ESSAY TASK

Here is the essay you've been assigned for homework, which is due on Tuesday the 25th September:


Your class has listened to a radio discussion about the advantages and disadvantages of receiving different types of presents.  You have made the notes below:

Types of present
  • luxuries
  • homemade items
  • experiences
Some opinions expressed in the discussion:

"The best presents are things you couldn't afford to buy for yourself."

"If someone's spent time making a present for me, it shows how much they care."

"I don't need more things - I'd rather be taken to the theatre or a football match."

Write an essay discussing two of the types of present in your notes.  You should explain which of these types of present is best to receive, giving reasons in support of your answer.

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

Write your answer in 220-260 words in an appropriate style.
