Essay Option 6
“Don’t be afraid to pick past prompts! I liked some of the ones from previous years more than those made newly available for my year. Also, don’t worry about the ‘correct’ way to interpret a question. If there exists a correct way to interpret the prompt I chose, it certainly was not my answer.”
“不要害怕挑选过去的题目!比起新的这些文书题目我更喜欢前几年的。另外,不要担心解释问题的“正确”方式。如果有正确的方法来解释我选择的提示,那肯定不是我的回答。“
