Image result for happy new year 2018

Welcome back! 
You survived the first week of "Academic Writing".

Your writing has given me some insight into what you need to work on, and I'd like to leave a little homework for this weekend. 

INSTRUCTIONS: 
  1. Choose one of the topics below. 
  2. Write for 30-45 minutes about that topic. 
  3. Proofread/Edit what you have written. 
  4. Share with me in a google doc. 
TOPICS: 
  • Should students’ textbooks be replaced by notebook computers?
  • Should cities offer free public Wi-Fi?
  • Should alcohol manufacturers be allowed to advertise on television?
  • Is it appropriate for students and teachers to be friends on Facebook?
  • Eating a balanced diet is the most important factor for a healthy life. To what extent do you agree?
  • Do you think that modern technology, such as the internet and computers will ever replace the book or the written word as the main source of information?
  • Many high-level positions in companies are filled by men even though the workforce in many developed countries is more than 50 per cent female. Companies should be required to allocate a certain percentage of these positions to women. To what extent do you agree?
