Sample essay:

           Wolfgang Mozart is a famous Austrian composer. Mozart was born in 1756 in Salchburg, Austria. His father, a violinist and a composer, noticed wonderful talent of his son and taught him how to play musical instruments and to compose. Being 4 years old Mozart played the clavier. When he was 5 or 6 years old he started composing music At the age of 8— 9 Mozart created his first symphonies, and at the age of 10-11 his first creations for musical theatre.
            When he was 6 years old his father decided to take him and his sister to the big cities of Europe. Two children gave concerts in Germany, Austria, France, England, Switzerland» The audience was delighted to see such a small boy playing the clavier. When he was 14 he was invited to Italy. He could not imagine his life without music. By the age of 19 he was the author of ten major musical works.
            At the age of 26 he moved from his native town to Vienna. Though he didn't have a great success as a composer in Vienne, Mozart wrote many songs, serenades, symphonies. Poverty and desease speeded up his death. He died at the age of 35. The real fame came to Mozart only after his death. Many people now know and like his music.

Sample final version

 Maria Sklodowska – Curie was a scientist. She was born in Warsaw, in1867.                                                

At the age of 17 Maria wanted to be a scientist, but she couldn’t study in Poland, so she went to Paris and began to study Physics at Sorbonne. In 1894 Maria met Pierre Curie, he was also a scientist. A year later, they got married. After that they worked together on radioactive materials.  After many years of work they discovered radium. In 1934 Maria Sklodowska – Curie died of cancer.

Maria and Pierre Curie received a Nobel Prize twice.  Now we use an X-ray for medicine. I think that it’s very useful.
