Daily Writing for March 12, 2001
- Use these questions below to guide your writing, but
use paragraph form.
- Begin each paragraph with a topic sentence. Use
coordinating conjunctions, adjective clauses and adverbial
conjunctions to combine and link shorter sentences. Use a variety
of sentence structures.
Write about your experience so far at TIUA and in the United
States. Write one or more paragraphs, but write as much as possible.
Begin each paragraph with a topic sentence; then give
details and examples. Don't be too general.
If you wish, you may use these questions for ideas about what
to write. You can include other topics, too.
- In general, how would you describe your experience in the U.S.
so far?
- What parts of American culture have you found the hardest to
live with?
- What is the biggest adjustment you have had to make since
living in the U.S.?
- What do you miss the most about your native culture?
- What has been most interesting?
- What have you learned?
