(2016·石家庄市复习教学质量检测)You want your essay to be the one that is passed around the admissions office or not? Its a little bit like the difference between being famous and infamous. Here are some basic tips to avoid that infamous essay：

　　● Dont write the “safe” essay.

　　__1__ It could be something that others have also experienced, but make sure to say how it affected you. Something personal and unique never fails to stand out.

　　● Avoid the generic and get specific.

　　Never write that you’re “well rounded” or that “many people have influenced” you. __2__ Real and specific experiences are a lot more convincing than something you copy from the Internet.

　　● __3__

　　There is no need to share your participation level (hours per week and weeks per year) because colleges ask for that information on your activity list. It is important for the students to use every opportunity to show who they are and impress the admissions office.

　　● Don’t talk about rankings.

　　Many students love focusing on the numbers when they are writing their “why this college” essay. They believe they are flattering (讨好) the college by saying the reason why they want to attend is that the college is highly ranked in US News & World Report. Obviously schools are aware of their rankings. __4__

　　● Don’t complain.
