Teacher's answer:
10 excellent!
Emma could not believe what she saw in front of her. She had been sitting in the classroom for the las two hours, not thinking about anything except finishing her history exam. Then sudde4nly, feeling that something in her surroundings was not right, she had raised her eyes from the exam paper. The classroom had completely disappeared...
Instead, she saw an infinite blue sky, connected by the thinnest line with an infinite blue sea. She was standing on a ship, but not alone: she was surrounded by sailormen, dressed in 1940s clothes. Emma looked around discovering a man on the top of the mast, who looked very disappointed, shouting "No land at sight!". Ten miniutes went by, nobody seemed to notice her. The sailor who looked like the captain walked on deck, back and forth, back and forth, with the utmost worries written on his face. Suddenly, he axclaimed "Gentlemen, in towo days, if we don't find any land... Our provisions are growing scarcer every day... We will have to go back - or perish...".
With that, Emma appeared in the classroom again, in front of the desperatingly deserted blank sheet of paper. Realising she had just five minutes left, she completed her test, giving a complete description of the main financial problems of Christofulus Columbus's trip to the New Continent, whose ship she had just returned from.
Emma knew that after what she had been through, her life would never be the same again.

Note from the author: I didn't make such an effort for this one, because the teacher just gave us 15 minutes to finish... I even handed her in a poor page, full of words that she had to decipher, for my draft handwriting sucks... It's her fault, for being such a teacher and giving us (me, particularly) no longing to make an effort.
