<p>Sorry if this has been asked before; I haven’t been here much.</p>
<p>I noticed that the essay questions want you to “list” various things, e.g. books, films, concerts, etc. you like. Should I take the question completely literally and just list everything, or instead spend some words describing why I like those particular ones?</p>
