    那就是英文自傳

  • It is not required by a lot of departments,

    雖然不是很多學校要求

    但是如果可以在備審資料中加些英文的內容總是好的

  • Here we go. Number One.

    我們開始吧,第一。

    我知道每次要做自傳的時候

  • you're gonna talk all about your family members,

    你都會提到你的家人

  • like how many brothers or sisters you have,

    像是有多少兄弟姊妹

  • or what your brothers or sisters are doing right now,

    或是你的兄弟姊妹現在在做什麼

  • or your parents' jobs.

    或是你的父母的工作

  • It could fill up the space for that A4 page you're preparing,

    這是很好的塞滿整頁A4紙的方式

  • but don't you think it is too much to just always mention your family members?

    但你不覺得每次都提到家人有點太多了嗎?

  • My suggestion is, your family members are crucial to your life.

    我的建議是,你的家人對你有多重要

  • We get it. Everybody's family members probably play a very important part in their life.

    我們都知道的。每個人的家人都有一定的重要性

  • However, if your family members' jobs or what they're currently doing

    但是如果家人的工作或是現在在做什麼

  • has nothing to do with what you are right now or the department that you're trying to get into,

    和你自己的現狀或是你要進入的科系沒有關係的話

  • then just leave them alone. You don't have to mention all of them.

    就放他們一把馬吧!不要提他們了

  • The point is why are you writing something that nobody wants to read,

    重點是,為什麼要寫出別人不想讀的

  • or after they read it, they think is a waste of time.

    或是讀了之後覺得浪費時間的內容呢?

  • The professors are more interested in you not your family members,

    教授們感興趣的是你,不是你的家人

  • unless your family members are super rich,

    除非你的家人超有錢

  • or super prominent in society. No No No.

    或是超重要。。。不不不。。。

  • That is still cheating. Don't do that.

    這樣是作弊,不要這樣做

  • So when you're doing your autobiography, try to leave your family members alone.

    所以當你在準備自傳時,放過你的家人吧!

  • Don't always mention them. You can probably talk about

    不要總是提到他們。 你可以談談

  • how many members you have in your family, but don't give us any details that is not required.

    家裡有多少人,但是不要給太多不必要的細節

  • And let's move on to Number Two.

    我們繼續看第二個

  • This is also very common when I am reading students autobiography.

    這也非常常見。我在看學生的自傳時

    他們會想要告訴我他們的孩提時期

  • their school life

    他們的學校生活

  • ,how they were born,

    他們何時出生的

    還有各個傷疤的歷史

  • I get it if you say that you want to tell everybody about everything that happens in your life.

    我能夠理解你想要告訴大家所有發生在你生活周遭的事

  • But don't you think it is going back too much?

    但是你不覺得這樣回溯太多了嗎?

  • You're applying for college,

    你申請的是大學

    大概都不太必要提

    但是我們更在乎你的高中生活

  • For example, what kind of clubs that you've joined?

    例如你參加了什麼樣的社團

  • What kind of special abilities you acquired in senior high school?

    你在高中學到了什麼特殊的專長

  • They are more to the present, which means they are the things that you should mention.

    他們比較近代,意思是這才是你應該提的

  • Don't dwell on the past too much. Don't trace back too much.

    不要沈耽往事,不要提當年勇

  • And let's move on to Number Three.

    我們繼續看第三個

  • I know you've probably accomplished a lot during your school life.

    我知道你在學校可能成就了許多事情

  • For example, if you were number one in a speech contest,

    例如你得到了演講比賽第一名

  • or you had some kind of scientific experiments, and you

    或是你在某個科學實驗中

  • you made a big breakthrough.

    然後你有什麼樣的突破

    只我知道在自傳中有許多你想要提到的事

  • because you want people to know,

    因為你想讓大家都知道

  • but think about it.

    但想想看

  • If you are talking about how good you were as a student, like you always aced your tests,

    如果你想要告訴人你是個好學生,例如你的考試都特優

  • then your report cards would say everything.

    那麼你的成績單不是都說了嗎?

  • So just try to mention those things that are relevant.

    所以只要提相關的事情就好

  • For example, if you are going to an English department,

    例如,如果你要申請進入英文科系

  • mention anything that is language related.

    就提些語言相關的內容吧

  • Don't talk about your math competition,

    不要提數學競賽

  • or your science experiments.

    或是你的科學實驗

  • They're not relevant. It is always recommended that for your English autobiography,

    他們沒關係吧!我們建議你的英文自傳

  • You have to make sure that everything fits into an A4 sized page,

    最好是能夠在一張A4大小的紙就好

  • so that is why we have to make sure that whatever you write down is necessary.

    所以這就是為什麼你寫的內容都要盡量是必須的

  • You might have a really colorful senior high school life.

    你的高中生活可能過得多采多姿

  • You might have won hundreds of prizes during those years,

    你可能在高中曾得過上百個獎項

  • but those things that are worth mentioning

    但值得提的應該是

  • should be the ones thatare relevant to whichever department that you are applying for.

    那些有關你要申請的科系的就好

  • So notice that unless it's gonna amaze people,

    所以要注意,除非能夠嚇到人

  • you don't have to mention them.

    沒關係的都不用提

  • You want people to look at that simple piece of paper,

    你希望人們看到那張自傳時

  • and know as much as possible about you.

    能夠馬上盡量多了解你

    我不知道,你可能要問學校老師
