Writing Task: Exam Part 1 Essay

Hello everyone!

This is the writing task for this week and you shouldn't be able to see it until we have completed the webmaze pre-task. If you can see this entry and you haven't done the pre-task yet please let me know in a comment so I can send it to you.

As always I expect this task to be done and posted in your personal blog on the group before the week is over so I can take a look, give you feedback and work with you on improving it during the following week.

The task is as follows:

---

You attended a college debate that discussed ways of encouraging more people to be more environmentally friendly in their energy use and production. You have made the notes below:

How can individuals protect the environment through their home energy policy?

-Subsidised solar panels

-Free insulation

-Replacing heating systems

Some opinions expressed during the debate:

"Governments should be doing this, not individuals!"

"Heating old, cold buildings helps nobody."

"Solar panels take decades to pay for themselves!"

Write an essay, discussing two of the ideas in your notes. You should explain which idea would help protect the environment most, giving reasons in support of your answer.

You may, if you wish, make use of the opinions expressed in the debate, but you should use your own words as far as possible.

---

Remember to try and use the new vocabulary and structures we have seen during our latest lessons on global warming.

Good luck ;)
