Writing Topic
What sort of setting would you like for your
home, a traditional house in the county or an urban apartment building built in
a modern style? Use specific reasons and details to support your choice.
☆Let’s
think
I have seen quite a few students write, in answering this question, “I
would like to live in a high-tech mansion in a resort.” The honest conclusion
for most of us would be something like this image, but discussing the
conditions given in the writing topic would also be a good idea to write a good
essay on this topic.
A traditional house in the county and an urban apartment building in
a modern style are two ultimate images of housing. Would you like to have a
relaxed life close to nature or would you like to spend every day in an
atmosphere that stimulates all of your senses?
Which do you prioritize in your life, nature or civilization? Which
would you prefer, an idyllic setting or urban setting?

☆Two ways of dealing with opposite ideas (Two types of body
structures for a choice question)
Try either of
the following two ways of dealing with choices in the writing topic to make a
framework of the body of your full essay.
♦Comparing choices
point by point
You write about both choices comparing and
contrasting them point by point.
e.g.
(1) Point 1: Comparison of the environment,
convenience, and security
(2) Point 2: Comparison of the leisure
activities
(3) Your preference (choice)
♦Developing
images of each choice
You write about
each choice separately.
e.g.
(1) About living in a traditional house in
the county
(2) About living in an urban apartment building
built in a modern style
(3) Your preference (choice)
