Plagiarism is bad, no matter how you apply it. I have also referred to a lot of sample of essays at this website and I have also used some of the sample words or phrases for my templates; however, I did not copy a full sentence ever. I suggest you look at a couple of good ones you like and then make your own sentences out of these essays to use in your template.
