Welcome to writing class - Week 1
Dear students,
Today I will assess your writing level, so please answer the following question:
Some people say that everyone should retire at age sixty-five, whereas others argue that this should not be the case. Discuss both points of view before concluding with your opinion
Your essay should be at least four paragraphs, and you may work alone or in a group.
Kind regards,
Chris Elvin
