Writing


Analytical Writing• Analyze an Issue• Analyze an Argument


Analytical Writing• Analyze an IssueAs people rely more and more on technology to solve problems, the ability of humans to think for themselves will surely deteriorate.

Discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the statement and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should consider ways in which the statement might or might not hold true and explain how these considerations shape your position.


Analytical Writing• Analyze an ArgumentIn surveys Mason City residents rank water sports (swimming, boating and fishing) among their favorite recreational activities. The Mason River flowing through the city is rarely used for these pursuits, however, and the city park department devotes little of its budget to maintaining riverside recreational facilities. For years there have been complaints from residents about the quality of the river's water and the river's smell. In response, the state has recently announced plans to clean up Mason River. Use of the river for water sports is therefore sure to increase. The city government should for that reason devote more money in this year's budget to riverside recreational facilities.

Write a response in which you examine the stated and/or unstated assumptions of the argument. Be sure to explain how the argument depends on the assumptions and what the implications are if the assumptions prove unwarranted.


Analytical Writing• (1) Analyze an Issue• (2) Analyze an Argument• Issue is 「 Give your opinion regarding

the given question 」• Argument は : 「 Find other’s views

regarding the given question 」• Understand the question, write logically

and professionally regarding agree/disagree
