　　China is a country that pays so much attention and emphasis on education. Elementary School for a starter, following the Junior Middle School, Senior Middle School, College, Graduate School and etc., every student must receive a series of strict and systematic academic training before he really can be put to good use in society. Children’s education plays a very important role in family life too. Parents put so much expectation on their children, and give all they can to shape their children prodigies. Expectation is a two-edged sword: on the one hand, it brings students a strong backup and good surrounding for study that their parents never had; but on the other hand, expectation also means much pressure and rigor. Meanwhile, the pressure does not only come from the family. The competition within schools is so intense that every entering a higher school is like a war – fighting for the opportunities to enter best schools. In the last eleven years, I have been growing under such a background.

　　When I was at the age about to enter elementary school, like all the parents under the sun, my mom and dad believed that I deserved the very best from the beginning. So they worked so hard on getting me into the best elementary school of the city. But unfortunately, due to the entering-the-nearest-school rule for primary school prospective students, I finally got into the one that was two blocks away from our house – a mediocre elementary school. To mom and dad, it was all along a big pity that I couldn’t have the best education. But deep in my mind I decided to make up their regret with my own working. So, early since I firstly entered school, I have taken education more seriously than most of my peers. I studied so hard, looking forward to increasing my knowledge, expanding my view of the world and getting more and more mature. Six years quickly disappeared into history. I soon found myself standing in front of another turning point. I made my determination to open myself the best middle school’s gate.

　　However, sometimes determination doesn’t always turn out the best result. My knocking didn’t get the most desired answer I was expecting. Again, I missed the chance to enter the best school in our city. However, instead of getting disappointed this time, mom and dad even felt delighted because though it was not the best, the Junior Middle School that admitted me was also a considerably renowned one. Yet I still haven’t got very satisfied about the result. During the three years in Junior Middle School, I never slowed down my steps to pursue my aim.

　　My determination pushed me to seek the best in everything I do, whether in academic studies or other aspects of life. I remember the time I got myself into a dilemma. Because of my outstanding trumpet skill, I took the position of chief trumpet player in school orchestra. So I had to keep a well-balanced connection between study and music. But at the end of one semester when I was tensely preparing for the finals, I suddenly received the notification from the orchestra for a big performance, which means I had to spend much time on rehearsal and practicing for my own solo. The two things seemed so conflictive that both mom and dad advised me to give up the performance. But I wanted the performance to be good as much as my academic record. I accepted to make the performance without hesitation. For a whole month, I almost wanted to divide every minute into two. I clutched every second in the daytime to work on my school courses because the trumpet score was waiting for me in the night. In order not to annoy neighbors, I closed myself into the small toilet of our house. It was in summer, the small closed space was so hot and fuggy. My body got totally wet with sweats every time I finished the practicing. After one month, I did very well in both the examination and performance, with the cost of a couple of kilograms’ weight drop. With a determination like that, after the completion of Junior Middle School, I finally got admitted by one of the top middle schools of our city.

　　I aspire to study Biochemistry in my undergraduate years and become a scientist specialized in biochemical sciences. Honestly, my first encounter with this subject was not a very pleasant memory. When I was very young, I watched a movie “The 731 Army” which tells of the biochemical weapon research of Japanese Army in China during World War Two. In the movie, Japanese Army uses innocent villagers to test the biochemical weapon, the horrible vision deeply carved in my memory. Since then on, both that movie and biochemistry were an unspeakable taboo to me. But things got totally changed when I began to take chemistry study in middle school. I was suddenly captured by the great fascination of chemistry. Chemical experiment became my most favorite class. And only school studies could not satisfy my curiosity, I expanded my readings to many other sources. From the learning, my early fear of biochemistry was gone completely, because the more I read, the more I found it such a beautiful and useful subject for our human being. I know becoming a scientist in biochemical field will be a long and tiring process. But my determination gives me the confidence and courage to face any challenge and difficulty.

　　美国大学申请表填写须知

　　申请表的基本信息：在填写过程中，所谓“基本信息”并不那么简单，除自己的姓名、昵称、性别、年龄、地址、电话、E-mail等等常规信息之外，还有各类考试分数、学术兴趣、职业取向、种族等信息，甚至还要填写自己的父母分别于何时就读于何大学或研究生院，取得何种学位，是否结婚、分居或离异，现居住何处，从事何职业，有何职位。

　　申请表的综合信息：申请表的重头戏还在第二部分的综合信息。第一项往往是学术荣誉。紧接后面的课外活动、志愿活动、家庭活动、兴趣爱好一栏十分广阔。你要明白美国大学的用意：学习是首当其冲的基本条件，而各种社会活动和兴趣爱好更能体现申请人的个性、特长、精力和合理安排时间的能力。

　　申请表的工作经历：接下的工作经历一项，有几行表格，分为工作性质、雇主、工作日期、每周工作时间等项，最后还有数行空白用来描述以上的工作中哪一个对你有着最大的意义，要说明为什么。

　　申请表的附加材料：另外要注意可否加寄补充材料。几乎所有学校都允许申请人提交申请表以外的附加材料。很多学校的相关专业接受各类艺术作品的复印件、照片和录音带，也接受学术论文和其他申请人希望提交的附加材料。比如，由于申请表的空间有限，无法将全面情况反映出来，于是要精心准备附加材料。

　　美国留学注意事项

　　1、千万不要当众表现出粗鲁的行为

　　这一点好像在哪个国家都通用，但在美国你要尤为重视，因为他们特别在意。美国人对生活细节都是特别讲究的，你要特别注意。

　　记得我上大学的时候，有一门课是口语课，外教老师是一个美国人。

　　上课的时候，他就和我们聊起了他上学时舍友臭鞋子乱扔的事，时过境迁，虽然他讲的时候带着追忆和幽默，但言语中那一丝丝的嫌弃真的是历久弥新啊!

　　所以当众脱鞋，臭鞋子乱扔等等无礼的行为去美国要收一收啦!

　　2、‘I am sorry’要慎用

　　在国内，我们一般会在尴尬不好意思的时候随口说一句对不起，这样主要是表达自己的歉意缓解气氛，但是在美国一定要慎用!

　　为什么这么说，在美国人的意识里，当你说‘I am sorry’的时候，就代表你承认所有的错误都是你的责任，与他人无关。

　　所以在一些有争议的场合，比如交通事故，你的一句‘I am sorry’很可能让你陷入大麻烦!

　　3、要称呼教授为Prof.Dr.而不是Ms.

　　美国人好面子是出了名的，在大学的时候，不要称呼你的老师为老师，要用教授(即Prof.Dr.)，这样他们听起来舒服。

　　假如你称呼一位教授为老师，他可能会感觉你不认可他的教学能力，脾气暴的可能会当场指责你，让你难堪。

　　此外，教授听起来也与职位挂钩，没有那个老师不喜欢在学校里被叫教授。

　　4、夜间不要单独乘地铁

　　你以为美国的治安会像咱们国内那么好吗?晚上想去哪去哪儿?

　　怎么可能。在美国最好不要晚上一个人坐地铁，因为那个时间地铁里充满了形形色色的人，他们可能是黑帮，毒贩，瘾君子，小偷等等。

　　那地方连警察晚上都不愿意去!

　　5、不要随意给别人送礼物

　　在国内，看到一个很好玩的东西就可以买下来送给朋友。然而，这在美国就不行。

　　美国人是十分在意欠人情这件事的，假如你无缘无故给人家送礼物，他们可能会觉得非常不舒服，甚至觉得你会有求于他而拒绝你的礼物。

　　所以一般不是节日的时候美国人是不互相送礼物的，假如遇上什么节日而你不知道送什么，那就送花吧，美国人是不会拒绝魅力的鲜花的!
