"Write about an ocean incident you have experienced."
Sample Response:
When I was a kid, my family frequently took ocean vacations and one experience particularly stands out. It happened to us on our first of many trips to Virginia Beach. I was about eleven years old, and my mom and I polished our toenails red. Whenever we went into the ocean, which was often, we noticed that there were a lot of crabs right near our feet. It was pretty annoying and we started to get a little paranoid about going into the water. Well, by chance, my dad was taking my brother fishing and had to stop by the bait shop first. It turns out that the bait crabs like is the blood worm. Yes, they're red. Yes, we changed the color of our toenail polish! Lesson learned about red toes in the ocean near Virginia Beach.

Blood worms, indeed! -
