In class discuss your lists in groups.
Ex. 7. Choose one of the following topics and write a 250-300-
word essay.
1. Some people prefer to live in a small town. Others prefer to
live in a big city. Which place would you prefer to live in? Use
specific reasons and details to support your answer.
2. It is better for children to grow up in the countryside than
in a big city. Do you agree or disagree? Use specific reasons and
examples to develop your essay.
3. City-dwellers often boast about the advantages of urban living,
while the inhabitants of small town think their way of life has more
to offer. Summarize the advantages of these two life styles and say
which you think is more suitable for someone your age. Explain the
reasons for your opinion.
NOTE:
Plan your essay before starting to write.

points and the whole essay.
