Question1 Required
题目1 必选题
文书题目：
How does the University of Chicago, as you know it now, satisfy your desire for a particular kind of learning, community, and future? Please address with some specificity your own wishes and how they relate to UChicago.
就你目前对它的了解而言，芝加哥大学是如何满足你对某种特定类型的学习体验，社群以及未来的渴望的？请在答案中详细叙述你自己的愿望以及它们与芝加哥大学的联系。
习美资深文书老师文书建议：
This is the most common supplemental essay prompt you’ll find. Universities want to know why you want to study at their institution. What goals do you have that align with the teachings of the university? What does the community offer that can help you achieve those goals? In other words, they want to know that you’ve done the research and actually understand what the university has to offer you, instead of applying because it is prestigious.
这是最常见的补充文书题目。大学会想知道你为什么希望进入他们的校园学习。你有什么个人目标是和该大学的教学较为契合的吗？在这个社群能提供的东西中，有什么是有助于你实现这些目标的吗？
On top of that, universities want to see that you know what your goals are and you see how that aligns with the university offerings. I mean, you wouldn’t apply to a university that doesn’t have an architecture program if you’re passionate about architecture, would you? So, think about what you want to gain out of the 4 years you have at college. If you’re not sure about what you want to study, that’s okay. You can think about the bigger picture: what are some skill sets or discipline that you want to be able to take away at the end of college.
总而言之，大学会想要看到一个明确地知道自己目标的学生，一个了解自己的目标是如何与该大学所能提供的资源相契合的学生。我是说，如果你对建筑学非常有热情，你当然在申请时，不会选择一所没有建筑学专业的大学。因此，你希望从四年的大学生活中收获什么，是需要考虑的问题。但是，即便你现在不确定你想要学什么，也没有关系。你可以考虑一些更宏观的层面：你希望在大学生活结束时收获何种知识与技能。
Just because this essay is common does not mean you have to be routine in your answer. For example, when I applied, I used this response to introduce my parents to the partner I would be marrying, the University of Chicago. I told them how the school and I were compatible, what I loved about them, and how we would be spending the rest of our lives together. While your extended essay is definitely a place to have fun and explore, this essay can be equally outlandish: just be sure to answer the question.
这篇文书很常见，但这并不意味着你的答案一定要很常规。举个例子，当我申请大学时，我在这个回答中向我的父母介绍了我将要迎娶的另一半——芝加哥大学。我告诉了他们这所学校和我是如何地相配，我爱它的哪里，以及我们将如何共度余生。尽管芝加哥的长文书是一个充满了探索与乐趣的所在，这篇文书也可以同样地别出心裁：只要记住回应问题就好了。
