Sample Essays

Part A Question 1

Dear Jackie,

I had the most uneventful day! I wanted a different look so I went to a stylistnear my home in the hope of looking more attractive.

I talked to the stylist about the type of look I was aiming for. I wantsomething rather unusual that would make me attractive and trendy. Well,I suggest you to dye your hair rouge and trim them afterwards. The wordrouge sounded very peculiar yet appealing. Alright, Ill have that.

The stylist dyed my hair first. While I was waiting for the dye to penetrateinto my hair and show its effects, I fell asleep.

After an hour, I was woken up by my stylist as I had to have a hair wash. Iwas extremely excited by the new color to do its wonders. After the stylistwas done, he revealed my look to me in a mirror. Here you go! he saidgleefully. I almost fainted when I saw my hair! They were bright red! Butyou said rouge! I shrieked. Yes, rouge is French for red.

I was in deep trouble. I could not walk into school with this hair and mymom would be outraged at me. Dying my hair black only meant moredamaging. I had to wait for a week! Urgh!

Wish me luck for school tomorrow!

Your friend,Pat
