暑假是美本申请的黄金准备期。在紧张备考托福和SAT/ACT的同时，不少同学已经开始准备文书写作了，当然也有一些同学在参加夏令营、背景提升活动等，以便被自己的申请添砖加瓦。在准备文书以及填写网申的过程中，大家一定会碰到活动列表（Activities
List）这个东西。不少同学都反映他们不知道该如何搞定这个活动列表，因为网申里能填的字数实在是太有限了。而课外活动又是美本申请中很重要的一部分，如果你做的活动本身很精彩，但无法在活动列表中很好的展现给招生官，那岂不是很冤？
这里Tracy给大家分享一些如何填写活动列表的技巧吧：

一个是你这个活动的名称，你在活动中的角色和地位，这个只能填50个字符；另外，就是对你做的这个活动进行一个描述，包括你在活动中的收获、成绩以及获得的奖项等，这项内容只能填150个字符。
一个是你这个活动的名称，你在活动中的角色和地位，这个只能填50个字符；另外，就是对你做的这个活动进行一个描述，包括你在活动中的收获、成绩以及获得的奖项等，这项内容只能填150个字符。
怎么办？来看下面我给大家总结的建议：
Instead of: (top box) School
newspaper
(description box) I am the
editor for the school newspaper (And don’t repeat
words!)
Try: (top box) Editor of
International Column, School Newspaper
(description box) Responsible
for brainstorming, revising, and supervising articles by other
writers for my column.
2.
描述活动的时候要具体，强调一些有形的内容，描述活动影响的时候也要可量度（Emphasize tangible, measurable
impact）。比如：
Whom did your activity help?
How many people? How much money did you raise?
Instead of: Raised money for
children in Africa.
Try: Raised $3,000 to provide
three uniforms and scholarships for students attending the Joseph
Waweru Home School in Kenya
(http://www.exop.org/home_school.html).

3.
用主动式的动词来描述你在活动中具体做了什么，把你的task列出来。例：
Instead of: Worked at a clinic
doing different things.
Try: Organized patient
diagnosis notes, sterilized tools for surgeries, assisted with
x-ray analysis.
4. 为了填更多的信息，多用list,
不要使用完整的长句，去掉无用的单词。举个栗子：
Instead of: I raised money to
donate to a school in Ghana in Africa by selling t-shirts and
bracelets.
Try: Arranged advertising
events, organized fundraisers, and gave presentations at school
meetings.
5.
使用现在时态来描述来描述你还在继续从事的活动。比如：
Instead of: I helped tour
visitors around the campus and presented some information on school
history and student life.
Try: I give campus tours,
providing info on school history, student activities, boarding
life.
6.
如果你希望你的list可以多样化，就要确保减少使用多余的动词。比如：
Instead of: Instructing,
helping, teaching children tennis (这三个动词有啥不一样呢?)
Try: Instructing in proper
technique, while imparting lessons in sportsmanship, health and
integrity.
7.
描述你在活动中的职责以便来展现你的领导力。比如：
Instead of: I swim on the swim
team.
Try: Responsible for leading
swim practices, planning fundraising events; assisting in
recruiting process.
8.
如果这个活动实在没什么可说的或者是个一次性的活动该肿么办？
那就来解释这个活动的意义吧: who did the
event matter to and why?
Rather than: Tutored
students.
Try: Provided support to fourth
graders with particularly difficult math concepts.
9.
避免使用太极端的语言.。比如：
Instead of: to help all those
in need (or) to end poverty in the world
Try: to help those in need (or)
to aid in the fight against global poverty
10. 使用有“逼格”的单词或短语（bigger
words）。举个例子：
Instead of: “Come up with” (or)
“told people about”
Try: Develop, brainstorm (or)
advertised, marketed
再给大家提供一些栗子吧:
Important: list them in
descending level of importance.
