<p>Hey guys.
I just have problem coming up with good body paragraph examples for SAT essay.
I dont know what example to choose and write about.
Could you guys pls give me a list of examples that work well in many topics?
PLS????
THANKS</p>
<p>How about [url=<a href=“http://economist.com%5DEconomist.com%5B/url”>http://economist.com]Economist.com[/url</a>] articles? I think they’ll help you sound sophisticated.</p>
<p>lol. i acutally want a concrete details like Eistein, Edison, some kind of events, etc
Any ideas?</p>
<p>Study in major depth and detail some part of history, and one good book. That should be sufficient, I think (because you can make up/invent other examples, use personal experience). You can draw all sorts of examples from these, even if you need to stretch it a bit.</p>
<p>For example, I usually use US History and The Count of Monte Cristo</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Avoid refering to scientists. Like lolcats4 said, use a good book instead. According to Rocket Review, the essay graders are too stupid for science and get irritated when they see it. So, use history or literature examples.
And if you have to use science, don’t get too technical about it.</p>
<p>I use Lord of the Flies by William Golding and The Scarlet Letter alot, it gets me essays 10+. I also like to use Pearl Harbor and the Alamo.</p>
<p>^ He’s right. Lord of the Flies is awesome. I use it almost everytime, too.</p>
<p>I don’t see how referring to figures in history, for example famous scientists like Edison, should be avoided. It’s a perfectly good example to use.</p>
<p>Hmmm… so it’s OK to make references from Dickens? How can you be sure the readers will comprehend whatever you’re writing unless they’ve already read the book?</p>
<p>I’m not being sarcastic; this is an honest question.</p>
<p>The thing is that the essay graders are trained to be impressed by arguments, not content (a BIG mistake I made on my first SAT). The SAT essay is nothing like writing a research paper, where the quality of your examples really matters. Even if your readers aren’t familiar with your example you can get a high score if it sounds like you are making a strong argument.</p>
<p>Besides, since most SAT graders are English teachers, I think they’d have some familiarity with Dickens lol</p>
<p>omg. hahaha. thank you guys for good advice! I really really appreciate it! :)</p>
