1）Describe an example of your leadership experience in which you have positively influenced others, helped resolve disputes or contributed to group efforts over time.
描述一起个人领导经历的例子，在这些经历中，随着时间的推移，你对他人产生了积极的影响，帮助解决了争端，或者为团队努力做出了贡献。

Things to consider:

A leadership role can mean more than just a title. It can mean being a mentor to others, acting as the person in charge of a specific task, or taking the lead role in organizing an event or project. Think about what you accomplished and what you learned from the experience. What were your responsibilities?
领导角色不仅仅意味着头衔。它可以是别人的导师，可以是具体任务的负责人，也可以是组织活动或项目的带头人。想想你取得了什么成就，从这次经历中学到了什么。你的职责是什么？

Did you lead a team? How did your experience change your perspective on leading others? Did you help to resolve an important dispute at your school, church, in your community or an organization? And your leadership role doesn’t necessarily have to be limited to school activities. For example, do you help out or take care of your family?
你带队了吗？你的经历如何改变了你对领导他人的看法？您是否帮助解决了学校、教堂、社区或组织中的重要纠纷？你的领导角色不一定局限于学校活动。例如，帮忙或是照顾家人的过程中的领导力展现。

2）Every person has a creative side, and it can be expressed in many ways: problem solving, original and innovative thinking, and artistically, to name a few. Describe how you express your creative side.
个人都有创造性的一面，它可以用很多方式表现出来：解决问题、原创思维、艺术等等。
描述一下你是如何表达你创造性的一面的。

Things to consider:

What does creativity mean to you? Do you have a creative skill that is important to you? What have you been able to do with that skill? If you used creativity to solve a problem, what was your solution? What are the steps you took to solve the problem?
“创造力对你意味着什么？”你有没有一种对你来说很重要的创造性技能？你用这项技能能做什么呢？如果你用创造力来解决问题，你的解决方案是什么？你采取了哪些步骤来解决这个问题？

How does your creativity influence your decisions inside or outside the classroom? Does your creativity relate to your major or a future career?
你的创造力如何影响你在课堂内外的决定？你的创造力与你的专业或未来的职业有关吗？

3）What would you say is your greatest talent or skill? How have you developed and demonstrated that talent over time?
你认为你最大的天赋或技能是什么？随着时间的推移，你是如何发展和展示这种才华的？

Things to consider:

If there’s a talent or skill that you’re proud of, this is the time to share it. You don’t necessarily have to be recognized or have received awards for your talent (although if you did and you want to talk about it, feel free to do so). Why is this talent or skill meaningful to you?
如果有你引以为豪的天赋或技能，现在是分享的时候了。你不一定要因为你的才华而获得认可或获奖(尽管如果你获得了认可，并且你想谈论这件事，尽管你可以自由地这么做)。
为什么这种天赋或技能对你有意义？

Does the talent come naturally or have you worked hard to develop this skill or talent? Does your talent or skill allow you opportunities in or outside the classroom? If so, what are they and how do they fit into your schedule?
该天赋是天生的，还是你努力培养出来的技能或才华？你的才华或技能更倾向于应用在课堂内还是其他地方？如果是应用于课堂内的话，这些技能是什么？它们将如何适应您的日程安排？

4）Describe how you have taken advantage of a significant educational opportunity or worked to overcome an educational barrier you have faced.
描述你是如何利用一个重要的教育机会或努力克服你所面临的教育障碍的。

Things to consider:

An educational opportunity can be anything that has added value to your educational experience and better prepared you for college. For example, participation in an honors or academic enrichment program, or enrollment in an academy that’s geared toward an occupation or a major, or taking advanced courses that interest you — just to name a few.
教育机会可以是任何可以增加你的教育经历并为你的大学做好更好准备的东西。例如，参加一个荣誉或学术充实计划，或者进入一所面向职业或专业的学院，或者参加你感兴趣的高级课程等等。

If you choose to write about educational barriers you’ve faced, how did you overcome or strive to overcome them? What personal characteristics or skills did you call on to overcome this challenge? How did overcoming this barrier help shape who are you today?如果你选择写你所面临的教育障碍，你是如何克服或努力克服这些障碍的？你需要哪些个人特征或技能来克服这一挑战？克服这一障碍是如何帮助塑造今天的你的呢？

5）Describe the most significant challenge you have faced and the steps you have taken to overcome this challenge. How has this challenge affected your academic achievement?
描述你面临的最重大的挑战，以及你为克服这一挑战而采取的步骤。这个挑战对你的学业成绩有什么影响？

Things to consider:

A challenge could be personal, or something you have faced in your community or school. Why was the challenge significant to you? This is a good opportunity to talk about any obstacles you’ve faced and what you’ve learned from the experience. Did you have support from someone else or did you handle it alone?
挑战可能是个人的，也可能是你在社区或学校遇到过的。为什么这个挑战对你很重要？这是一个很好的机会，可以谈谈你遇到过的任何障碍，以及你从这次经历中学到了什么。你是得到了别人的支持，还是你一个人处理这件事？

If you’re currently working your way through a challenge, what are you doing now, and does that affect different aspects of your life? For example, ask yourself, “How has my life changed at home, at my school, with my friends or with my family?”
如果你目前正在努力应对挑战，你现在在做什么，这会影响到你生活的不同方面吗？
例如，问问你自己，“我在家里、在学校、和朋友或家人的生活都发生了什么变化？”

6）Think about an academic subject that inspires you. Describe how you have furthered this interest inside and/or outside of the classroom.
考虑一门可以激发你灵感的学术科目，描述一下你是如何在课堂内外促进这种兴趣的。

Things to consider:

Many students have a passion for one specific academic subject area, something that they just can’t get enough of. If that applies to you, what have you done to further that interest? Discuss how your interest in the subject developed and describe any experience you have had inside and outside the classroom — such as volunteer work, internships, employment, summer programs, participation in student organizations and/or clubs — and what you have gained from your involvement.
许多学生对某一特定学科领域充满热情。如果这适用于你，你做了什么来促进你的兴趣呢？
讨论你对这门学科的兴趣是如何发展起来的，并描述你在课堂内外的任何经历-例如志愿者工作、实习、就业、暑期计划、参加学生组织和/或俱乐部-以及你从参与中获得了什么。

Has your interest in the subject influenced you in choosing a major and/or future career? Have you been able to pursue coursework at a higher level in this subject (honors, AP, IB, college or university work)? Are you inspired to pursue this subject further at UC, and how might you do that?
你对这门学科的兴趣是否影响了你选择专业和/或未来的职业？你有没有能力在这门课上攻读更高层次的课程(荣誉、AP、IB、学院或大学课程)？你是否受到了在加州大学进一步研究这一主题的启发，你会如何做到这一点？

7）What have you done to make your school or your community a better place?
你的哪些作为让你的学校或社区变得更好？

Things to consider:

Think of community as a term that can encompass a group, team or a place — like your high school, hometown or home. You can define community as you see fit, just make sure you talk about your role in that community. Was there a problem that you wanted to fix in your community?
可以把社区想象成一个术语，可以包括一个团体、团队或一个地方-比如你的高中、家乡或家。你可以按照你认为合适的方式来定义社区，只要确保你谈论你在该社区中的角色即可。你想在你的社区里解决什么问题吗？

Why were you inspired to act? What did you learn from your effort? How did your actions benefit others, the wider community or both? Did you work alone or with others to initiate change in your community?
为什么你会受到启发去做这些事情？你从你的努力中学到了什么？你的行为如何造福于他人、更广泛的社区或两者兼而有之？您是单独工作还是与其他人一起在您的社区中发起变革？

8）Beyond what has already been shared in your application, what do you believe makes you stand out as a strong candidate for admissions to the University of California?
除了在申请表中已经分享的内容之外，你认为是什么让你在加州大学的录取中脱颖而出？

Things to consider:

If there’s anything you want us to know about you, but didn’t find a question or place in the application to tell us, now’s your chance. What have you not shared with us that will highlight a skill, talent, challenge or opportunity that you think will help us know you better?
如果您想让我们了解您的任何信息，但在申请中找不到问题或位置可以告诉我们，现在就是您的机会。您认为哪些技能、才华、挑战或机会会帮助我们更好地了解您，您有哪些未与我们分享的内容？

From your point of view, what do you feel makes you an excellent choice for UC? Don’t be afraid to brag a little.
