If you were to write a book, on what theme or subject matter would it be based and Why? (Stanford/93)
There are lots of different types of book. Each type of books has certain theme. Fiction has a made up story, or can be a real story. Also, there are books that are written based on the experiences of authors. Personally, I like those books that are written by authors’ experiences, especially when I am depressed, stressed and I do not what to do. Those books indicate what I should do to overcome these depressions. It is because the authors who wrote those had been in the same situation and they overcame that. In my opinion, this type of books can help teenagers a lot as they struggle and choose their ways for their future.
For this reason, if I were to write a book, I want to write a book about emotions or life when I grow and become old enough to talk about life. Recently, I read a book named Tuesday With Morrie, this book talks about life. While I was reading this book, I felt that I do neglect some really important things in my life such as regrets, family, culture, forgiveness and many other things. I always thought about myself so I felt I should get all the good things, and I realized that my thought was wrong. Because of this book, I looked back my short life and found lots of flaws that I had in my mind. This helped to make myself more grateful with I have.
With my book, I want to make a good connection with teenagers who are lost or need advice. Since I went through that time, I needed a lot of help and advices, and people who were around me helped me lots and gave me helpful advices. Especially, my father bought me a book to read to overcome the confusion or depression. At first, I really did not want to read because I thought I would not feel anything from it except getting annoyed. However, I slowly liked the book and eventually it was a big tool to know what I was struggling with. After this, I started believing that book can be a great thing to people.
I want to experience heaps of things in my life so that I can help them with my book. Also, I believe as I write a book I will learn more about life and keep it as I look back my life.

If you notice, you are not really responding to the question. Don't give them a lesson on the types of books and then don't tell them about a book you've read. The question was different and they will notice you didn't answer the question. It is important to appear savvy and capable.
