这个是今年Common App的第五个Essay promot:
Discuss an accomplishment or event, formal or informal, that marked your transition from childhood to adulthood within your culture, community, or family.
网上搜索了一下,其中一篇分析这样说的:
You are prepared to take responsibility for your own actions, live away from home, manage your own time, and make the proper decisions to succeed in your endeavors. You're suggesting that you will be respectful of others, you'll work to negotiate differences with roommates and classmates, and that you will be a contributing member of a campus community. In short, your essay for option five needs to reveal the type of personal growth that suggests you're ready for the next, more independent stage of your life.
另外还提到:
The end of prompt number five -- "within your culture, community, or family" -- is simply a recognition that "adulthood" is a social construct. In other words, you don't become an adult in isolation. The definition of "child" and "adult" is set by a group to which you belong -- your family, community, or culture. You become an adult when the people who surround you recognize your actions and behavior as adult-like.
搜索了一下中文网,这个说的比较精辟:
【心理成熟的特征】1.有主见,不埋怨,少是非。2.欣赏自己,但不追求完美。3.面带微笑、宽容别人。4.明白事情并不是非黑则白,还有很多中间状态。5.不与别人比较。6.沟通最难但还要多沟通。7.知道好动机未必好结果。8.永远有梦想,有梦想就有希望。9.知道做好人很难,但仍要做好人。
上面说的我都认同,除此之外,我个人深切感受是,一个成熟的人应该有换位思考的思维方式,接受世界是多样性的,人和人是不一样的,因而完全可以有不同的观点和看法。
大家以为呢?
大家就今年大学Common App第五个Essay Prompt来讨论一下成熟的特征
所有跟帖:
•
接受世界是多样的,不能算成熟得标准吧,有人就是在保守的环境下长大的,不接受多样,不等于她不成熟。

理解这种情况,但这种人在多元化环境可能就表现得太单纯了

坦率地说,你不把孩子悬的原因说一下解释一下,同时也让大家受教,你还不如不说。

我觉得这些标准很好。已经是对成人里面的优秀类的的标准了。成熟的孩子有这么多好特质不容易。

孩子自己写,大人帮忙分析挖掘一下,其实对做父母的也是一学习过程

中文那些,除非你从zen之类的角度去写还能抓眼球。否则读者会糊涂的。面带微笑,宽容别人。高中生这样可怎么竞争啊。
