<p>Hi, I am from Mongolia. I have ) for my essay2 choices (at the moment topic:
1. I will write about Mongolia. How did this country influenced me and how was my surrounding all these years.
2. I participated for the International Olympiad in Informatics 2005. Maybe i could write about this event. How i got involved. How was my impression and etc. </p>
<p>which one do you prefer? Could you suggest me something. Can i mix these two topics, i mean, tell them both of them.</p>
<p>i think you should only focus on one. Essays are always better if they are more specific. And i think you should choose the first one, since it is more personal.
maybe you could add the second one in "why this major?" if you want to major in that area.</p>
<p>Mongolia definitely.</p>
<p>How many people do you think have been in olympiads or many other academic tournaments and are going to write about it? </p>
<p>A lot.</p>
<p>How many of those people have been to Mongolia?</p>
<p>My guess is close to none.</p>
<p>I'm writing about Thailand myself. From a Russian's perspective. We are all a result of the environment we grow up in, so how can you notmention it as a significant attribute of your life?</p>
<p>Definitely the first one. The second one has the potential to be boring and cliche. The first one could be really interesting because not many people know about a lot about Mongolia. That could be a way to draw the readers in.</p>
<p>wow thanks a lot ppl. On what issue should i write about Mongolia. The way it influenced me? or any idea?</p>
<p>don't describe mongolia. describe what mongolia means to you, and why are you the way you are today.</p>
<p>Can i talk little about Mongolia's history. The warriors of 13-th century, riding horse on a steppe land, invading half of the world, whose leader was the great Genghis khan. But 21-th century, I am the one who is the grandson of one of those warriors. Very eager to lead the world (of course not by riding and invading countries). I can write about how is Mongolia nowadays. And how all these social, politic and economic difficulties influenced me to have a strong desire to change Mongolia, and a strong desire to study well. So whats your opinion.</p>

one paragraph at most. you just want to link the past to yourself, you don't want to talk about the past.</p>
<p>yeah i am writing about the history because i want to link it. Maybe i think it will be interesting for some readers.</p>
<p>interesting but not revealing about yourself. not good. :)</p>
<p>i will not mention it a lot. I will mention the history in one, or maximum 2 two sentences. Then I think i will write about myself and nowadays.</p>
<p>So what do you think guys? Any suggestions?</p>
<p>I think as long as you keep the focus on YOU, it will be good. If you can describe the history and then make a parallel to yourself that would be better. It needs to explain what about Mongolia makes you you and different from everyone else.</p>
