- Sample 1 What was the most memorable event that ever happened
to you while you were at school? Use specific reasons to support
your answer. 24
- Slide 26
- Response In my view graduating from high school was the most
memorable experience in school for a few reasons. First, it was
very exciting. For example, before I graduated, I worked very hard
and studied for my finals, so I had a lot of stress. So, knowing
that I was gonna graduate gave me a feeling of comfort and
excitement knowing that I had finished. Second, finishing high
school helped me to start my future. For example, before I
graduated high school, I lived with my parents, I didnt really have
my own job. But once I graduated I went on to college, I had my
first real job, and I lived away from home. So it was the beginning
of my future. Thats why graduating from high school was one of my
most memorable experiences in school. 25

- Sample 2 Do you prefer a friend who is similar to you or
different from you? Use specific reasons and examples to support
your answer. 26
- Slide 28
- Response I believe a friend who is similar to you is best for a
few reasons. First, youd have fewer arguments with them. For
example, when I lived in the dorm, I had a roommate whose opinions
in politics, food, and so on were different from mine. So wed often
wind up having arguments when we discussed something. Second, you
can have more fun with friends that are similar to you. For
example, when I was doing my BA, I had a couple of friends who had
the same preferences as mine. So, wed often do the same thing
together like going to a movie or eating out at the same
restaurant. Thats why I think its best to have friends that are
similar to you. 27
