T1: Describe a difficulty you once met. Explain how you overcame this difficulty. Please include specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
Sample:
The biggest difficulty I have overcome in my life is to grow to like the subject Math. At the age of 16, I was very weak in math. I never liked solving math problems without any reason. I was often distracted during the math lecture in school and never pay attention to the teacher. But my math teacher is a nice lady. She had a talk with my parents about this and bolstered me to practice the math exercises everyday. Due to her motivation, a certain amount of passion for math was inculcated in me and this passion rose to a great extent. In a few weeks, I scored the highest marks in math in my class. Thus, I overcame this difficulty with the help of my teacher.
T2: Some students prefer test questions that ask for opinions while others prefer those objective ones that have a correct answer. What do you think? You would use past experience to support your response.
Sample:
I prefer test questions that ask for opinions. I think objective questions usually require students to memorize a lot of information and all you need to do is recollecting the information correctly. However, it is more challenging to answer test questions that ask for opinions because you have to think hard. You need to recollect and analyze all the information you have read in books or you have watched in TV. Then you need to connect the dots and form you own thinking. I usually have a better and clearer understanding of these kinds of questions.
