Many scholarships require that you write an essay in order to be considered for the prize money. However, if you are the sort of person that has a headache whenever you have to complete a writing assignment, this may not be the best news. Luckily for you, there is no reason to fear the scholarship essay. The following tips could help you conquer this not-so-easy aspect of the scholarship application process.

You should always outline your essays. This does not just apply to the scholarship essays, either. An outline helps lend focus to your thoughts and helps you create a picture of the “whole” that the essay will become. Judges cannot stand when your writing is loose, lacks coherence (连贯性) or when you fail to connect your main points together. They want to see that you can support your argument well with clear and brief examples and that these examples do, in fact, relate to the topic at hand.

If you have a choice in the topic you get to write about, always try to select something you are personally interested in. Don’t write what you think the judges want to hear. This will only amount in an essay that reads like someone else’s, which is not a great way to make yourself stand out.

If you feel bored with the topic, then your essay will be boring as well. Make sure your idea follows a clear and a logical path. This means they are connected well and the transitions (过渡) easily flow from one idea to the next. Likewise, try to stay away from the obvious or the sad story. Yes, college will be a life-changing experience, but can you think of an interesting reason why this is so? And yes, it is terrible that you lost a family member at a young age, but what does it have to do with winning this scholarship? Judges can smell sad stories from a mile away, so only pull at the heartstrings if you have a proper reason for doing so.

1.Why is an outline necessary for writing a scholarship essay?

A. To focus on the details of the essay.　　 B. To think more about the scholarship.

C. To support the arguments very well.　　 D. To make a picture of the whole essay.

2.What does the author advise on writing a scholarship essay?

A. Selecting a topic the judges like.

B. Presenting the ideas in a logic way.

C. Adding some obvious and sad stories.

D. Telling experiences of losing someone.

3.Who are the intended readers of the passage?

A. Essay readers.　　 B. Judges in colleges.

C. College students.　　 D. Company leaders.

Writing a film analysis essay is an assignment that is less likely to terrorize those who fear the idea of writing an essay, because it allows them to write about something most people enjoy.

1. .Then watch it again. Take notes during the first viewing and, if you are analyzing a movie that is available on DVD, be ready with your remote control to pause and rewind.

Critically engage the movie so that you can effectively produce a strong essay. 2. . Ideas for essays taking this route could include an analysis of how the film is photographed, how the movie relates a historical event in a dramatic way without compromising the facts or how a single sequence within the film relates to larger cinematic concepts, like overlapping dialogue or the use of dramatic irony.

3. . Include the name of another technician on the film if your analysis will be focusing on that aspect. Write your film analysis with the movie at hand if this possible.

Provide a brief overview of the story, but avoid the temptation to pad your word count by writing what amounts to a synopsis(outline) of the story rather than analysis. 4. .

Familiarize　 yourself　 with　 technical　 languages　 related　 to　 the　 art　 of　 filmmaking.　 Write　 about subjective camera work if the analysis is dealing with a part of the movie shot from the point of view of one of the characters. 5..

A.Reveal plots if they relate directly to your analysis.

B.Rely on your memory to write your film analysis.

C.Watch the movie carefully.

D.Write about the emotional tone of the film.

E.Introduce the film and its major participants.

F.Properly using filmmaking terms will strengthen your essay.

G.Focus on a single thematic concept related to the film.

Not too long ago, our teacher, being a “tree-hugger”(as the kids call her), had us write an essay on an environmental issue. I was eager to start, but something made me stop.

“What is an environmental issue?” one kid asked. “What if we don’t care about the environment?” another complained. “It’s not like it affects me.”

These comments astounded me. I have always cared about the environment and assumed that others did too. From the surprised look on my teacher’s face, I could tell she felt the same way.

In no time, I finished my essay. In my essay I wrote about logging(伐木), which is an important industry, but if we continue to cut down trees without replacing, it will damage the environment.

There are so many things that we can do to save our world. Recycling, of course, is always a good thing, but not everyone has a recycling plant nearby (I don’t). There are other ways to help the environment. Plant a tree. Don’t waste water.

I can’t stand it when a person’s excuse for not caring is “Nothing is going to happen in my lifetime, so why should I care?” Sure, the chances of something terrible happening are slim, but I want people to realize that if we don’t deal with it, someone will have to eventually. Do you want that to be your children? Or your children’s children?

When my teacher told me to read my essay to my class, I was a little embarrassed because I didn’t want everyone to call me “tree-hugger”. I realize now that if being a tree-hugger means you care about the environment, I’m a tree-hugger 100 percent. I just wish more people were.

1.Why do the students call their teacher “tree-hugger”?

A. She likes hugging trees.

B. She knows a lot about trees.

C. She grew up in the countryside.

D. She cares a lot about the environment.

2.At the beginning, the author stopped writing _____ .

A. to ask some questions

B. because of other kids’ comments

C. to listen to the teacher’s instructions

D. because he had no idea about the topic

3.The underlined word “astounded” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by “_____” .

A. helped　　 B. changed　　 C. shocked　　 D. interested

4.Paragraph 5 is mainly about _____ .

A. what we can recycle

B. how we can save the earth

C. why we should protect the earth

D. what damage we are doing to the earth

5.We can infer from the passage that _____ .

A. the students don’t like the teacher

B. the teacher liked the author’s essay

C. the author is ashamed of being a tree-hugger

D. the author should have written a better essay

阅读下面短文, 根据所给情节进行续写, 使之构成一个完整的故事。

Once upon a time, there was an old man who couldn’t read or write. When he was little, his family was so poor that he couldn’t attend school. But he always dreamed of being able to read.

One day, he took his seven-year-old grandson to school.

Since he didn’t have anything to do that day, he didn’t leave immediately. Instead, he stood outside his grandson’s classroom and looked in through the window.

The kids’ teacher, who was an old man in his fifties, entered the classroom when the class began. The teacher was wearing thick glasses. He started teaching. Through watching him, the old man found something interesting. He noticed that the teacher could read nothing without putting his glasses on. As soon as he put on his glasses, he could read very well.

“How amazing!” said the old man to himself.

He waited outside the classroom until the class was over and stopped the teacher.

“Excuse me, sir,” said the old man to the teacher.

“Yes?” said the teacher.

“I noticed something amazing. You can’t read without the glasses, right?” said the old man.

“Yes, that’s true. I can read nothing without them,” replied the teacher.

“But you can read once you put them on, can’t you?” asked the old man.

“Yes, that’s true, too,” replied the teacher, wondering why the old man was asking such strange questions.

The teacher looked at the old man, who left in a hurry with a big smile on his face.

The old man, who was extremely happy, decided to go to town to find an eyeglasses store. After being unable to read so many years, he finally found an easy way to read, which cheered him up. He realized what he needed to read was just a pair of glasses.

“I can finally read,” said the old man to himself when walking to the town.

Finally, the man arrived at the town. He looked around and soon found a store with glasses in it. The man happily entered the store.

注意：

1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右；

2. 至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语；

3. 续写部分分为两段, 每段的开头语已为你写好；
