Sample Student Essay with Correction Symbols vt wc ss ro 14 Sample Student Essay with Correction Symbols My Friends I am very lucky to meet many kinds of people in my youthful days. Some of them only say hi and fleet away. Some of them leave strong impressions on my mind but soon wave goodbye. However, others stay and become closer and closer to me as time goes by. Those who choose to stay in my life give me not only their friendship but also chances to know myself better; that is, I discover varied aspects of my character through the types of my friends. My friends, according to their personalities, can be divided into four basic categories: the romantics, the critics, the philosophers, and the nurturers. The romantics are mostly my best friends because we share many common interests and possess similar qualities. We are spirited in temper and erratic by nature. We are also incurably sentimental, and unrealistic, the most important thing among us is to discuss literary works and write poems. We skip classes sometimes just because we are not in the right mood to stay in the classroom and want to go somewhere else. We understand each other so well that most of the time, by merely a glance, we immediately catch what the others weep for or laugh at. Being perfectly matched, we are always envied by other classmates. The critics are those I can only admire but rarely have intimate contact with. We meet mostly in classrooms, club meetings and group discussions. We have almost nothing in common. However, the reason why we are friends is because I want someone to teach and analyze the real world for me, and they happen to need someone to listen to their opinions. In class, they are talkative, active and are often the ones who are eager to have debate. They focus all their attention to instructors’ lectures to the point of trying to find fault in them. Though I don’t quite agree to their “aggressive” manner, I must admit that they are really somebody. I like to watch them in some distance so as not to be involved in their argument. 00238-X_006-073.indd 14 11/12/09 8:39 PM p wc wc wc

The Philosophers are often thought to be strange, because they are unsocial, pensive, and self-indulgent. Yet for me, they are like hidden treasures, waiting for the right time to be explored. We spend most of our time in silence, reading or contemplating. Though it sometimes seems boring to be with them, it is worthwhile. They dare to overturn old concepts and always burst out something intelligent and inspiring. They like to sit behind the classroom, burying their heads in books or looking out of the window. I would not disturb them; rather, I would stare at them as if they were greek statues. They are rarely associated with emotions, for they all wear a serious facial expression. However, once something touches their hearts, they would cry louder than anyone. I cherish their boldness of their thoughts and frailty of their feelings. If the friendship with the romantics is built upon passion, then with the nurturers it is upon tenderness. The nurturers are soft, kind, considerate, and forbearing. Though with them I can hardly share my fantasies, they are the very persons I would turn to every time I need hearty comfort. When I am sick, they pass me hot water, tissues, and encouraging notes. When they find me distracted in class, they would tap my shoulder to warn me. However, they usually have serious homesick. They manage to go home at least twice a month. When they go back to school, they have to spend few days recovering form sadness. Their family is always their favorite subject. There’s no exaggeration that at the moment I know them, I know their moms as well! Possessing both tenderness of a mother and dependence of a child, these nurturers are remarkably cute and attracting. Each kind of my friends has their own unique personalities. The romantics are sentimental, the critics are argumental, the philosophers are pensive, and the nurturers are tender. Though I am more attached to the romantics and the nurturers, I appreciate and cherish the critics and the philosophers. They together meet my different needs and enrich my life. wc cap art nonidiom sp pro re art num Sample Student Essay with Correction Symbols 15 00238-X_006-073.indd 15 11/12/09 8:39 PM
