So imminent!!The last shot for essay,Have you got your backup?

<p>Well,look like just two day left.The thing I am worried about most is the topics of essays.If I pick up a topic that needs courage,persistence,I think it’s my luck day.BUT,what if I pick up a topic that really can’t use the history figures to organize my passage?Something like talking about privacy or what is the best way to communicate with people,etc.In that case,I have to use or even make up personal examples!!But here I got some confusion,I heard that the graders kinda dislike something personal;they perfer ‘big examples’ (They might not announce their dislike but keep it in mind…so who knows)</p>

<p>So, are you prepared to face some topics like that?Have you got any omnipotent exmaples?If not,you better prey…
I really hope I can pick up a topic that I can use my prepared exmaples of well-know figures…God bless me!!!(If you got a lot of examples that can perfectly fit every even strange topics,just ignore me ioi)</p>

<p>Here is one,(One of topics in MAY 2010 SAT)Should the government be responsible for making sure that people lead healthy lives?Given this topic what kind of examples can you come up with?</p>

<p>Yes, this is also what I am worried about. I just don’t know what examples should be used on such topics.</p>

<p>For this i think personal experiences will be the best choice</p>

<p>bumbing Freezing’s question</p>

<p>Personal examples are fine if you know how to use them. The reason why personal example essays score low frequently is that writers tend to forget the prompt and their thesis, and it just becomes an off-topic narration. People also have difficulty discerning which details are irrelevant, and etc. Basically, personal example essays are actually more challenging to write well. If you look in the Blue Book and at the sample essays at SAT Study Guide – SAT Suite | College Board you can find plenty examples of essays that use personal examples effectively and scored 6 out of 6.</p>
