Writing assignment - unit 2

This is your second writing assignment. Follow the steps proposed to build a FOR AND AGAINS ESSAY. You've also got the instructions in your Student's Book, pages 30-31.

1. Open a Word document and write on it your FULL NAME AND GROUP.

2. Read the text and do activity 1 to identify the structure of a for/against essay.


3. Do activities 3, 4 and 5 on page 31 (SB) in your Word document.

4. Final task: write a for and against essay on the advantages and disadvantages of advertising (120-150 words). Use the model you've read. The Useful Expressions* will help you build it. Remember to follow the structure. Use simple grammar structures and write your own ideas and opinions

You can print it (I'd prefer that) or send it via e-mail. Remember to write your name and group on the document. I won't mark any anonymous work.
