Hi.  These are typical entrance-application essay questions.  \nA couple resource sites and some advice:\n\nFor question #1: What is motivating you to join the coast guard?  Do you want to be a high-ranking officer?  Do you want to use your experience for a career outside the coast guard?   Write about those.  \n\nFor question #2: Write about an experience that proves that you are respectful and accepting of other people and ideas- answer the "how" and "why" you believe you are.\n\nFor question #3:  Pick the activity you like most outside of work (sports?) and write about how it's made you a better person, and why it means so much to you.

I once wrote a compare and contrast essay on romaine lettuce and iceberg lettuce. It was actually quite interesting, and I hardly had to do any research! \nOther topics: apples vs. tomatoes, written book vs. audio book, laptop vs. computer, US vs. Iraq, pen vs pencil...just look around the room, pick any two objects, and write about them!

The style is really not very different than the essays you write for English class. Start with your thesis statement...."Theodore Roosevelt influenced America as a writer, soldier, civic leader, and as a great president." \n\nEach body paragraph will start with a topic sentence and focus on one aspect of what made him influential.  Stay focused, build each paragraph with facts, examples, and details that support the topic sentence.

It depends on what class this is for.  It is always best to write about something that interests you or something that you would like to learn more about.  There are a million possible topics to choose from!

How about writing about the problem of choosing a topic for your composition?  You could discuss how you used this site to help develop a topic and other ways you brainstormed topics...depending on the sense of humor of your teacher, and the specifics of the assignment, might make for a perfectly creative composition.\n\nGood luck.

I truly hope you're not looking for an essay.  I'll help you break it down so it's easier to write.\n\n1st paragraph -- State your view.  Do you think it's a good idea?  Why?  Why not?\n\n2nd, 3rd, 4th paragraphs -- one paragraph for each of your reasons.  Make certain to use details to support them.  For example: "One reason why I think this is a bad idea is because kids do not know which teachers are good.(topic sentence)  Kids may pick teachers they think are easy graders or who do not give much homework. (details)"  \n\n5th paragraph -- urge the principal to consider your views, and restate them for clarity.\n\nI hope this helps.  Good luck.

The best thing to do is write about something you now about.  Take a few minutes to brain storm.  Get a blank piece of paper and write anything that comes to mind.  The ideas don't have to make sense, just write them down.  After you are finished brain storming go through and circle the ideas you like.

The key to writing an essay is inspiration and structure. Assuming you have a topic, gather what information you can about it, allow your mind to explore the boundaries of that information and see what intersts you about it, then write down a list of those things in th eorder that they appear to be connected. Think of how you can interst your reader in that subject, a catchy title and a few words of introduction. Then work your way through each of your main points (depending on essay length there shouldn't be more than three or four) saying something engaging about each. Now think how you can wrap up what you are saying to finish off with a neat ending. For me the ending always referred back to the introduction in some way and included the words of the title. That brings the whole to a satisfactory conclusion in arounded sort of way. You have posed a question for your reader and and answered it. Try to vary your sentence lengths so as not to be too clunky and keep the language simple. Use of long or obscure words may seem clever at first sight but if they are not in common use can look like bragging - and if you get the wrong meaning of them will only make you look silly. Write in a manner that can be easily read aloud without tripping over or hesitation and you should do well. Good luck - essay writing was my favourite.... And remeber to check your spellings!

after you read the question, take a minute (literally, not more) to write a quick outline of your essay on some scrap paper or the margin- that way you'll know where you want to go with your essay, and you'll be able to leave out time-consuming stuff that doesn't add to your argument.  Beyond that, practice keeping an eye on the clock.\n\nWorked for me in AP history/government. Good luck.

I would write the essay about what I do and that is sing. I would talk about mastering breathing techniques and note articulation. I would talk about proper annunciation so that the words being sung sound right and are understood. I would talk about the importance of diversity of style and how it is important to challenge yourself and not just sing the songs one is comfortable with.

How about a closing paragraph/sentence about how beneficial it would be to incorporate all those strategies into university life and the difference it could make to overall success?\n\nI hope this helps.

Master the standard format for "the five paragraph essay."  Know it backwards and forwards and stick to the formula.  Clearly expressed thoughts, coherently presented and purposeful  is more important than tossing in hastily acquired vocabulary.  When given a topic choice, go for the one with which you are most familiar.  Check this link and good luck.  And, read, read, read. If you can enlist help, ask somebody to read your practice essays who can be critical and honest.  \n\nhttp://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Atrium/1437/index.html

start out with an interesting fact or commonly held idea or notion. expand on that idea and how it effects the world (currently or in the time periods of your stories, whichever is appropriate for this essay) then tie that into your thesis, or main idea. this will get the reader thinking about your topic and make them want to continue reading
