Kid Writing Prompts

Angela Said:

Health: Writing Prompt How do you think kids with asthma feels? What would you like to say to asthma sufferers

We Answered:

Well, I myself have Asthma, not to mention I am also an adolescent dealing with Asthma.

I must tell you, it's not all that fun.
First off, you're playing a game of tag with your friends, and you really want to catch someone and for once not be it. Well, it's pretty much nearly impossible because you feel tired and run slowly as you feel tight and wheezy. You almost always end up being it because you can't run fast enough to break away from someone trying to tag you.
Sports is something really difficult for me sometimes because I often have to stop and take my puffer. Which is rather bothersome because if you're in a game of basketball, you can't just stop in the middle of the game.
Sometimes I felt excluded from the rest of the kids. I felt really sad when I saw them running really fast because I knew I just couldn't do that. Being a kid with Asthma is no fun. It's really sad because sometimes you just can't do what the other kids are doing. Just gotta sit out. Based on my personal experience. However, I am now on different meds for Asthma and I've improved, now I CAN run and play tag, now I CAN play sports and I DON'T have to sit out.

There is hope for kids out there with Asthma. All I have to say to Asthma sufferers is to never give up, and you'll be such a great person for it. Have regular check-ups and you'll be fine. You will succeed!

What to write about Christmas being better when kid?

We Answered:

It's all more magical!

Santa ate your cookies and the reindeer ate the carrots.

You're usually more surprised on Christmas. You get toys and stuff and when you get older you usually get clothes and gift cards.

Plz look at my response to SAT Writing prompt?

We Answered:

Ok, I'm going into 11th grade starting September, I'm taking AP Language, and I've also take a couple of SATs so far. I got my most recent essay graded by my teacher at the Princeton Review SAT Prep Course and got full points. Here are suggestions for your essay:

1st Paragraph:
-Make the first statement of every essay state what you believe based on the question or whether or not you agree with the given statement; Here your first statement should be something along the lines of, "I wholeheartedly believe that perfection is something to be sought after, not obtained, as mankind is not capable of being perfect."

-Instead of "First off", I would say, "For example," (not important for the SAT though)

-Book titles must be underlined, and Storm should be capitalized as it is part of the book title (words like "the", "and", "or" and "if" shouldn't be capitalized, even in a title)

-Not "eager OF BECOMING the best man OF his job", the capitalized words are wrong, try this instead, "is eager to be the best he can possibly be at his job"

-I would replace "thanks" with "due to", but it's not that important for the SAT

2nd Paragraph:
-No comma after Bonju (don't worry, it won't matter on the SAT, they're not as strict as an English teacher would be)

-"Competitive", not "competEtive" (not that important for the SAT)

-Instead of saying "Her ideal of perfectionism was becoming the smartest kid in our school", I would say, "To do this she worked very hard to try and achieve perfect grades, and for the most part her grades were extremely high, which got her into law school"

Conclusion:
-Just say Isaac, not Isaac Cline, his last name was never introduced before
-Don't say "perfection is worthy of being admired", that goes against your point since you are saying mankind has yet to obtain it

Other tips (these are the biggest problems with your essay):
-Remember what your argument is: Perfection must be SOUGHT; Therefore, in your second paragraph don't say your friend received PERFECT grades, but SOUGHT to and came close, helping her tremendously (it doesn't matter if this isn't true)
-Expand on both of your paragraphs is you can

Things like minor error in grammar, such as improper comma usage here and there and 1 or 2 incorrect spellings won't lose you any points on your essay, but if your essay is not consistent with your argument and your sentences sound too awkward you may lose points; overall, keep practicing your writing, read good literature (Scarlet Letter, The Picture of Dorian Gray, Moby Dick, Robinson Crusoe, Wuthering Heights, etc.) and you should be fine.
