If I were to be admitted to the University of Florida, the first thing I would like to do is to continue the Chinese traditional bakery club I hosted back in high school. I would go to Volunteers for International Student Affairs to find new friends who share my goal---promoting Chinese traditional desserts. Desserts can be a way for students to accept our club and its mission. Anyway, who does not enjoy a piece of delicious cake? Freely giving away baked goods would definitely be a nice start. At the same time, I would invite people to hang out in my club, hoping that they will find it agreeable and maybe join it later on. With recruits, we will discuss what we want to make, plan the budget, and set out the schedule. That way, guests can sign up for the specific events they want to attend. For one, we will host baking events weekly. There will also be special events during traditional Chinese festivals. I am sure the club can grow larger and larger after the first year. Besides just doing the old favorites, we would also like to innovate, blending the modern techniques or Western baking styles into our work. We will periodically update our official Instagram as a way of sharing and promoting.

Home baking is very popular throughout the United States. My host mother loves to bake but she is only able to bake western desserts like banana bread or apple pie. She loves Asian cuisine and desserts, but sometimes procedures can be hard to follow and recipe quality can be difficult to judge due to the lack of ingredients. So once my club rolls on its own, my second task is to develop a smartphone app for making traditional Chinese desserts. The ultimate goal of the app is to ensure that every user receives the best and most accurate information on the art of Chinese bakery. I conceived this idea thanks to the inspiration of cooking videos on YouTube. Sometimes these videos take too long to watch, but with recipes only, it may get hard to visualize what it likes. Our app can solve all these hassles. We will list the ingredients and quantities one by one. But when it comes to important steps, short video clips will be inserted. In this way, all confusions can be clarified by multimedia with ease. We will also add a timer feature and closely integrate it into the app, for timing is really important in Chinese baking. And there is one more thing... The internal checklist will direct the users to the nearest stores, should they run out of specific ingredients. The price tags and distances will be displayed, too. Users can also choose from various online grocery options and make an order directly. No service fee is charged at all!

The third thing I would like to do is to play softball at UF. I did not have such an opportunity in China, but I often played the game when I was an exchange student at a Texas high school. I am an amateur because I had just tried the sport out and understood the rules right before I headed back to China. This was a real regret, but I will be able to make it up and am so glad that UF has an excellent softball club of which I want to become a part.

留学文书译文(机翻):

如果我被佛罗里达大学录取,我想做的第一件事就是继续我高中时主办的中国传统面包俱乐部。我会去国际学生事务志愿者那里寻找和我有共同目标的新朋友——推广中国传统甜点。甜点可以成为学生接受我们俱乐部及其使命的一种方式。总之,谁不喜欢一块美味的蛋糕呢?免费赠送烘焙食品肯定是一个很好的开始。同时,我会邀请人们在我的俱乐部里闲逛,希望他们会觉得很愉快,也许以后会加入。我们将与新员工讨论我们想要做什么,规划预算,并制定时间表。这样,客人就可以报名参加他们想参加的特定活动。首先,我们将每周举办烘焙活动。在中国传统节日期间还将有特别活动。我相信俱乐部在第一年后会越来越大。除了做旧的最爱,我们还想创新,将现代技术或西方烘焙风格融入到我们的工作中。我们将定期更新官方Instagram,作为分享和推广的一种方式。

家庭烘焙在美国非常流行。我的寄宿母亲喜欢烘烤,但她只能烘烤香蕉面包或苹果派等西方甜点。她喜欢亚洲美食和甜点,但有时由于缺少配料,程序很难遵循,食谱质量也很难判断。所以,一旦我的俱乐部独立运作,我的第二项任务就是开发一款用于制作传统中国甜点的智能手机应用程序。该应用程序的最终目标是确保每个用户都能获得有关中国面包艺术的最佳和最准确的信息。我是在YouTube上烹饪视频的启发下想出这个主意的。有时这些视频看起来时间太长,但如果只看食谱,可能很难想象它喜欢什么。我们的应用程序可以解决所有这些麻烦。我们将逐一列出配料和数量。但当涉及到重要步骤时,将插入简短的视频剪辑。这样,所有的困惑都可以通过多媒体轻松解决。我们还将添加计时器功能,并将其紧密集成到应用程序中,因为计时在中式烘焙中非常重要。还有一件事。。。如果用户的特定成分用完了,内部检查表将引导用户前往最近的商店。还将显示价格标签和距离。用户还可以从各种在线杂货店选项中进行选择,并直接下单。不收取任何服务费!

我想做的第三件事是在佛罗里达大学打垒球。我在中国没有这样的机会,但我在德克萨斯州的一所高中做交换生时经常玩这个游戏。我是一名业余爱好者,因为在我回中国之前,我刚刚尝试了这项运动,并了解了规则。这是一个真正的遗憾,但我将能够弥补,我很高兴佛罗里达大学有一个优秀的垒球俱乐部,我想成为其中的一员。

AADPS老师文书点评:在留学文书中说中国文化可能比较容易撞车,也不大能写出新意。一种可能的破题方法是利用自己比较有心得的课外活动顺带凸显所谓cultural identity,用细节和梦想来烘托出自己的热情。

家长感言:AADPS,谁用谁知道,用过都说好!
