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 of 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
B. write something unique in an essay to impress the readers
C. take the task of showing off yourself seriously
D. pay attention to your personal essay
When admissions officers ask who has inspired you，they mean to________.
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

Last summer I went through a training program and became a literacy volunteer（扫盲志愿者）．The training I received，though excellent，did not tell me how it was to work with a real student，however．When I began to discover（发现）what other people's lives were like because they could not read，I realized the true importance of reading．
My first student Marie was a 44-year-old single（单身的）mother of three．In the first lesson，I found out she walked two miles to the nearest supermarket twice a week because she didn't know which bus to take．When I told her I would get her a bus schedule（时刻表），she told me it would not help because she could not read it．She said she also had difficulty once she got to the supermarket because she couldn't always remember what she needed．Since she did not know words，she could not write out a shopping list．Also，she could only recognize（认出，识别）items by sight，so if the product had a different label（标识），she would not recognize it as the product she wanted．
As we worked together，learning how to read built Marie's self-confidence（自信心），which encouraged her to continue in her studies． She began to make rapid progress and was even able to take the bus to the supermarket．After this successful trip，she reported how self-confident she felt．At the end of the program，she began helping her youngest son，Tony，a shy first grader，with his reading．She sat with him before he went to sleep and together they would read bedtime stories．When his eyes became wide with excitement as she read，pride was written all over her face，and she began to see how her own hard work in learning to read paid off．As she described（描述）this experience，I was proud of myself as well．I
found that helping Marie to build her self-confidence was more rewarding（值得做的）than anything I had ever done before．
As a literacy volunteer，I learned a great deal about teaching and helping others．In fact，I may have learned more form the experience than Marie did．

(1)Plan your time carefully．When you plan your week, you should make a list of things that you have to do．After making this list, you should make a schedule(时间表)of your time．First your time for eating, sleeping, dressing etc．Then decide a good, regular time for studying． 2 ．A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time．
(2) 3 ．Look around the house for a good study area．Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials．No games, radios, or television!When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject．
