Writing English 2B: 4th writing assignment・作文4

Hello!



How are you? Today I will show you the first writing assignment for the fall semester - the 4th writing assignment (作文4) in total - writing about a problem and a solution.

While I have given all of you the handout about it, this post is a reminder for you in another way about what you can do for this assignment.

Task
You have two (2) choices on what to write about. Choose one (1) of them:

1. Write about a problem with a roommate (based on the textbook review pg. 55)

In this topic, look at the brainstormed notes on the textbook pg. 55. Follow the steps on the page in choosing what the problems are and what the solutions are. Write a 3-4 paragraph paper on the problem shown on pg. 55, and a solution to it. I would like you to go deep and far with it – in it, be creative and really show an interesting solution to the problem. Please remember that your solution does not have to be like a classmate’s solution – the more different, and especially the more unique, the better!

2. Write about a real problem you had that had a real solution

In this topic, follow this as it says – think of a real problem you have had that you found a real solution to. It could be about anything – something at school, at a part-time job, or within your family. (But if you have had a real problem that is very serious and you don’t want to write about it, that’s okay – you do not have to write about something that is sensitive to you, even if it had a good solution.)

How much to write

As I show at the top, I would like to see around 3-4 paragraphs. (Make the paragraphs at least a little longer!) But if you can write even a little more – go for it!

Deadline (締め切り)
IIt will be October 26th (10/26), so I want you to bring in a first draft (下書き) next week (10/19) in your notebooks in pencil


Next week, I will give you another handout, and post the same information on the handout, about some important points for your final draft on this blog. Please follow these important points! Then write to the finish outside of class on and turn in your final draft on 10/26. 



Good luck with this! I hope you can have fun with this, and enjoy writing about a problem and a solution.

See you next time!
