In the first sentence, “ I don’t know what time it was outside at the time” is very awkward. (Time is said more than once and you need to remove it) (outside is also said more than once) I would suggest changing the first sentence completely. Maybe to “ As I wandered around outside the palace, I lost track of the time. A beautiful lake had caught my eye.”
Sentence two contains passive voice which is generally looked down upon in writing.
Sentence two also is almost a run-on sentence. (Some teachers might count it, others might not) I would still suggest changing it.
Your use of transitional phrases is pretty low, which makes the whole piece choppy. (/a strong use of “and”)
I suggest going through the entire thing and using stronger words, just to advance the writing. (Example: instead of using “loud” use “clamorous”) (it seems pretentious but trust me the person grading won't think so)
It's a good start, however, I would suggest going through and really being a huge stickler on some of the sentences. If it's possible, maybe try having multiple people read it over. Different people see different things.
Hope this helped!

Which two topics are best for classification writing?
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:Locate the top three Mexican restaurants in Maine.  Identify the four most nutritious types of food.

Explanation:Classification is sorting things into groups or categories. It can be also be considered as a simple division. In this case, the two chosen topics are best for classification writing because they allow to develop a general subject (Mexican restaurants, and Nutritious food) and then divide those subjects into smaller categories like, the Mexican restaurants in Main, then the best and the worst Mexican restaurants in Maine or the most nutritious types of food, in this way, we can later select the number of elements required in each case (3 restaurants, 4 types of food)
