Writing Feedback / sat essay: Do people succeed by emphasizing their difference from others? [3]
I would say, first and foremost, to check spelling, grammar, and structure, as that is important and should come easily to you on the SAT. Now, on the details...
"Please allow me to illustrate my point using the judo master, Tanaka Akira and second biggest cab company in USA, Avis company, as examples."
Don't tell the read what you are going to do. Do it. Stating it means wasting time you could be using to pat your essay with some more content.
"Since 5"
Try re-wording this, and remember that the accepted style is that numbers zero through nine are written out and ten can be written or typed out like 10. Everything thereafter is typed using numbers.
"a serious disease left him a powerless right arm that he could not even hold chopsticks"
The meaning is understood, but poorly written. Remember to aim for clarity and not lose sight of how you started your sentences.
You want to add more than just examples. Opine on it more, and use your examples to support yourself, not make them the crux of your argument. And at the end, in a sentence or two, bring everything full circle rather than blatantly declaring that you are right because of what you said.
