It's easy to be creative when you have kidney beans, pinto beans, black beans, lima beans, black-eyed peas, garbanzo beans (chickpeas), split peas and lentils in your pantry. Take advantage of their various shapes, sizes and colors when planning meals.
During an essay test, usually one or two paragraphs will answer short essay questions. For big essay tests, where there is only 1 question for a whole hour-long test, you will be expected to compose an entire essay. In that case, write 5 paragraphs including all the parts of a composition of between 1-2 written pages.
Note how much time you have to respond and budget your time accordingly. If you have one hour to complete the essay, allot 10 minutes to prewriting, 40 minutes to writing and 10 minutes to revising. Use the same ratio if you have more or less time to write your essay. Begin by creating an outline. Respond to each part of the prompt with a short phrase or sentence.
