适合学生

Recommended to Students

- 有志于提升写作能力

- 模拟大学申请文书写 (迷你回忆录写作比赛的写作要求与大学申请文书写作相似，参赛可以提升申请者“叙事文”和“议论文”的写作能力，帮助提升今后的大学申请个人陈述。)

- 充实大学申请课外活动背景

- Aiming for developing writing skills

- Simulating college application essay writing (the essence between the two is similar, meaning students can develop their narrative and persuasive writing skills, which is key to writing good personal statements.)

- Enriching extracurricular activity profile
