<p>I don’t think amazing examples are really necessary, I just used 3 personal examples and 2 “a friend” examples. They have to be decent, but they don’t have to be outstanding. I’ve used 3 great examples and recieved a 12. YMMV.</p>

<p>To a degree. Your spelling has to be pretty good, and your grammar not a disaster. They like Intro->Bodies->Conclusion that are clearly defined</p>

<p>I pretty much have the intro canned. It starts out with the question of the prompt, presents the viewpoint I’m refuting, and then the one I agree with. I agree with it for X reason.</p>
<p>Example (for fun, obviously not a real essay ) :
Chocolate chip cookies are delicious. and their goodness brings happiness to children. Yet some argue that their fat and sugar will be the bane of humanity. Are chocolate chip cookies evil?</p>
<p>Are chocolate cookies truly evil? Some argue that chocolate chip cookies are definitely evil, since they contain fat and typically have high sugar content. Others contend that chocolate chip cookies are delicious and portable treats that bring happiness to many. I believe that chocolate chip cookies are not evil. This viewpoint is supported by my own experience eating chocolate chip cookies since a young age, obesity studies by the Food and Drug Administration*<em>, the experience of my friend who eats a box of Chips Ahoy every day and wins marathons</em>, and nutritional studies on chocolate chip cookies by the European Union***.*</p>
