One of the big challenges that students face in applying to universities abroad is writing the application essay．

The essay topics all have something in common．They attempt to get at what type of person you are, what motivates you，and what you feel passion for．In a single 500-word piece of writing，

admissions officers（招生负责人）attempt to gather all about you．So your task is of your personality on the essay and make yourself special．

You can try and guess what the admissions officers like．But that won’t work．The essay will sound empty and become another dull piece of writing，which admissions officers get thousands each year．

It is true that admissions officers aren’t exactly looking for anything．The answer is just as open-ended as the question itself．If they ask for someone who has inspired you, it could be anyone．It could be a grandmother, a teacher, or even a character from a movie．A lot of people will say their dad．But since you really feel it, you’ll have a lot to write about．

There are some important things to remember．These admissions officers want good writers．You don't have to be Ernest Hemingway, but you have to be able to form an interesting story．That means revision（校对）and editing，cutting out stupid grammar mistakes，reading it over several times，leaving it for a few days and looking at it again．Whatever you do, make sure the essay is as good as possible．

Also，you should use exciting language and really make the reader feel the same passion as you do．It also means finding something unique about your point of view, something that other people might not think of．For example，if you want to write about your dad, you can focus on a specific anecdote（趣闻）about him ．Admissions officers love personal stories that ring true．

The purpose of the passage is to give advice on how to_________．

A．choose an essay topic B．read the officers’ minds

C．be a good writer D write an effective application

The underlined part of paragraph 2 suggests that you__________．

A．stick enough stamps before posting your application essay

C．take the task of showing off yourself seriously

D．pay attention to your personal essay

A．know about your family members B．understand you better

C．find out what your father does D．discover your personal affairs

According to the writer, it is wise to produce an essay with__________．

A．500 beautiful words B．many funny things C．truthful specific stories D．indirect answers

Being a mother is apparently not like it was in the good old days.

　　Today’s parents yearn for the golden age that their own mothers enjoyed in the 1970s and 1980s, researchers found. Mothers have less time to themselves and feel under greater pressure to handle work and family life than the previous generation. As a result, 88 per cent said they felt guilty about the lack of time they spent with their children.

The survey of 1,000 mothers also found that more than a third said they had less time to themselves than their mothers did – just three hours a week or 26 minutes a day. And 64 per cent said this was because they felt they ‘had’ to go out to work, while nearly a third (29 per cent) said they were under constant pressure to be the ‘perfect mother’, the report found.

Other findings showed social networking and parenting websites, as well as technology such as Skype, were important in providing help and support among female communities. Kate Fox, a member of the Social Issues Research Centre, which conducted the survey for Procter & Gamble, said: ‘With increasing pressure on mothers to work a “double shift” — to be the perfect mother as well as a wage-earner — support networks are more important than ever.

It comes as a separate report examining childcare in the leading industrialised nations found that working mothers in Britain spend just 81 minutes a day caring for their children as a ‘primary activity’. Mothers who stay at home, on the other hand, manage twice as much time – more than two and a half hours – looking after their offspring, according to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.

　　Critics say the pressure on women to work long hours, and leave their offspring in the hands of nurseries or childminders, is putting the well-being of their children at risk.

　　The study also reveals that, despite the fact that more and more modern mothers go out to work, the burden of childcare still falls on them - even if their husband is not in work. A father who is not in work tends to spend just 63 minutes a day looking after his child - 18 minutes less than a mother who goes out to work. Working fathers spare less than three quarters of an hour with their children.
