Lab 39

For Friday, 07/31/09

In the Longman Textbook:
1.) Read "Writing Skill 10: Write the Introduction" pp. 277-278
2.) Write two introductions (based on the plans you wrote yesterday) for Writing Exercise 10

Writing Exercise:
Today in lab time you will write a complete TOEFL Independent Task Response. Take 30 minutes to plan, write, and revise a response to the following question. Remember that the more you write, the better (approximately 300 words); however, make sure that your content is cohesive and your topic is focused on answering the question. (This is an actual question from a past test.)

Some people think that human needs for farmland, housing, and industry are more important than saving land for endangered animals. Do you agree or disagree with this point of view? Why or why not? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

Vocabulary Exercise: With the rest of your lab time play the FreeRice vocab game.
