8大示例回答，4个注意误区，手把手教你回答Common App 新增疫情题

Common App今年在系统中的“附加信息”一栏，新增了一道可选的250字疫情题，让学生详细描述今年的新冠疫情对于自己的影响。

而临近很多大学的截止日，越来越多同学对于这道题感到很纠结，到底该不该答？应该如何回答呢？

题目解析

题目原文：新冠肺炎影响了社区正常运作，带来深刻、长远的影响。如果有需要，你可以借此机会描述你受到的影响。你的身心健康、人身安全、家庭状况、未来计划、学业教育（比如是否拥有稳定的网络和安静的学习空间）受到了怎样的影响？这是大学非常关注的问题。

如果选择“Yes”，系统将会出现一个250字部分，可以用来填写内容。

单击“COVID-19 FAQ”，会出现一些对于题目的详细解释，具体内容如下：

COVID-19 has affected students in dramatically different ways. If you need it, the COVID-19 and natural disaster question in the Additional Information section is a place for you to describe the impact of these events.

The question is not intended to be an extra essay. There’s also no need to describe how your school responded to these events. Your counselor will have an opportunity to discuss impacts like closures, online instruction, and grading policies. Instead, consider how these events may have impacted you, your family, and your learning environment. Examples might include:

-Illness or loss within your family or support network

-Employment or housing disruptions within your family

-Food insecurity

-Toll on mental and emotional health

-New obligations such as part-time work or care for siblings or family members

-Availability of computer or internet access required to continue your studies

-Access to a safe and quiet study space

-A new direction for your major or career interests

根据这些提示，学生可以参照自己生活中实际发生的改变，作出解答。总的原则是：如果你确实在重要方面受到了COVID-19的影响，并且觉得大学应该知道，那么可以选择回答。
