I am applying to a PhD program in the US (nutritional sciences), and they require me to submit a writing sample, but as I'm from Spain all of my previous work is in Spanish. I have thought about translating and submitting my Master's Thesis , but there is a 10 page limit. I don't know if you recommend submitting one section and which one should I choose (abstract, introduction, results and discussion, more than one section...) or summarize the thesis in 10 pages. I feel like the results and discussion would be the best option but it uses a lot of terminology that it's impossible to understand without Materials and Methods section.

Also, should I include the bibliography if there are references in the text and do they count for the page limit (the program's webpage doesn't specify this)?

Since they likely want an English language text, a translation probably isn't appropriate. But they don't need a complete work.

One option is to write a summary of your masters thesis in English. Perhaps something you might prepare if you had to give a lecture on the subject to an English speaking audience.
