Write a composition on the ANSWER SHEET in about 150 words, basing yourself on one of the texts you have learned.

TOPIC: Compare the differences between Russell and his sister Doris when they were children. Base your composition on Selling the Post.

    RUSSELL AND DORIS WERE QUITE DIFFERENT WHEN THEY WERE CHILDREN. THOUGH SHE WAS TWO YEARS YOUNGER, DORIS DID MORE HOUSEWORK. SHE WASHED THE DISHES, MADE BEDS, AND CLEANED THE HOUSE. RUSSELL WAS QUITE INACTIVE, AND DID NOT DO THESE THINGS UNLESS HIS MOTHER TOLD HIM TO.
    ALSO DORIS SEEMED TO HAVE MORE "GUMPTION." WHEN RUSSELL WAS EIGHT, HE BEGAN TO SELL A MAGAZINE AFTER SCHOOL. BUT OFTEN HE JUST STOOD AT THE ROADSIDE WAITING FOR PEOPLE TO COME OVER TO HIM. DORIS PROVED TO BE MUCH BETTER AT THE JOB. ONE RAINY NIGHT WHEN RUSSELL RETURNED HOME WITHOUT SELLING A SINGLE COPY, DORIS WENT BACK WITH HIM. SHE WOULD STRIDE TO A CAR AS SOON AS IT STOPPED AT THE RED LIGHT AND KNOCKED AT THE CLOSED WINDOW. WHEN IT OPENED SHE WOULD THRUST A COPY AT THE DRIVER. IN THIS WAY SHE SOON SOLD ALL THE COPIES.
