Narrative Prompt Sample Most students have a
favorite game or sport. Think about a time you
played your favorite game or sport. Write a
story about what happened during the game.
Tennis is a great sport. But this head to head
tennis match may have been the most tiring,
sweaty, most breath taking match Ive ever
experienced. It was a chilly morning in the
winter. I had been playing in a tennis
tournament. I had been victorious in all my
previous matches. I had done so well, that I was
playing in the finals, which I had never
accomplished before. At about nine oclock, I had
to drive about an hour to arrive at the tennis
courts. It seemed about a year to get there but
it was worth it. When my dad and I finally
arrived, I was paralyzed by excitement. I
immediately bolted to the counter to check in.
During the long, dreadful wait, I stayed next to
a heat warmer ( to stay warm of course). When my
match was finally called I greeted my opponent,
as he did me. When this was over, we both
immediately bolted to the court to start the
greatest tennis match of all time. Once we
reached the court the official told us to warm
up. During this period of time, I realized what a
fantastic player he was. He hit the ball very
firmly, but I thought I could take him. I
returned his shots repeatedly, but so did he. I
was very determined to win the tournament.
Moments later, the official signaled us to start
the match. When we started we spun racquets to
determine who served. I ended up having to serve.
If I won a point, my opponents always won the
next point. The set lasted about an hour, but
when it was over I had won the first set! I
didnt want to be a brat, so I told my opponent
he was doing great. He ignored my uplifting
comment, and then we both headed to the bench for
a drink. Moments later the second set started.
The second set was also a fierce battle. Once
again we kept swapping points. After a while I
lost the second set. I tried to get over it and I
calmed down and we both headed to the bench so
that we could start the closest part of the
match the tiebreak. As I predicted the tie
break was the closest of all. My opponent was
about to win, but I turned the game around. My
opponent hit a tremendous shot, but I was able to
retrieve it which made me win the match! I was
overjoyed. My heart felt like it was going to
explode! My dad was very impressed. I had just
won my first tournament. I had to go up to the
net and tell my opponent he did a good job. After
this, we had to report the score to the the
check-in counter. He handed my trophy. I felt
like I was one million feet taller. I was so
shocked I had won. After celebrating, I was
forced to leave. I couldnt keep my mouth shut in
the car. I cant imagine what my mom will say,
were my final words. I hope this story has
influenced you to play tennis. If you are lucky
you may end up playing in a match like mine.

Persuasive Writing Sample Your class is
discussing items that people use every day. Think
of one item that you use everyday. What would
your life be like without it? Write a speech to
convince your class that the item is
important. If I didnt have books I would have
a horrible life. Theyre better than T.V. because
books make you smarter. They help you get your AR
goal up so you will meet your goal. Books also
play a movie in your head just like T.V. These
are just a few reason we need books, this is only
the beginning. The traits of a book are the
best part. They can be fantasy, comedy, action,
adventure, drama, or lots of other things. Books
can be fiction or nonfiction, part of a series or
just single. All books are different, no two are
the same. Thats why books are so cool! If books
disappeared I would totally freak out! People who
dont care about books watch T.V. all day long!
Books make us better writers and readers. They
help us pay attention to our school work. Never
underestimate the power of even a single book! I
love books because theyre all like a ball full
of adventure. They make you smarter. I love the
way they create little movies in your head making
you want to read more. Think about why you love
books. Lets face it, books are so amazing! I
love them and you should too. They can do more
than you think is even possible. So stop sitting
around reading this paper and grab a book and
read! Written by Jumana
