미국 대학 입학 에세이를 망치는 잘못된 단어 선택 리스트

커먼 앱 에세이 Common App Application

대학 지원 에세이 작성을 대학 합격의 당락을 결정하는 매우 중요한 키 입니다.

그렇기 때문에 에세이 하나를 작성하는 데, 신중하지 않을 수 없으며, 그만큼 정성이 들어가요.

학생들은 에세이의 본인의 역량을 다 하고, 본인의 지적인 면을 과시 혹은 보여주기 위해 흐름에 맞지 않는 단어를 선택하거나 잘 사용하지 않는 단어를 넣기도 합니다.

이러한 단어 선택의 오류는 훌륭한 에세이 작성을 망치는 큰 실수 중 하나가 됩니다.

에세이는 물 흐르는 듯 부드러워야 하며 누가 읽더라도 거부감이 없고, 실수가 없어야 합니다.

즉 문맥의 적절한 단어 선택과, 혼돈되는 단어들을 실수 없이 정확하게 작성하여 입학 심사관이 글의 기술적 오류가 아닌, 오로지 에세이 내용에만 집중할 수 있도록 해야 하겠습니다.

 

아래의 단어들은 학생들이 에세이 작성 시 종종 실수하는 혼동되는 단어들입니다.

매끄러운 에세이 작성을 위해, 혼돈되는 단어들의 정확한 뜻을 이해하고 정확하게 사용해야겠습니다.
