By the time a student starts to apply (申請) for a US university, much of his or her record, including grades and after-school activities, has been set in stone. For this reason, the student must in his or her first year of high school start getting ready for college. He or she also has to decide on the non-academic (非學業的) tasks, which are important to improve the student’s chances of getting in.
1. After-school activities
When it comes to high school activities, quality is better than quantity (數量). Admissions (錄取) officers do not want to see a student who has joined dozens of organizations (組織) for a short period of time.
Many students try to do this towards the end of their high school. But schools want to see a student who has been with one organization for all or most of high school. A student who can do this shows maturity (成熟). It is the quality that admissions officers look for as it is one of the markers of future success.
2. Leadership
Schools want to see a student who has taken on a leadership role in an organization. A student can show leadership by taking on any role that needs extra commitment (奉獻) and responsibility.
If you do not have a great title (頭銜) such as president, be sure to explain any leadership roles you have taken. This kind of involvement (參與) in school activities shows you are the responsible person that admissions officers look for.
3. Consistency (一致性)
Admissions officers like an application (申請) to be consistent. For example if there is a high school activity you particularly (特別地) love, it would help if that activity matches your future academic and career interest.
Of course not everything needs to be consistent. Otherwise (否則) the student would be narrow and this is not what schools are looking for. However, you cannot have different parts of your application saying conflicting (矛盾的) things.

在本次南非世界杯上發生了一件讓人意想不到的事情，由于一名法國隊隊員對教練態度粗暴，法國足協把他開除了。由于不滿這個結果，全體法國球員拒絕訓練。很多球迷對這件事展開了熱烈的討論：

一些人	1.       支持球員所做的。 2.       原因：  1）早就該到了對這個問題想出解決方案的時候了。 2）  教練應該給大家創造一個和諧的氣氛，這樣隊員才能盡力踢球。     3）足協領導應該認真對待所有球員的意見。      。。。。。。。。。。。
其他人	1.       反對球員的做法。 2.       原因:  1) 球員代表著國家來參賽，盡管有不同意見，他們應該把              自己的一切貢獻給法國和足球。    2）有了不同意見，應該就所發生的事情和教練認真談談， 以達成共識。     3）別的國家的隊員，球迷會因為這件事看不起法國隊，并笑話他們。           。。。。。。。。。。。

請就這件事上面的中文提示寫一篇文章，并發表自己的觀點。
