Prompt (Question Posed) for ACT Writing Exam


The following prompt for an ACT practice writing test is taken from one of my older but still very useful ACT preparation manuals  >>>>>

 

Barron’s Pass Key to the ACT (Happauge, New York:  Barron’s Educational Series, Inc., 2004) , p.260.

 

Prompt:

 

Many high school history courses acquaint students with societies both past and present.  English classes read and study many novels, stories, and plays that portray life in other times and places.  Learning about other people and other eras, in fact, is an important part of an education and often inspires students to imagine what it might be like to live in another place and time.

 

If you were somehow actually given the opportunity to lead your life in a place and time different from the here and now, would you take it?  If so, write an essay that identifies your destination and cites the reasons for your choice.  If not, write an essay explaining why you would decline the offer.
