 Writing Sample Tips

Middle Level SSAT test-takers are given 25 minutes to respond to one of two prompts.
You have the choice between a creative story starter and a personal essay prompt.

Your official SSAT writing sample will not be graded but is sent to the admissions
offices of the schools to which you apply.

Read each prompt carefully and decide which you prefer and think will be easier to
answer. You can then organize what you plan to say before you begin writing. Paper for
outlining your writing sample will be provided at the official exam.

Remember to make sure your penmanship is readable. Stay within the margins of the
answer sheets. If you wish to change something you have written, you may neatly strike
through the words you want to “delete.” You are given two lined pages; however, you do
not need to fill both pages.

If you have time, we recommend that you read over what you have written. Often when
students write quickly, they make careless mistakes. Here are some helpful Test
Innovators reminders:
ü Check to make sure you have not left out any words.
ü Look over your spelling. Are there any words that don’t look right to you?
ü Have you capitalized words in odd places or forgot to capitalize proper nouns?
ü Does your comma use look okay?
ü Have you used complete sentences? Remember not to connect two full sentences
with a comma.
ü If you include dialogue, have you used quotation marks properly?
ü Did you use the correct spelling of homophones such as there/their/they’re,
your/you’re, and two/to/too?
Be your own editor and good luck!

Questions 1-5

I feel an inexplicable draw to night markets. There is something exciting

about the seemingly haphazard collection of food stalls, craft vendors, and
people from all walks of life that transform an otherwise nondescript corner
Line of the world into a vibrant and buzzing site of social exchange. Teenagers,
5 who otherwise would not have a place to congregate, stroll in pods along the
walkways. Families of all shapes and backgrounds come to take in the sights
and sounds of the diversity of food, entertainment, and fellow market
dwellers. Workers on the nightshift come to take a break; affordable food and
crowds are their company. And small vendors—from the dessert stall, selling
10 grandma’s apple pie recipe, to the local jewelry maker—have a captive
audience and affordable storefront to conduct business.
The night market is an example of an everyday place where, because it
provides a venue for constant social and economic exchange, our
relationships to one another as fellow citizens are shaped. Everyday places—
15 like stores, streets, and homes—are where we spend a significant amount of
time, and yet we often overlook their importance to our collective
functioning and social cohesion. Unlike more formal commercial venues like
shopping malls, night markets are often more informal. This allows them a
flexibility to adapt and respond to people’s needs.
20 In the U.S. there are few examples of successful and thriving night
markets. This is likely because government regulations in many urbanized
areas of the country limit the operations of informal vendors. In places like
New York City where many new immigrants get their start through small and
sometimes informal businesses, vendors have come under severe attack.
25 Rather than valuing street vendors as contributing to street-life and local
economies, mainstream business interests characterize them as unsightly and
disorderly.
Perhaps the U.S. has something to gain from cultivating more informal
sites of economic exchange, such as night markets. They provide
30 opportunities for people to come together, create community, support small
businesses, and have social experiences in safe environments. Night markets
can also help to spur tourism by providing visitor experiences that are locally
specific and unique.

Questions 6-10

Anna’s hummingbird, a green jewel of a bird, was named in 1929 after

a French duchess. This miraculous creature weighs less than a nickel and has
a heart rate higher than any other vertebrate, 1,260 beats per minute. Its tiny
Line size makes retaining heat very difficult. It is an animal much better suited to
5 sunny, warm climates than to colder weather. Its reliance on flowers to
provide high-energy sugar to its diet also makes it better suited to warmer
environments where wild flowers thrive.
Despite these challenges, Anna’s hummingbird now lingers in western
Washington State all winter long, enduring cold rain, snow, and nighttime
10 temperatures of 0° to 5° Celsius. Wildlife ecologist Gregory A. Green
explains this incredible story of winter survival in the Pacific Northwest.
In North America, not until the 1930s did Anna’s spend the winters any
farther north than San Francisco, California, where winter temperatures
remain a balmy 7° to 15° Celsius. The extension northward of Anna’s winter
15 range is due to environmental changes and the bird’s ability to adapt. Urban
development has replaced evergreen forests with lush, diverse flower
gardens, ideal for these birds whose main source of energy is flower nectar.
Another form of sustenance comes from nectar feeders full of sugary syrup
that many urban residents enjoy hanging for hummingbirds. In addition to
20 these sources of high-energy calories, these resourceful birds eat insects and
spiders for protein. In winter they require less food as their habits become
more sedentary.
As a testament to the adaptability of these tiny birds, to survive cold
nights, a hummingbird can enter a torpor, dropping its body temperature
25 from about 40° to about 9° Celsius and reducing its respiration rate from 245
breaths per minute to 6. It can even suspend its breathing for up to five
minutes. During torpor, its metabolic rate can drop 300 times lower than
while flying. To prepare for nighttime torpor, the bird converts sugar or
syrup into fat during the day. A cold night can cause this tiny bird to lose
30 16 percent of its body weight as it burns its fat to avoid freezing.

Questions 11-15

Two monks were traveling on a long journey. They stopped as they

came to the edge of a rushing river. There they found a young woman in long
silk robes. Stopped at the edge of the river, she was waiting to step out of her
Line carriage. Her followers were carrying so many of her many packages and
5 possessions that they could not help her to cross the river. Rain had left the
river waters high; the woman sat with her back straight and tall, impatient
and speaking unkindly to those helping her.
The younger of the two monks saw the woman and continued walking.
However, the older monk, seeing her distress, lifted her up onto his shoulder.
10 He carried her across the river and set her gently on the other side.
The young woman, now safe on the Earth, simply turned away. She did
not say a word of thanks to the older monk.
The two monks, now both safely across the river, continued on their way.
As they traveled, the younger monk barely noticed the sky or even the
15 twisting dirt path in front of him. He was lost in thought, mulling over of the
encounter with the woman.
Later in the afternoon, the older monk finally stopped; he could feel the
younger monk’s stormy thoughts. He paused, breathing steadily in the falling
sunlight. “Brother,” he said to the younger monk, “what is wrong?”
20 The younger monk began, “that young woman was rude and ungrateful.
Not only did she not thank you, but as monks, our spiritual tradition advises
us to avoid touching women… yet you lifted her onto your shoulder and
carried her. How could you break our vows and carry her?”
The older monk gently replied, “Brother, I put her down by the river’s
25 edge a long ways back. Why do you still carry her?”

Excerpt from The Fish, the Man, and the Spirit by Leigh Hunt, 1836

To a Fish

You strange, astonished-looking, angle-faced,

Dreary-mouthed, gaping wretches of the sea,
Gulping salt-water everlastingly,
Line Cold-blooded, though with red your blood be graced,
5 And mute, though dwellers in the roaring waste;
And you, all shapes beside, that fishy be,—
Some round, some flat, some long, all devilry,
Legless, unloving, infamously chaste:—

O scaly, slippery, wet, swift, staring wights,

10 What is’t ye do? What life lead? eh, dull goggles?
How do ye vary your vile days and nights?
How pass your Sundays ? Are ye still but joggles
In ceaseless wash? Still nought but gapes, and bites,
And drinks, and stares, diversified with boggles?

A Fish Answers

15 Amazing monster! that, for aught I know,

With the first sight of thee didst make our race
For ever stare! O flat and shocking face,
Grimly divided from the breast below!
Thou that on dry land horribly dost go
20 With a split body and most ridiculous pace
Prong after prong, disgracer of all grace,
Long-useless-finn’d, haired, upright, unwet, slow!

O breather of unbreathable, sword-sharp air,

How canst exist? How bear thyself, thou dry
25 And dreary sloth? What particle canst share
Of the only blessed life, the watery?
I sometimes see of ye an actual pair
Go by! linked fin by fin! most odiously.

Questions 21-26

In January 1969, the chemist and researcher Tu Youyou began a

daunting challenge: to find the cure for malaria. The Chinese government had
recruited her to the new project, which was so secret it was called only
Line “Mission 523.” To search for the cure, Tu left her home and family,
5 traveling to a tropical island off the coast of China with her research team.
There, she scoured books about ancient Chinese medicine, hoping to
find a cure to the deadly disease. In one centuries-old tome, called The
Manual of Clinical Practice and Emergency Remedies, she finally found
mention of a potential remedy. In ancient China, doctors had used a plant
10 named sweet wormwood—or, in Chinese, qinghao—to treat malaria. Tu’s
team put the plant to the test. After much trial and error, they found an
active compound, which would become known as artemisinin, that attacked
malaria-causing parasites in the sick person’s blood.
After the compound had been extracted, tested on mice, and proved
15 effective, Tu volunteered to test it on herself to make sure it was safe for
humans. As she has explained, “As the head of this research group, I had the
responsibility.” Thanks to her bravery, she was able to demonstrate that the
compound worked. It became an important part of the fight against malaria,
and has saved millions of lives since then.
20 Tu Youyou, who is now in her eighties, has been the Chief Professor at
the China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine since 2000. When she
received the Nobel Prize in 2015 for her work, she gave credit to all the
scientists on her team, who had “done decades of research together.” Her
work has changed the course of history, showing the lasting value of
25 teamwork, persistence, and curiosity.

Questions 27-30

It seems intuitive that having more options to choose among would result
in greater satisfaction. The evidence is not so clear. It appears that the human
mind does not necessarily work best with abundant options. There is an
Line influential study from 2000 which helps illustrate some of the challenges that
5 choice can present. The study examined how choice can affect people's
purchasing habits.
Imagine you walk into a grocery store and come across a table displaying
sealed bottles of jam and free samples. On one day, there are six different
kinds of jam to choose from. However, on the following day, there are
10 twenty-four different types of jam to sample. How many jams do people taste
and how likely are they to purchase jam on these two different days?
In this study, people sampled the same number of jams regardless of how
many different types were for sale. However, the number of flavors of jam on
display strongly affected whether or not customers actually purchased jam.
15 When there were six different types of jam to choose from, almost a third of
the people who sampled the jam bought at least one jar. However, when
there were twenty-four flavors of jam to choose from, only three percent of
people actually purchased jam.
The human mind can become overwhelmed in the face of too many
20 options. It appears that often the more choices we have to consider, the less
likely we are to choose anything at all. We may just give up and walk away
empty handed.

Questions 31-34

Victor Hugo’s Les Misérables, widely considered to be one of the greatest

novels of all time, was first published in 1862.
Les Misérables translates most closely from French into English as “the
Line miserable ones” or “the wretched.” This term refers to the population of
5 France around the time of the June Rebellion, a period of great economic,
political, and social upheaval, and also refers to the characters in the story,
whose often-tragic stories unfold in that world. In the novel, Victor Hugo
takes readers deep into the Parisian underworld, immersing them in a battle
between good and evil, crime and punishment, and the universal desire to
10 escape the prisons of the human mind.
The book is one of the longest novels in history: the original French text
contains 365 chapters, which total 1,900 pages of writing. Though the story
itself is certainly extensive, another reason for the book’s length is that much
of the novel is actually non-plot-related text on relevant topics. For example,
15 hundreds of pages are devoted to explanations of Paris’s sewer systems,
street urchins, and the different religious orders of the time.
The novel has been an inspiration for countless dramatic adaptations.
The first on-screen mention of the book dates back to 1897 and the earliest
days of motion pictures, when the Lumière brothers released a short film
20 that references the work. The film is less than a minute long and depicts a
man (assumed to be author Victor Hugo) donning different costumes and
wigs to play the roles of the characters in the story. Since then, there have
been hundreds of adaptations for film, television, and stage productions.
Perhaps the most famous adaptation of Hugo’s novel is a musical,
25 written for the stage in 1980. There have been over 53,000 professional
performances total, with productions in 44 countries and translations into 22
different languages. The most recent film adaptation of Les Misérables from
2012 uses the score from this version.
Though many adaptations of Les Misérables have already been
30 produced, we can probably expect more to come in the future.

Questions 35-40

Adapted from “Rashoumon” by Ryunosuke Akutagawa,

translated by René Malenfant, 1915

It happened one evening. A lowly servant was under the Rashomon

gate, waiting for the rain to stop. Under the broad gate, there was no one
but him. On one of the large, round pillars, whose red paint was peeling
Line off in places, there was only a solitary katydid. Because the gate was
5 located on Suzaku Boulevard, you would normally expect to find two or
three other people there, waiting for the rain to let up. But there was nobody
there but him.
You see, over the last two or three years there had been a series
of disasters in Kyoto: earthquakes, whirlwinds, fires and famines. The capital
10 was falling apart in many different ways. According to old records,
Buddhist statues and altars had been smashed, and their
vermilion-lacquered and gold or silver-foiled wood piled up on the side of
the road and sold as kindling. Needless to say, with the capital in this
derelict condition, there was no one to repair the gate, and indeed, nobody
15 gave it a second thought. Taking advantage of this state of neglect, foxes
and badgers began to live there. Robbers lived there. So after sunset,
people got scared, and nobody dared set foot near the gate after dark.
In their place, a large murder of crows had flocked there. During the
day, countless birds could be seen flying around in circles while cawing at
20 the high ornamental ridge-end tiles. They looked just like scattered sesame
seeds, particularly when the sky above the gate turned red at sunset.
Today, however, perhaps because it was late, not a single bird could be
seen. But what you could see were their white droppings, stuck in patches
to the stone steps, which were crumbling in places, with long weeds
25 growing from the cracks. The servant, wearing a navy-blue kimono that
had faded from over-washing, sat down on the seventh-and-top step of the
stone staircase. He watched the rain fall, lost in his own thoughts.
