☆Writing
Topic
Imagine that the
school you attend has received a large donation of money. If you had the power
to decide how to spend this money, how would you choose to use the money? Offer
specific reasons to explain your response.
☆Let’s Think
Reading this question, you might say
to yourself, “This question is a piece of cake. I could use the money for the
drama club I belong to. Building a theater would be a good idea. I have a lot
to write about.” However, you might not be really answering the question well
enough as you write, for the usage of the money should be something that benefits
the whole school either directly or indirectly. Explaining how the drama club can
contribute to the whole school might be a necessary part of your essay.
Finding something that contributes
to a large number of students would be a choice easier to write about. It can
be for the improvement of the thing that already exists or it can be something
that does not exist. Here are some things that can be the hint for the needs
you could write about:
1.
facilities: library, computer room, laboratory, gymnasium,
cafeteria
2.
system: exchange students program, scholarship
3.
environment: buildings, surrounding areas, trees and lawns
Now let’s ask ourselves some
questions about the needs and answer them.
1.
Problem:
What is wrong?
e.g. Many students cannot afford
home stay. Also, even for students who can afford it, it consumes a lot of time
and energy.
2.
Goal:
What should be done?
e. g. I would set up a fund for a domestic
home stay program. Through the program, students stay at homes of native
speakers of English who are staying in Japan.
3.
Expected
Benefits: How will it benefit my school?
e.g. The financial burden would be
lighter, and in case something goes wrong, adjustment can be done more quickly
and easily than the case of real home stay.
