【招生季】国外大学的这些 “隐形” 要求,你知道吗?



Chinese students who attend university in the West need specific skills and habits to succeed. Foremost among the skills is self-discipline. However, many Chinese students often stay up all night talking to friends or family at home. Video game addiction has also become a problem of undergraduate students. These students “game” with their friends in China or somewhere else in the world. They play through the night, and then don’t attend classes. The result is failing grades and being forced to return to China.
对于中国学生而言,上西方大学也是需要一些特定的技能和习惯才能够留学成功。在这些当中最重要的是自律。但是,许多中国学生经常整夜熬夜与家里的朋友或家人聊天。电子游戏成瘾也已经成为大学生的问题。这些学生与中国或世界其他地方的朋友“玩游戏”。有时候玩了一整夜,而且不上课。结果就是成绩不及格,被迫返回中国。

Chinese students must speak and participate in class at western universities because participation is graded. Also, students collaborate with their peers and sometimes their professors. This is one of the ways they learn critical thinking and creative expression: by analyzing, developing their own opinions and applying different approaches to problem solving.
到国外上大学,学生必须要张口说并参加课堂学习,因为学生的参与度最终也是会被计入成绩的。此外,学生与同伴甚至有时与教授合作,这是他们学习批判性思维和创造性表达的一种方式:通过分析,形成自己的观点并采用不同的方法来解决问题。

Writing in English is one of the most important skills Chinese students will learn. Learning to write well in English includes using footnotes so sources are credited, reading information and reformulating it in your own words, composing different types of essays: argumentative, comparative, persuasive, critical, factual. Chinese students should anticipate spending a lot of time writing papers. need additional assistance with writing or you would benefit from tutoring, visit the Academic Support Center for help
英语写作是中国学生需要学习的最重要技能之一。学习如何写出好的英语,包括使用补充说明并标注出来源;阅读参考文件后用你自己的话来重新编写信息;撰写不同类型的论文:论据文、比较文、劝说性文章、批判性文章、事实性文章。学生应该要知道将来自己会花费大量时间来撰写论文。有时候可能也会需要其他写作方面的帮助,或者会在一些辅导中获益,有时候也可以向访问学术支持中心寻求帮助。

Many Chinese students say that developing the habit of going to the Learning Center or Academic Support Center made them successful. Taking responsibility for your absences from class is also important so if you have to be absent find out what work you missed and complete it. Finally, meet your deadlines. If you know you are going to miss a deadline inform the professor ahead of time.
许多赴国外留学的学生说,去学习中心或学术支持中心学习的这个习惯使得他们留学成功。在西方大学的课堂上,班级考勤也很重要,要重视班级缺勤。因此,如果你确实有事情需要请假,请整理出你落下的功课并补上,然后在截止日期之前完成作业。如果你认为你不能够截止日期之前完成,请提前通知你的教授。

Joy students are prepared to meet the demands of university standards because they learn good habits. The teachers urge students to shut down their computers by or before midnight. Teachers also emphasize the importance of communicating and taking personal responsibility. Joy students take literature and history as well as other classes in English so their language steadily improves. The students who have graduated from Joy International have been successful at different universities in Europe and America because of what they learned here.
嘉洋国际学校的学生有良好的学习习惯,因此对于国外大学的要求和大学的一些标准,也做好了准备。老师督促学生在半夜或半夜之前必须关闭电脑。老师还给学生强调沟通和承担个人责任的重要性。嘉洋的学生学习文学和历史以及其他用英语授课的课程,因此他们的语言稳步提高。由于在嘉洋学到的知识和养成的习惯,从嘉洋国际学校毕业的学生都在欧洲和美国的不同大学取得了成功。
