在大学申请中，很多学校会要求写一篇文书来说明申请者为什么会对他们学校感兴趣。这个时候，有的学生会出现一个失误，就是铆足了劲地夸奖这个学校怎么怎么好，名声有多大。 学校他自己很清楚自己的名气，不需要申请者再去强调。在这个问题里，学校想看到的是学生申请该校的个人理由，为什么这个学校是适合这个特定的学生的。所以在回答类似的问题的时候，要避免在陈述中过分赞扬申请的学校，请就自己个人情况说明申请该校的理由。

A general question for a college application essay is, “Why Us?” The university wants to know why the applicant is choosing this particular university. A common, but boring, answer is for the applicant to write about how great and prestigious the university is. Sadly, this is not the answer the admission officer and universities want to read. They already know how good they are and want to read about how great the applicant is. They want to know what advantages the applicant has over other students. So, when you are working on your college application essay and see the question “Why Us?” what you need to write and think about is “Why is this university a good fit for me.”

在Martha小姐的电影研究课上，学生们观看了电影“少年派的奇幻漂流”。 看电影的同时，学生对电影中出现的各种宗教产生了许多疑问。 将他们的问题用作跳板，学生被要求两人一组研究电影中的四种宗教之一。 这个项目让学生利用自己的好奇心以动态的方式进行学习。 它还让学生组成一个团队一起分工合作分享想法来完成最终的项目。

In Miss Martha Lee's Film Studies class, students watched the movie Life of Pi. While watching the movie, students generated many questions about the various religions featured in the film.

This project allowed students to use their own curiosity to engage in learning in a hands-on an visual way. It also allowed students to work together as a team and share ideas to complete a final project.
