Sample testifys for the SAT Practice Test Essay 1 This essay reliable a score of 6 Americans nowadays are remote in addition concerned with their privacy. In our culture of large houses, home trade protection systems, and nonpublic counslers, everyone is difficult too hard to seclude themselves and cut strike their emotions with the popside land. Two summers ago some friends of mine and I went on a bumble to Thailand for one month.In Thailand I observed how communicative Thais were with all of their problems and emotions, and I became convinced that this culture of sharing ones emotions was uttermost passingior to the American style of hiding them. In America we all are individualists, meaning we all care astir(predicate) standing out in a crowd and making a unique, strong impression. So when my friends and I arrived in a small village in the trades union of Thailand, we were somewhat shocked to find that Thais centered around groups, not individual wad. When it came to emotions, if somebody had a problem, the group had a problem, and everyone would try and fix it. It was as if the entire village was one large team that had a mission to supporter all of its individuals. No one was left in isolation.In contrast, we Americans hid all of our nerve-wracking or other serious emotions. We were concerned once over again with our appearance, how we would be judged by our friends, and whether or not it suited our unique individuation. For us, it was every man for himself. If soulfulness had a problem, it was up to them to fix it. The advantages of this might be that everyone learns to realize their pro blems on their own, but good deal are indeed not learning how to communicate their problems, they are not learning how to communicate in a group. For example, my friend Duncan had recently got refused by a college he had had his shopping mall set on, and he was feeling depressed astir(predicate) it.While in Thailand we all asumed that he was doing ok because he never talked round it. After one month however, all of us in the group had grown contiguous together and we started to share our feelings more. Duncan confessed to us that he was still upset about his college refusal, and we all worked together to cheer him up and get rid of his depression. There was no matter weak about him feeling upset. In fact, he showed us strength by existence brave enough to express himself to us. Should hoi polloi cargo deck their emotions private? If they realize serious emotions that they hold inside of themselves, most comparablely these emotions will be a lot harder to make go out.Tha i culture, and the Thai way of solving problems as a group, convinced me that throng are meant to express themselves in a group. Confessing ones emotions to others is a way to cope with problems, and it teaches us valuable lessons of communication and honesty. grand deal take away to confess their problems, not forbid them private. Why Essay 1 acquire a Score of 6 This essay demonstrates outstanding critical thinking in effectively and insightfully developing a point of view on the issue (Confessing ones emotions to others is a way to cope with problems, and it teaches us valuable lessons of communication and honesty) with a clearly appropriate example from soulfulnessal experience.Well organized and clearly focused, the essay uses an account of a trip to Thailand to illustrate the point that Americans, who all care about standing out in a crowd and on that pointfrom conceal all of our stressful or other serious emotions, need to learn the Thai way of solving problems quite a little are meant to express themselves in a group. The essay demonstrates smooth progression of ideas (Duncan confessed to us that he was still upset about his college refusal, and we all worked together to cheer him upThere was nothing weak about him feeling upset. In fact, he showed his strength by being brave enough to express himself to us) and uses language skillfully throughout.This essay demonstrates clear and consistent mastery and earns the top score of 6. 2005 The College Board Essay 2 This essay real a score of 6 I cannot jock but believe, despite my slight ambivalence over the issue of privacy, that the trends which now-adays indicate a slight reluctance on part of multitude to lionize some things private, are dangerous. Shows like Jerry Springer in the ground forces tend to reveal information that is inherently dangerous for young children, and thus should be kept private. A problem with capitalism that I have bring forth cognizant of, through my observations , is that if some activity can back up amass profits, it is widely employed.This almost insane drive to attain profit maximization not only ignores external and societal costs, but is scope dangerous cultural precedents. Since lurid, sensationalist confessions by average pile are quite appealing to the general television viewer, it is unsurprising that myriad shows have propped up on television, which pander to these very extremitys by exposing stories and information which is give kept dissembled. In this context, the show Jerry Springer epitomizes my argument. In this show, an array of family problems are rangeed to an audience, not for information dissemination, but for entertainment In this courtship, which meansand I think this is quite obviousnothing but mockery and enjoyment over the antics of slew who choose to expose their problems.These soulfulnessal predicaments range from some less disturbing ones, such as people cheating on their friends or marital partners, t o extremely grave ones, such as people sleeping with their relatives. I am not soul who would like to negate principles like granting immunity of expression, or freedom of choice. But democracy as a system doesnot herald commanding freedom for its own sake rather, it champions the cause of bonk and let live. The latter principal is sure enough being persecuted by people who choose to expose such stories for no plausible reasons I can conjure, since no family problem has in truth been solved by such showsto waxlike young children for TV ratings and agnate supervision do not always work. Am I exaggerating?Is it not harmful or psychologically detrimental when a child is open to such ideas? You be the judge. Why Essay 2 sure a Score of 6 This essay demonstrates clear and consistent mastery, effectively and insightfully developing a point of view on the issue (the trends which now-a-days indicate a slight reluctance on part of people to forbear some things private, are dange rous) with clearly appropriate reasons and examples. The essay displays outstanding critical thinking in linking the harmful or psychologically detrimental expression publicized on the Jerry Springer television show with capitalisms almost insane drive to attain profit maximization. The essay is hale organized and clearly focused, demonstrating smooth progression of ideas (I am not someone who would like to contravene principles like freedom of expression, or freedom of choice. But democracy as a system doesnot herald absolute freedom for its own sake rather, it champions the cause of live and let live. The latter principal is surely being violated by people who choose to expose such storiesfor no plausible reasons I can conjure, since no family problem has actually been solved by such showsto impressionable young children). The essay also exhibits skillful use of language, featuring precision and variety in vocabulary and sentence structure.This outstanding essay receives the top score of 6. 2005 The College Board Essay 3 This essay received a score of 5 People no longer respect the privacy of others or of themselves. This is evident through the exposure of famous peoples lives, the masking forth of possessions and charge appeal, and pornography. familiarity should learn to respect the privacy of others despite the urge to get involved. One of the most common places privacy is violated is among famous or upper class groups. The reason society feels a need to know everything that goes on in a famous soulfulnesss life is because of jealousy. People constantly remind the rich and the famous that their lives are not perfect. For instance, when Brittany Speares married her limosine driver and thusly divorced him eight hours later, everyone read it in the tabloids, newspapers, saw it on the television and checkd of it on the radio. some other reason why such people are constant victims of over exposure is because the media takes advantage of certain situ ations in dress to increase their ratings and profit. A popular practice, peculiarly found in the United States and European countries, is the screening off of possessions. People want the world to know that they have funds and own an Escalade or Rolls Royce. MTV has a show called CRIBS, which shows the audience the inner(a) and exterior of rich multi-million dollar homes of famous musical artists. Also, the showing off of bodies and the use of sex appeal has become almost a urgency in the fashion business.Women and men completely expose their bodies in an attempt to make money and become famous. This has a negative effect on society because it leads to a decay in self confidence and people, especially young teen girls, in an attempt to look like super models, starve themselves. Pornography is another aspect of life that should be private. finish is a sacred act that is shared mingled with a man and a woman yet people, such as Paris Hilton, have violated and abused it. This brings the idea that sex sells. Society should not expose their bodies, money, or the private lives of others. This could help decrease the amount of crimes, teen pregnancies, and identity theft. Why Essay 3 accredited a Score of 5This essay effectively develops a point of view on the issue (Society should not expose their bodies, money, or the private lives of others) with appropriate reasons and examples. The well-organized essay uses strong critical thinking to explain how people are hurt by the lack of privacy in todays image-focused, media-saturated society (Women and men completely expose their bodies in an effort to make money and become famous. This has a negative effect on society because it leads to a decline in self confidence and people, especially young teen girls, in an attempt to look like super models, starve themselves). The essay exhibits facility in the use of language (People no longer respect the privacy of others or of themselves.This is evident through the exposure of famous peoples lives, the showing off of possessions and sex appeal, and pornography). To earn a score of 6, the author needs to use stronger critical thinking to explain more fully how celebrity overexposure and pornography are harmful to society. This essay demonstrates reasonably consistent mastery and earns a 5. 2005 The College Board Essay 4 This essay received a score of 5 For a person to be honest, he need not share every aspect of his life. It is not crooked to not mention a fact that was not inquired about. Even if it was asked of, one can easily say, truthfully, that they care not to speak of the issue.People in our ripe society should make an effort to keep aspects of their lives private, for it would give them and others many problems, most of which are much greater than dishonesty could ever be. many issues are personnal, and relevant only to you. There is no reason why personnal information should be shared, unless it is by the will of that person, or i n order to solve a larger problem. In the United States, we have our government set-apart from our religious institutions, and for good reason. People should be allowed to worship however they choose, and the rest of the world should have no effect on it, as guaranteed in the Bill of Rights.However, this is not always the case. In the Nazi-controlled Europe of WWII, Jews were agonistic to dupe a Star of David on their arm to show they were Je neediness and and so were shunned. Their right to privacy was violated, and should not have been. In the world today, thither are many diverse cultures. The United States, for example, has races from all over the globe. Many people have opinions about some of these different races and the beliefs that correlate. Groups such as the KKK outwardly show their opinions of other ethnic groups, in many cases violently. For the safe of themselves and the ones they shun, they should keep their opinions private.Even on the smaller scale, if two peop le were to divulge all their opinions and beliefs to the other, they would no doubt find many ideas upon which they disagree. Instead of ignoring their minute differences and acquiring along well, they chose, by not keeping their ideas private, to bring them out and perhaps argue heatedly about them. There are many more instances in which privacy should be honored, but these two should give an adequate idea of why privacy is very historic to a sedate society. Why Essay 4 Received a Score of 5 This essay demonstrates strong critical thinking in developing a point of view on the issue (privacy is very burning(prenominal) to a peaceful society) with appropriate reasons and examples.Well organized and focused around the idea that privacy helps people avoid many problems, most of which are much greater than dishonesty, the essay displays coherence and progression of ideas, first citing the infringement of Jews privacy under the Nazis, then explaining that in todays world of diverse cultures, little good comes of people divulging all their opinions and beliefs. The essay exhibits facility in the use of language and demonstrates variety in sentence structure (Groups such as the KKK outwardly show their opinions of other ethnic groups, in many cases violently. For the safety of themselves and the ones they shun, they should keep their opinions private). To achieve a score of 6, the writer needs to explain the link between the two examples more insightfully. The essay is effective and earns a score of 5. Essay 5 This essay received a score of 4 J.David Velleman had an idea that many may believe as truth, however, when looking at the entire picture it is clear that in all free countries everyone has a right to keep things to themselves. In our very own constitution we have dedicated the 4th Amendment to protect people from incriminating themselves in the court of law. People every day do things and refuse to discover others about their actions. If a person truely wants to keep something private then that person has the right to do so. Our culture becoming a far too confessional and selfexpressive is not a true statement in that people have and will always have the strength to keep something private if they want to. Our culture in America is suppuration closer to utilizing therapy as a tool to improve their state of mind and well being.This, however, requires a person to be more open so that a trained professional can use their skills to help solve problems. However, at the begining of the 1st therapy session the therapist is required to tell the person or group that they do not need to share something if they dont wish to. This then gives the choice to the patient who decide what to tell and what not to tell. In the past some might say that people were forced into dictum things more than in our present day culture. The Spanish hunting hag-ridden their victims and forced them to say things even if it wasnt true in order to sentance the person to death. It is an obvious choice that therapy is a far better way of disruption a person up. 2005 The College Board Why Essay 5 Received a Score of 4This essay develops a point of view on the issue (If a person truely wants to keep something private then that person has the right to do so) with reasons and examples that adequately support the position, thus demonstrating sufficient critical thinking. Generally focused around the idea that people in contemporary America enjoy the right to privacy, a right that people have not always possessed, the essay features some coherence and progression of ideas (In the past some might say that people were forced into saying things more than in our present day culture. The Spanish Inquisition tortured their victims and forced them to say things even if it wasnt true in order to sentance the person to death. It is an obvious choice that therapy is a far better way of opening a person up). The essay exhibits adequate facility in the u se of language despite some errors.To earn a higher score, the writer should further develop the interesting contrast between therapy and the Spanish Inquisition with additional focused reasoning and other evidence. This able essay receives a score of 4. Essay 6 This essay received a score of 4 People should have a choice whether they want to keep their own matters private, and the public should respect peoples decisions. If people want to keep their matters private, they should not have to make an effort. An example of confessional and self-expressive matters is a diary. Many people express their deepest thoughts and feelings in diaries and journals. Some people, such as celebrities, choose to publicize their diaries. If such is their desire, no one should have a problem.Some celebrities just want average people to know what a famous is actually like. These inside peeks can be entertaining and informative. On the other hand, if people choose to keep their diaries secret, then othe rs should respect them. People can use diaries to disclose embarrassing, revealing secrets that would otherwise eat away at them. People can use their diaries as an escape. Others should not violate their privacy for no reason. Of course, sometimes people do have a good reason for invading someones privacy and reading his/her diary. Because people often think that no one who matters will ever read their diaries, they can reveal their innermost thoughts. These diaries can be important to historians.For example, Anne Franks powerfully moving diary revealed a great deal about life during the Holocaust. Her diary has proven to be an refined primary source. Another important diary is Go Ask Alice. Alices diary opens up the world of drugs. Her story can be used to help other drug-addicted teens or to prevent people from trying drugs. Thus, opening up diaries to the public can be very useful. Clearly, there are benefits to keeping certain things private or public. Why Essay 6 Received a S core of 4 This essay demonstrates competent critical thinking in developing a point of view on the issue (Clearly, there are benefits to keeping certain things rivate or public) through a generally focused discussion of diaries. The essay uses adequate reasons and examples to examine both sides of the privacy debate (If people want to keep their matters private, they should not have to make an effort. Of course, sometimes people do have a good reason for invading someones privacy and reading his/her diary). The essay demonstrates some progression of ideas and exhibits adequate facility in the use of language (These diaries can be important to historians. For example, Anne Franks powerfully moving diary revealed a great deal about life during the Holocaust. Her diary has proven to be an excellent primary source).To achieve a higher score, the writer should use critical thinking to reconcile the opposing sides of the issue, perhaps by answering the question, when, exactly, is it accep table to read someone elses diary? The essay is competent and receives a score of 4. 2005 The College Board Essay 7 This essay received a score of 3 I think that you should not have to keep everything private. People have a lot of views, ideas, stories, and so forth and if they feel that it is necessary to tell them, then let them. I think that if it is helpful, necessary, or comforting to the person talk or talking to, then anyone should be able to talk about it. My first example is if someone was having a problem.If this person is feeling rightfully bad and their friend (peer) wants to tell them how they feel about the topic, then keeping it private is the wrong thing to do The feelings that the second person is expressing to the first could be extremely helpful. My second example is that some people solve their own problems by talking about it. Often times when someone is having some kind of problem, utterance out and letting people know how they feel can help them. Just in toxicateing themselves talk about it can really help a person. This doesnt mean that you have to physically talk about it to another human. As long as you arent screaming at someone that you dont know, then let it go.My last example is if you knew something or had an opinion on something that could greatly help you or someone else from doing something that is physically or mentally damaging. For example suicide. No one wants you to keep your feelings in if it is qualifying to be something dangerous like this. I think that if it is helpful, necesarry or comforting to the person talking or talking to, then anyone should be able to say what you feel. Why Essay 7 Received a Score of 3 This essay demonstrates some critical thinking in developing a point of view on the issue (I think that if it is helpful, necessary, or comforting to the person talking or talking to, then anyone should be able to talk about it) with reasons or examples.However, the evidence provided is limited in focus a nd is inadequately developed to support the position (My last example is if you knew someone or had an opinion on something that could greatly help you or someone else from doing something that is physically or mentally damaging. For example suicide. No one wants you to keep your feelings in if it is going to be something dangerous like this). The essay also displays developing facility in the use of language. To attain a higher score, the writer should improve the focus of the evidence provided, perhaps by including examples of actual situations in which speaking out was beneficial. This essay demonstrates developing mastery and earns a 3. Essay 8 This essay received a score of 2 I feel that people should keep things more private, but some things should be explicit.People should keep things more quiet, because thats how rumors get out, when people talk about something they dont really know about well. If people kept quiet then rumors wouldnt get started, and as long as they kept q uiet, it gives them more time to learn the truth. If things were kept in private, maybe there would not be wars and terrorism. People would get along and not have to argue over dumb stuff. Most bad things happen because someone says something wrong. In that case if people kept their opinions private, there wouldnt be anything spoken wrong. I also think somethings should be expressed, like if there was something bad going to happen to the dry land, people would speak about it, instead of keeping it quiet.Some others that shouldnt be kept quiet would be deaths, so people could hear if they knew the person or not. Basically any thing important to the commonwealth and families should not be kept private. The only way it should is if they wanted it too. Overall, I feel that you can say what you want, but make sure you are speaking the truth and if not keep it private. 2005 The College Board Why Essay 8 Received a Score of 2 This essay develops a vague point of view on the issue (I fee l that people should keep things more private, but some things should be expressed) and provides insufficient evidence to support the position, thus demonstrating weak critical thinking.The essay is poorly focused, displaying serious problems with progression of ideas and the use of language (Some others that shouldnt be kept quiet would be deaths, so people could hear if they knew the person or not. Basically any thing important to the country and families should not be kept private. The only way it should is if they wanted it too). To earn a higher score, the writer should offer adequate, developed reasons and examples that explain the distinction between what should be expressed and what should be kept private. This essay is seriously limited and receives a score of 2. Essay 9 This essay received a score of 1 In life peoples privacy are viewed on different levels.It depends on how serious their secret is. If it is very serious they will do anything to keep it private if not they will tell in time. Our culture has been viewed by all and in the opinions of the world i guess, some think it needs to be like it is, too where we know whats going on in the world. Others dont want to know but when they do find out it freaks them out, to were their paranoid. Our cultures privacy is our opinion. It should in some ways be kept a serious secret and they should take more effort to keep it private. If not that serious it will be told in time, just like when Bush went to Iraq for Thanksgiving. Why Essay 9 Received a Score of 1This essay develops no viable point of view on the issue, crack only disjointed, unfocused statements about privacy (Our cultures privacy is our opinion. It should in some ways be kept a serious secret and they should take more effort to keep it private). The essay displays severe flaws in sentence structure (If it is very serious they will do anything to keep it private if not they will tell in time) and contains pervasive errors in grammar, usage , and mechanics that interfere with meaning (when they do find out it freaks them out, to were their paranoid). To achieve a higher score, the writer needs to present a clear point of view and support it with relevant reasons and examples. This essay demonstrates no mastery and receives a score of 1. 2005 The College Board
