list as many factors as possible. Elaborate on How it would encourage your talents, maybe write your talents and achievments too so they know, say formally that it would be a fantastic school for you and you would do very well in that school's environment, maybe if it's in a convenient location put something about that in too, but only if you really need to. Do the major ones first, and then use the minor ones as a kind of last resort.

Well, what they mean by 'essay fashion' is an introduction, a few paragraphs that must link and flow well, and a conclusion.



I don't know the factors that influenced you, but I would start off in my introduction: 'There are a number of factors that influenced me in my decision to apply to St. Edward. I liked the prospectus, the campus was pretty, and it is a well-respected institution with an excellent academic record. Seeing as I am an aspiring law student, St. Edward would be the perfect opportunity for me to gain valuable skills needed for law.'



Then you would begin your first reason, elaborate on it, and link it back to the question. Every reason needs a new paragraph. Be concise.



Then, in your conclusion, reword what you stated in your introduction, perhaps adding a little more about your excitement at being part of the institution etc.



Make sure you read it through and make changes if need be.



Spell check and grammar check. So important.



Make sure it flows well - read it aloud or to a friend to judge this.



Anyway, I hope it goes well for you and I hope you get in!

I am a student of class 5. I want to be a pilot. I go to school daily. I enjoy doing my home work. I attend my classes and listen to my teachers carefully, but the happiest for me and my other class fellows is 'Our recess period'. It is the favorite period for our teachers. When we become really tired of study and bored from classes this break makes us really active. I spent my recess period by playing games like soccer, badminton and volleyball. Sometimes I gossip with my friends. We usually go to our school canteen and eat burgers, chips, sweets and Pepsi. Whenever I feel very hungry I eat two burgers. If my best friend is on holiday I go to library and spend my time by reading newspapers and magazines. When I am not able to complete my class work in the period, I finish it later. Our teachers gossip in the staff room, while correcting our exercise books and most of them taking refreshment. Everyone feels relaxed during this period. So I enjoy my recess period a lot. Here is a form I corrected. You did very well for being in class 5. Some of the errors that you are making are when you have a noun ( a person, place, or thing) you need to make the verb (an action word) agree with it. Such as; I run home is correct, I runs home would not be correct. The use of the word gossip would not be correct to say I gossips; it would be I gossip or he gossip would not be correct it would be he gossips. This is a hard concept for most 5th graders. Watch your spelling and use a spell checker on a a computer or a dictionary if you are not sure of the spelling of words. To make the writing more readable watch your spacing a bit when you type. Two spaces after a period and indenting a new paragraph 5 spaces will make your writing easier to read Good luck with your writing in the future you are off to a good start.

because in my opinion the curricuum has much more to offer



there is a much larger oppurtunity for me to further my Catholic beleifs through their school



I believe that by attending your school I have a better outcome of getting into the college i desire



You seem to value cirtues that are very important to me, and that I can follow these (there is a better word then follow just cant think of one)





Good Luck

1. What the school has to offer?

2.What you like about the school?

3.Who influenced you to come to that school and how that person turned out (wanna be like them-rolemodel)?

4.Dreams are from this school?

5.Diffrence between this school and other schools? (better or worse factors)

Basically, why do you want to apply to this school. Just be honest, is it the academics, the views, what is it that you like about it.



Good Luck!

just list the reasons why you want to go there. you should do your best in making it sound good and be thorough. also let your parents proofread it to see if it sounds good to them. i'm not sure what you should write, but I do know that if you give your best effort you should be fine
