Sample 1
This story helps us realize how easily and how little it
takes for one to lose his/her life. Of course, what
happened to Jekkey wasn’t “a little” , but just when he
thought he was safe, he was at the greatest point of
danger and had to be rescued. He had gone into a
state of shock. He couldn’t feel himself. Any little dis–
turbance in our equilibrium will throw us off right away,
and all it takes is the slightest word to throw us back into
equilibrium. What Jekkey is trying to state is how delicate
and fragile the human mind and consciousness is.

Writing—Practical Writing
Sample 2
As a foreign language teacher, I absolutely enjoyed reading the observation of an ESL class in Chapter One of Brown’s text. I know that if I had been there, I would have enjoyed the lesson. I feel that the teacher did an excellent job in each part of the lesson. First, in my opinion, she clearly knew what her objective was, and the elements of her lesson exemplified that. I also believe that her activities were well-planned, and that each one took place in the “right time” during the lesson. She varied the style, implementation and performance of each activity; this keeps students interested and “on their toes”. In addition, it reinforced the learning that takes place.
