Sample Student Essay from Kogawa
Sample Student Essay from KogawaI was working on a sample essay for my students to use when preparing for the GMAT, and I realized that there were lots of different writing styles of writing, and it was really hard to know what to put in each one. So I started asking around to see if anyone knew about Kogawa's samples and got a lot of different suggestions.After some time, I began to notice a pattern of my own choosing: Kogawa's samples seem to be different, but they all have some similarity. One of them had a sentence like this:But then there are other samples that follow a completely different pattern, with this pattern being used even more than once:But then I noticed that the person I talked to didn't know what they were talking about, and their definition of writing style was so wide and confused that it would probably take months to figure out if they actually knew what it meant. So after talking to several people, I found that one of the most common complaints that I got was t hat Kogawa's samples were confusing.Now that I think about it, though, if you take a look at any of Kogawa's samples, you'll find a lot of points where they could have been easier. But that's not what I'm trying to say. I am saying that sometimes the best way to go about finding a good sample is to look for a sample that has a structure that you can work from, rather than going by a singular point of view.So if you're going to write a letter or a paper, I suggest that you make sure that you look for a writing style that follows a template. The good news is that even if you're just writing the title of a book or a short essay, you can still use this type of structure. It can help you learn how to write a good sample essay much faster than if you were to start from scratch.In fact, I don't know if anyone else has noticed this, but there's actually a lot of places online where you can get sample letters from Kogawa, and they're usually very high quality. However, many of them are also different. Sometimes it's so different that it makes the work too hard to read, but that's another issue.I'm just glad that I found a site where you can get samples of Kogawa's work, so that I was able to see how they put things together. Once I could find these samples, I was able to speed up my research time and improve my own writing skills.
