Top 10 Must-do’s for Rising Seniors

即將升入高三的學(xué)生暑假必做的十件事

Posted on June 13, 2014 by Kenley Turville

Listen up, rising seniors! Summer will fly by, and the first day of school will be here before you know it! I’ve listed my top 10 suggestions for you to do over these next few months. Here we go!

各位即將升入高三的同學(xué)請(qǐng)注意了！暑假會(huì)轉(zhuǎn)瞬即逝，一眨眼就要開(kāi)學(xué)，因此，以下是我列出的建議你們暑假的幾個(gè)月做的重要的十件事：

1. Write a draft of your personal statement. I know, I know. This can be overwhelming. But once you get that first draft completed, it will (mostly) be smooth sailing from there. You’ll provide yourself with plenty of time to edit.

1. 寫(xiě)申請(qǐng)文書(shū)的第一稿。我知道這對(duì)于大家來(lái)說(shuō)是件艱巨的事，但是當(dāng)你寫(xiě)完第一稿之后，以后就容易多了。你將會(huì)有足夠的時(shí)間去修改。

2. Brainstorm letter of recommendation writers. Who likes you? Who knows you well? Who thinks that you are a solid student? Make a list.

2. 考慮一下找誰(shuí)寫(xiě)推薦信。誰(shuí)喜歡你？誰(shuí)了解你？誰(shuí)認(rèn)為你是個(gè)好學(xué)生？列出這些人。

3. Ask recommendation writers. You can do this toward the end of summer. Give them plenty of time to write these letters of recommendation. Make sure they’re aware of your deadlines and discuss what you’d like them to address. You might even consider giving them a copy of your resume.

3. 去找推薦人。這件事可以在暑假最后做，但確保給他們足夠的時(shí)間來(lái)寫(xiě)這些推薦信。確保他們知道你的申請(qǐng)截止時(shí)間，并告訴他們你希望他們?cè)谛胖刑峒澳切┓矫?。給他們一份你的簡(jiǎn)歷也許會(huì)更有幫助。

4. Make a list of colleges you’re interested in and why. For most schools you’ll need to complete a school-specific writing component. For CommonApp schools it will be located in the supplement. Identifying exactly why that school interests you will help with writing these supplemental essays in the fall.

4. 列出你感興趣的大學(xué)和原因。大部分大學(xué)會(huì)有該校自己出的文書(shū)題目，對(duì)于所有common系統(tǒng)的學(xué)校，這部分屬于申請(qǐng)表的補(bǔ)充部分。認(rèn)清為什么某所學(xué)校特別令你感興趣會(huì)幫助你寫(xiě)好這些補(bǔ)充文書(shū)。

5. Take a look at application checklists of the schools on your list. Do any of them have supplemental materials? Do you need to create a portfolio? Is an interview required? Make sure you’re aware of what a completed application is.

5. 把你選出的大學(xué)要求準(zhǔn)備的所有材料清單先看看。哪些要求附加材料？你需要提交作品集嗎？要面試嗎？確保你知道一份完整的申請(qǐng)要包括哪些材料。

6. Sign up for communication from schools on your list. You’ll want to make sure that you know when they’ll be visiting your school or holding a reception in your area. They’ll also send updates about the application and admission process, and most importantly, they’ll remind you when applications are due!

6. 加入你想申請(qǐng)學(xué)校的通訊錄。這樣你就能知道他們什么時(shí)候會(huì)來(lái)你們學(xué)?；蛘咴谀闼诘牡貐^(qū)有交流會(huì)。他們也會(huì)發(fā)給你關(guān)于申請(qǐng)和錄取的最新消息。最重要的是，他們會(huì)提醒你什么時(shí)候你必須提交申請(qǐng)了！

7. Read the newspaper and watch the news. It is important to understand what is going on in the world around you. You might be asked questions about current events in admission interviews. It will help with discussions in your classes and in conversations with admission counselors. Download the app of your favorite news publication and read the news daily.

7. 讀報(bào)紙看新聞。了解時(shí)事對(duì)你來(lái)說(shuō)很重要。在錄取過(guò)程中你可能被問(wèn)到關(guān)于時(shí)事的問(wèn)題。在班上和同學(xué)討論以及和申請(qǐng)輔導(dǎo)老師交流對(duì)此會(huì)有幫助。閱讀你最喜歡的新聞刊物并且堅(jiān)持天天看。

8. Read a book (or 10!) for pleasure. Do you have a book on your bed stand that is collecting dust because you haven’t had time to read it? Find the time this summer. I am currently reading Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns) by Mindy Kaling. Hilarious. Read that book you’ve wanted to read for a while. It will keep your brain working this summer, you might discover new interests, and you might even learn an SAT vocabulary word or two!

8. 讀一本（或者十本）喜歡的書(shū)！你床頭是否有本書(shū)已經(jīng)集滿了灰塵因?yàn)槟銢](méi)時(shí)間讀？今年暑假找時(shí)間讀它。目前我正在讀Mindy Kaling 寫(xiě)的Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns)。逗極了。讀你一直想讀的書(shū)吧。讀書(shū)可以讓你的大腦不生銹，而且你可能會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)新的興趣，甚至學(xué)幾個(gè)SAT單詞！

9. Exercise. Be physically active daily! Endorphins are chemicals in your body that act as your body’s rewards system and they make you feel oh-so good. They are released when you exercise, so get moving! My favorite is a quick run around my neighborhood, but find what exercise you enjoy!

9. 鍛煉。每天都要積極鍛煉！內(nèi)啡肽是你身體中幫助你感覺(jué)良好的化學(xué)物質(zhì)。但是只有鍛煉才使它們得以釋放，因此一定要積極鍛煉！我個(gè)人最喜歡的是繞小區(qū)快跑，但是你可以選擇任何你喜歡的鍛煉方式。

10. Learn yoga or meditation or another form of stress relief. Senior year can be stressful. Develop skills this summer that will help you to manage the stress that you may have this fall. Yoga and meditation are healthy ways to deal with it, so learn a few poses and how to take calming, cleansing breaths. It is imperative that you stay healthy and happy, so learn these techniques!

Most of all make sure your summer is fun! Make sure you take time for you. There is a lot asked of you as you conclude your high school career and prepare for college. These tips should help alleviate some of that heavy workload. Good luck!

10. 學(xué)瑜伽或者冥想或者其它一種減壓方法。高三的生活可能壓力會(huì)非常大。趁暑假學(xué)習(xí)減壓方法以應(yīng)對(duì)秋季。瑜伽和冥想是對(duì)付壓力非常健康的方法，所以學(xué)幾個(gè)動(dòng)作以及如何平穩(wěn)放松地呼吸。保持健康和快樂(lè)最重要，所以要學(xué)習(xí)這些方法。

總之，還是希望你們過(guò)一個(gè)愉快的暑假！給自己留足夠的時(shí)間。在你結(jié)束高中生活開(kāi)始大學(xué)生活之前有許多事是你必須做的。這些建議應(yīng)該幫助你減輕一點(diǎn)這些繁重的負(fù)擔(dān)。祝大家好運(yùn)！
