Passage Two

Parents and teachers will tell you not to worr)1 wlien applying for a place at a university. But in the same breath we will remind you that it is the most important decision of your life. The first decision is your choice of course. It will depend on what you want to get out of university, what you are good at and what you enjoy. The next decision is where to apply. Aim high but within reason. Do you have the right combinalion of subjects and are your expected grades likely to meet entry requirements? The deadline is January 15th. But it is best to submit your application early because universities begin work as soon as forms start rolling in. The most important part of the application is the much feared personal statement. This is your chance to convey boundless enthusiasm for the subject. So economy of expression is foremost. Omit dull and ineffective generalities and make sure you give concrete examples. Admissions officers read ever>r personal statement that arrives. It is not convincing if you say you have chosen the subject because you enjoy it. You have to get across what it is about a particular area that has inspired you. They will look for evidence that you have reflected and thought about the subject. Appli- cants should be honest. There is no point saying you run marathons, if you are going to be out of breath arriving at the interview on the second floor. 

19. What is the first decision you should make in preparing to apply for a place at a university?

20.What is the most important part of the application?

21.What must applicants do in their personal statements?

19. B) What course you are going to choose

20. D) The personal statement

21. C） Indicate they have reflected and thought about the subject

家长和老师可能会安慰你不用担心大学申请的事情。

但是，话音未落他们就会提醒你这是你一生中最重要的一次决定。

你要做的第一个决定当然就是选择。

这要根据你想从大学学到什么、你擅长什么、喜欢什么而定。

下一个决定就是申请哪所学校。

要有雄心但也要理性。

你现在所学的科目以及学业成绩与目标学校的要求是否匹配呢？

报名截止日期是1月15日。

但是你提交申请越早越好，因为一旦有学生提交申请，学校就会开始审核工作。

申请过程中最重要的一项，也是学生们最畏惧的一项就是个人陈述。

个人陈述给你提供了一个表达你对所选学科无限热情的机会。

因此，言词精简是重点。

避免概括性的无用之词，给出具体的实例。

招生人员会读每一封收到的个人陈述。

如果你说你选该学科是出于喜欢，这将很不具说服力。

你需要让读者领会到它到底哪方面激发了你的兴趣。

他们会在其中寻找证据证明你对所选的科目有过深度的思考。

申请人需要诚实。

如果你连爬两层楼来面试都累得气喘吁吁，那么你说你常跑马拉松就毫无意义了。

请根据刚刚听到的内容回答19-21题。

问题19：申请大学时你需要做的第一个决定是什么？

问题20：申请流程中最重要的一部分是什么？

问题21：学生们写个人陈述时必须怎样？
