A good writing sample is direct and gets to the point. Even though they give you a whole page, don’t feel like you need to use every line. Instead, state your conclusion—your main point—in your first sentence. Then support it. Then stop.
1. In the first sentence, state which choice you support.
2. In the next three to six sentences, give three reasons why you support it.
- Make sure each reason relates to the two criteria.
- Keep it short but substantive by not repeating yourself.
- Although the [other choice] has benefit X, person Y should still go with [your choice] because of reason Z.
That's it. No need to go further. Writing more for the sake of writing more will hurt your writing sample. They won't appreciate your verbosity.
