意向学校的特点,用真实的自己打动审
