Practice Essay...



Tonight we had our practice essay.  I asked the students to choose one of the following topics: 


1.  Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: People are never satisfied with what they have; they always want something more or something different.  Use specific reasons to support your answer. 
2.  Many people believe television violence has a negative effect on society because it promotes violence.  Do you agree or disagree?  Use specific reasons and examples to support your response. 
3.  It is sometimes said that lending money to a friend can harm or damage the friendship.  Do you agree?  Why or why not?  Use specific reasons and examples to explain your answer. 

Briefly plan your essay then write a complete draft using facts, details, personal observation, and/or examples as appropriate to support your ideas.  When you have finished, proofread and edit your work.
