Section 3：Practice Prompts with Model Essays
Prompt 1：Describe an Unforgettable Experience
題目： Describe an unforgettable experience in your life. What happened? Why was it unforgettable? What did you learn from it?
Model Essay:
Everyone has experiences that stay with them forever. For me, the most unforgettable one was climbing Mount Jade with my classmates last summer.
We started our journey early in the morning when the weather was perfect — clear skies and a gentle breeze. However, by the time we reached the halfway point, dark clouds had gathered, and a sudden thunderstorm struck. The trail became dangerously slippery, and visibility dropped to almost zero. Fear spread through our group as we struggled to find our way down.
What happened next taught me a powerful lesson. Instead of panicking, we held hands and formed a chain, guiding each other step by step. Our team leader kept encouraging everyone with calm words. After two hours of careful descent, we finally reached safety. Looking back, that terrifying experience became my most treasured memory because it showed me that courage is not the absence of fear but the ability to move forward despite it. (153 words)

Prompt 2：A Person Who Influenced You
題目： Write about a person who has had a significant influence on your life. Describe this person and explain how he or she has affected you.
Model Essay:
Of all the people who have shaped who I am today, my grandmother has had the most profound influence. A retired schoolteacher with a warm smile and endless patience, she taught me lessons that no textbook ever could.
When I was in elementary school, I struggled with reading and often felt embarrassed in class. Rather than hiring a tutor, my grandmother sat with me every evening and read stories aloud. She never rushed me, never expressed frustration, and always celebrated even the smallest progress. “Learning is like planting a tree,” she would say. “It grows slowly, but the roots go deep.”
Her patience extended beyond academics. She showed me that kindness costs nothing but means everything. Whether she was helping a neighbor carry groceries or listening patiently to a friend’s problems, she demonstrated that true strength lies in gentleness. Today, whenever I face challenges, I hear her voice reminding me to be patient with myself and compassionate toward others. She may not have changed the world, but she changed mine. (166 words)
Annotations:
- Opening: 立即點出人物和其影響力
- Specific Details: 每晚陪伴閱讀的具體故事
- Quotation: 奶奶的話增加真實感
- Character Description: 用行動展現性格（幫鄰居、聽朋友傾訴）
- Conclusion: 呼應開頭，點出深遠影響
- 句型多樣性: 分詞構句、名詞子句、讓步子句
Prompt 3：Your Opinion on a Social Issue
題目： Some people believe that social media has improved communication, while others argue that it has made people more isolated. What is your opinion? Provide reasons and examples to support your view.
Model Essay:
Social media has undeniably transformed the way we communicate, but I believe that its negative effects on real human connection outweigh its benefits. While platforms like Instagram and LINE make it easy to stay in touch, they often replace meaningful face-to-face interactions with superficial exchanges.
First, social media encourages quantity over quality in relationships. People may have hundreds of “friends” online, yet studies show that many heavy social media users actually feel lonelier than those who use it less. The精心策劃的 images and updates that people post create an illusion of connection while masking genuine emotions.
Second, social media can damage communication skills. When most conversations happen through screens, people lose the ability to read facial expressions, interpret tone of voice, and respond with empathy. I have noticed that some of my classmates struggle to hold conversations in person because they are so accustomed to texting.
In conclusion, while social media is a useful tool, we must not let it replace authentic human interaction. True communication requires more than likes and comments — it requires presence, attention, and genuine care. (178 words)
Annotations:
- Clear Thesis: 第一段末明確表達立場
- Two Arguments: 兩個支持論點（數量 vs. 品質、溝通技能退化）
- Evidence: 引用研究、個人觀察
- Counter-argument acknowledged: “while social media is a useful tool”
- Strong Conclusion: 總結並昇華論點
Prompt 4：A Letter of Advice
題目： A younger student has written to you asking for advice about how to prepare for the GSAT. Write a letter giving your best advice.
Model Essay:
Dear friend,
Thank you for reaching out to me about preparing for the GSAT. I remember how overwhelming it felt, so I am happy to share some strategies that helped me succeed.
First, start preparing early and create a realistic study plan. Do not try to cram everything into the last few months. Instead, break your preparation into small, manageable tasks. For example, dedicate thirty minutes each day to vocabulary building and another thirty minutes to reading comprehension practice.
Second, practice with past exams regularly. Taking practice tests under timed conditions will help you become familiar with the format and manage your time effectively during the real exam. After each practice test, carefully review your mistakes and understand why you got them wrong.
Third, do not neglect your physical and mental health. Many students sacrifice sleep and exercise to study more, but research shows that well-rested students perform better. Make sure to get enough sleep, eat nutritious meals, and take short breaks during study sessions.
Finally, maintain a positive attitude. The GSAT is important, but it does not define your worth. Believe in yourself and trust the effort you have put in. I wish you the best of luck!
Sincerely, A Senior Student (195 words)
Annotations:
- Letter Format: 正確的書信格式（稱呼、結語、署名）
- Clear Structure: 四個建議，每個有具體說明
- Practical Advice: 具體可行的建議（時間分配、考古題、健康）
- Encouraging Tone: 鼓勵性的語氣
- Transitions: First, Second, Third, Finally
Prompt 5：Picture Description
題目： Look at the following picture and write an essay about what you see. Describe the scene and share your thoughts about the message it conveys.
(Picture description: A small seedling growing through a crack in concrete.)
Model Essay:
The picture shows a tiny green seedling pushing its way through a crack in a solid concrete surface. Around it, there is nothing but gray, lifeless stone, yet the small plant stands tall, reaching toward the sunlight above. This simple image carries a profound message about the power of resilience and hope.
In many ways, the seedling represents the human spirit. Life often places obstacles in our path — poverty, illness, discrimination, or failure — that seem as unyielding as the concrete in the picture. Yet just as the seedling finds a way to grow despite its harsh surroundings, people have an extraordinary capacity to overcome adversity. History is full of individuals who achieved remarkable things despite overwhelming odds.
The image also reminds us that growth does not require ideal conditions. We often wait for the “perfect” moment to pursue our goals, but the seedling teaches us that progress is possible even in the most difficult circumstances. What matters is not where we start but the determination to keep growing.
Ultimately, this picture is a celebration of life’s persistence. No matter how dark or hard our circumstances may be, there is always a crack through which hope can emerge. (192 words)
Annotations:
- Description: 清楚描述圖片內容
- Metaphor: 小苗比做人類精神
- Two Themes: 韌性 (resilience) 和在困境中成長
- Personal Reflection: 結合歷史和人生哲理
- Strong Conclusion: 呼應圖片主題，用詩意的語言收尾
