I feel close to Duke for three reasons: its liveliness, passion, and rigorous academics. Duke does not have a history as long as some of the other schools in the country, yet this actually gives me a chance to create records both in academics and in student life. In addition, the strong school spirit of Duke really moves me. Every March, all university cheers for the Blue Devils on the basketball court, and the passion binds the diverse community as a whole. Last but not least, with the goal of becoming an accomplished applied mathematician in mind, I can definitely make the most of the opportunities offered by the Trinity College of Arts and Sciences. The solid program and knowledgeable professors here will fuel my dreams and guide me on the path ahead.

我觉得我和杜克大学很亲近有三个原因：它的活泼、热情和严谨的学术。杜克大学的历史不如该国其他一些学校长，但这实际上给了我一个机会，让我在学术和学生生活方面创造记录。此外，杜克大学强烈的校风也让我感动。每年三月，所有的大学都会在篮球场上为蓝魔鬼队喝彩，这种热情将整个多元化的社区联系在一起。最后但并非最不重要的一点是，为了成为一名有成就的应用数学家，我绝对可以充分利用三一文理学院提供的机会。这里扎实的课程和知识渊博的教授将为我的梦想加油，指引我前进的道路。

I am a problem-solver and volunteer, and these qualities should help me serve as a contributing member of the Duke community.
Two years ago, it was difficult for students at my high school to get satisfying lunches---the cafeteria was overcrowded at the time, yet the takeout services around the campus were in a chaotic state. Inspired by the advent of the mobile Internet, my partner and I founded X, a student company with the mission of presenting quality lunch options. After coding and negotiating for hundreds of hours, we succeeded in persuading most takeout delis in the neighborhood and even our own cafeteria to be listed on the platform. In this way, students could have lunches of their choice delivered to them with just a few taps on the smartphone screen.
As a volunteer, I am very grateful for what I have and feel obliged to help those less fortunate. For one, I have created Y, which aims at teaching my fellow students classroom knowledge and expanding their horizons. I want to bring my experience to Duke outreach programs like American Reads and Counts and Duke Engage. In this way, I can help people in the Durham community and many underserved communities around the world. I may even continue Y and recruit my classmates to teach the children in my hometown.

我是一名问题解决者和志愿者，这些品质应该有助于我成为杜克社区的一名有贡献的成员。
两年前，我所在高中的学生很难获得满意的午餐——当时自助餐厅人满为患，然而校园周围的外卖服务却处于混乱状态。受到移动互联网出现的启发，我和我的合作伙伴成立了X，这是一家学生公司，其使命是提供优质的午餐选择。经过数百个小时的编码和谈判，我们成功地说服了附近的大多数外卖熟食店，甚至我们自己的自助餐厅都被列入了这个平台。这样，学生只需轻触几下智能手机屏幕，就可以吃到自己选择的午餐。
作为一名志愿者，我非常感激我所拥有的一切，并感到有义务帮助那些不幸的人。首先，我创建了Y，旨在教授我的同学课堂知识，拓展他们的视野。我想把我的经验带到杜克大学的拓展项目中，比如《美国阅读与计数》和《杜克参与》。通过这种方式，我可以帮助达勒姆社区和世界各地许多服务不足的社区的人们。我甚至可以继续学习，招募我的同学来教我家乡的孩子们。

AADPS老师文书点评：有相当一部分美国大学的留学文书带有比较严格的字数限制。这种前提下，写作前首先要精心选择最有影响力的素材，遣词造句也要避免浪费空间，确保每个词都能落到点上。
家长感言：从孩子国际部的录取情况来看，近年来竞争已经是非常激烈了，往往变成了你上我下的零和游戏。AADPS的服务非常靠谱，为孩子申请拔得头筹，亲戚朋友我都有推荐。
