SEM Blog articles: Passports to the Future

Besides the academic tests, transcripts of records, extracurricular activities and other past school records, new students who are applying for their chosen universities or colleges will have to write SEM Blog articles too.

Through such write-ups, the SEM officer shall have a glimpse of the student’s capacity to generate ideas based on the particular topic. More so, such Blog articles will provide the reader with a basis as to how the applicants perform based on grammar, syntax, spelling, and other aspects of writing (which are very important to assess college readiness). Furthermore, the examinee’s ability to formulate mature ideas related to the subject will be captured.

Usually, these types of Blog articles focus more or less on basic questions that allow the students to describe themselves in various aspects. Other topics will allow them to explore their thoughts through opinions on certain issues. For instance, they might be asked to tell about why they have chosen the career they are gearing into.

Hence, through SEM Blog articles, some can have the chance to shine from the rest of the applicants by the power of their words. However, to do so, it does require enough creativity, style, as well as a great grasp of the language. To be able to catch the attention of the admission officer, they must develop original thoughts, outline, and state them with accuracy, brevity, and conciseness (just like in the ABC’s of writing).

Outlining will allow the students to brainstorm ideas logically. By pointing out the main ideas, then developing sub-details to the question or topic, they shall gain an edge. In this way, they will also master the flow of the article and henceforth, will have the opportunity to cut or emphasize on points that need editing later.

Now, being unique in presenting the ideas may sometimes seem hard. But once they know how to express concepts in their own words, or as to how they would be saying something, then they will have no problem. This is just like speaking according to their own language, though with limitations, of course, since they are about to present formally.

Aside from these, the applicants might also want to fill the reader’s mind with specific examples or concrete experiences. Besides the usual opinions, it will count a lot when they cite ideas ‘direct to the point.’ There should be no twists and turns when writing Blog articles such as this. Elaborate what needs to be explained further, but do not dwell too much on a topic when there is no need to extend the discussion.

Last, upon writing and finishing up to the last paragraph, there must still be room to furnish or proofread. SEM Blog articles must be checked for grammatical, punctuation, as well as spelling errors. By doing this, there will surely be a greater chance that such pieces of writing will serve as passports of the students to their future.
