I will give you an example of an essay consisting of three paragraphs below.
Explanation:
During my first day in high school, I was very hesitant to talk to my new classmates. All of them almost knew each other because they went to a similar middle school, however, I came from another country. I thought everyone was a snob until a girl suddenly approached me. She was wearing a beautiful smile, which complemented her expensive bag and accessories. I looked over my back to see whether she was calling somebody else, but she wasn't. She wanted to make friends with me.
Days passed by and we became best friends. We shared secrets together and I relied on her in many things. I thought she was the friendliest person in the world until one day. I noticed a group of people laughing at me. I was curious why. Then, one person approached me and told me that my best friend was actually telling them my secrets. Immediately, I realized that first impressions are not really true all the time. The best friend I consider was actually talking about me behind my back.
This experience made me realize that sometimes we get the wrong impression of another person. That person may seem good or bad at the start, but they turn out different in the end. It is always important to know them better before giving out your secrets.

Explanation:
It is Jared from Subway! My whole family is horrified. Jared is an awful person who has done horrible things. My grandmother steps back, shielding my little cousins from him. He is dangerous. That much we know. My aunt shrieks in mortal anguish, demanding answers from my uncle. "Why did you bring that monster into our home!?" she cries, as Jared stands, perfectly calmly, beside my uncle. "I don't know!" screams my uncle. My cousins are all huddled up, crying behind my grandmother, who is holding a long, thin fireplace poker at arms, her very stance threatening to skewer him through. Jared is still standing there, holding a Subway turkey sandwich as if he is not a monster. My grandfather is glaring at Jared, but he does not move. If he stands, he fears he will lunge at Jared. He hates Subway because he hates Jared, and he hates Jared because he is a monster. "He's not even allowed to be this close to children!" screams my aunt, coming very close to punching Jared in the mouth, but thinking better of it. "I'm calling the police" she whispers in a venomous voice, looking at Jared, the horrible, terrible monster that is Jared, as he takes a bite of his dry turkey sandwich. He looks around the room blankly. He seems bored. Of course he's bored, he's a monster. Grandma spit at his feet. "Everyone go to the table. Let's... Eat, and ignore him." Everyone sat, including Jared. Jared from Subway, with his dry Subway turkey sandwich. As the children were served, my Aunt glared daggers at my Uncle and Jared. How could he bring such a horrible person home? To spite her for the divorce? Is that why he brought a monster to Christmas dinner? That would be truly terrible. She watched as Jared took another bite of his dry turkey sandwich. Suddenly, Grandma stood up and slapped his sandwich out of his hand. "You're going to burn, you horrible, horrible man! You know what you did! You know how many innocent lives you have endangered with your horrible ways! Monster!" Her voice ascended in volume while she screamed. She walked a few feet away from him and began bawling. How could her son bring Jared? Why Jared from Subway? My uncle stood up. He shoved Jared out of the kitchen door. He locked it. Everyone began to cry. Jared from Subway was finally gone.
