Those Chinese in the photo are: 1. Is their salary cover their cost when they were at school? Most of them said yes. Their salary is more than what they have paid on tuition. 2. How long did it take them to be the manger of the hotel? 4-6 years. 3. Do you have the chance to work in another country? Most of them said yes. You need to write one page for each step.

Read pages 218 – 228 and pages 427 – 432 in" rel="nofollow">in your textbook. Then write at least 300 words in" rel="nofollow">in total to answer all of the questions below. We are begin" rel="nofollow">innin" rel="nofollow">ing to work on argumentative essays. In the chapter about argumentative genres, the textbook uses examples of prin" rel="nofollow">int advertisements, and in" rel="nofollow">in class on Monday (March 20) we discussed video advertisements and public service announcements. What does an advertisement have to do with an argumentative essay? (In other words, what do an advertisement and an argumentative essay have in" rel="nofollow">in common?) Pages 219, 220, and 221 show advertisements for the U.S. Army. Study these three advertisements, and then answer the followin" rel="nofollow">ing questions: Who is the audience for the advertisement on page 219? (Be specific. Your answer should be more specific than “the general population” or even “people who might join" rel="nofollow">in the army.”) Who is the audience for the advertisement on page 220? (The same note about bein" rel="nofollow">ing specific also applies here.) Which of the three advertisements do you thin" rel="nofollow">ink is the most effective at recruitin" rel="nofollow">ing people to join" rel="nofollow">in the Army? Why do you thin" rel="nofollow">ink that? On Monday in" rel="nofollow">in class, we watched several public service announcement videos. Imagin" rel="nofollow">ine that you are designin" rel="nofollow">ing a public service announcement to persuade people to call a suicide prevention hotlin" rel="nofollow">ine if they are feelin" rel="nofollow">ing suicidal. Then, answer these questions: Teenagers, in" rel="nofollow">in particular, are at risk for suicide. What kin" rel="nofollow">inds of images would you in" rel="nofollow">include in" rel="nofollow">in your video if the target audience were teenagers? Servicemen and women returnin" rel="nofollow">ing from war zones are also at particular risk for suicide. What kin" rel="nofollow">inds of images would you in" rel="nofollow">include in" rel="nofollow">in your video if the target audience were soldiers or former soldiers? The textbook has examples of opin" rel="nofollow">inion columns, op-eds, and letters to the editor, all three of which seek to persuade an audience. The first example (pages 223 – 224), an opin" rel="nofollow">inion column for a student newspaper, has a sarcastic tone. What is it tryin" rel="nofollow">ing to convin" rel="nofollow">ince the audience? The second example (pages 224 – 225), is a letter to the editor of a student newspaper. What does it seek to convin" rel="nofollow">ince its readers? What are two reasons it gives? Which of these two writin" rel="nofollow">ings do you thin" rel="nofollow">ink is more convin" rel="nofollow">incin" rel="nofollow">ing and why? What is one topic you are considerin" rel="nofollow">ing for your argumentative essay? (Remember that you are supposed to write about somethin" rel="nofollow">ing related to Lin" rel="nofollow">incoln or your college experience. If you are leanin" rel="nofollow">ing towards one particular topic, such as Lin" rel="nofollow">incoln’s cafeteria or the bookstore, use that topic here so that these questions can help you get a jump start on writin" rel="nofollow">ing your essay.) Why are you in" rel="nofollow">interested in" rel="nofollow">in this topic? If you have been personally impacted by this topic, explain" rel="nofollow">in how. The section in" rel="nofollow">in your textbook titled “Developin" rel="nofollow">ing a Thesis (or Claim),” begin" rel="nofollow">innin" rel="nofollow">ing on page 427, explain" rel="nofollow">ins that once you’ve identified a topic, you need to develop a claim for your essay. The textbook suggests that you brain" rel="nofollow">instorm many different claims before you settle on one. One strategy you can use to decide on a claim is to ask yourself several questions, called stasis questions. The last four of the stasis questions listed in" rel="nofollow">in the textbook are especially helpful. What are they? Choose one of the four stasis questions you identified in" rel="nofollow">in question 3, write it below, and then answer that question about the topic you identified above. (See the example in" rel="nofollow">in blue text for an idea of how to answer this question.) Topic: The high cost of college Stasis Question: What are its effects? Answer: The skyrocketin" rel="nofollow">ing cost of higher education is causin" rel="nofollow">ing a lot of students to not be able to afford college. Some students attend college for a year or two but end up havin" rel="nofollow">ing to drop out due to the cost. Those who do graduate from college often fin" rel="nofollow">ind themselves with student loan debt up to $30,000 or more. In the long-term, even college graduates are sometimes unable to fin" rel="nofollow">ind jobs that pay a salary high enough that they can repay their loans and still pay for all their livin" rel="nofollow">ing expenses, so often people are unable to buy houses or cars or other thin" rel="nofollow">ings that they want or need. As a result, many college graduates have to move back in" rel="nofollow">in with their parents. In the big picture, this problem of skyrocketin" rel="nofollow">ing costs of higher education contributes to the problem of poverty in" rel="nofollow">in the United States because people who don’t go to college are more likely to end up in" rel="nofollow">in poverty. The section titled “Locatin" rel="nofollow">ing Evidence through Research” describes a writer named Terrence, who was attemptin" rel="nofollow">ing to write an argumentative essay about in" rel="nofollow">incarcerated mothers and their children. Accordin" rel="nofollow">ing to this section, Terrence identified several forms of evidence he could use in" rel="nofollow">in his essay. Just as Terrence did, thin" rel="nofollow">ink about the topic you identified as a possibility for your argumentative essay (see your answer to question #1 above). Then, identify and fully describe at least two types of evidence you might look for and possibly use in" rel="nofollow">in your argumentative essay. (The forms of evidence in" rel="nofollow">include examples or personal narratives, statistical data, testimony from experts, in" rel="nofollow">information from articles and other texts, and fin" rel="nofollow">indin" rel="nofollow">ings from research studies. See the example in" rel="nofollow">in blue text for an idea of how you might answer this question.) One type of evidence I could use for my essay is numerical data because if I’m talkin" rel="nofollow">ing about the skyrocketin" rel="nofollow">ing costs of college education, then I need to prove that the cost of college is in" rel="nofollow">indeed goin" rel="nofollow">ing up. Therefore, I could fin" rel="nofollow">ind data about the tuition of college twenty years ago, ten years ago, and today. Another type of evidence I could use is a story of my friend John, who graduated from college with $20,000 in" rel="nofollow">in student loan debt. Because of his debt, he moved back in" rel="nofollow">in with his grandma so that he could pay more on his student loans. This story about John would be good evidence to prove that student loan debt is causin" rel="nofollow">ing graduates to be unable to pay their bills. Fin" rel="nofollow">inally, I might try to fin" rel="nofollow">ind an article on the in" rel="nofollow">internet about the in" rel="nofollow">income needed to avoid livin" rel="nofollow">ing in" rel="nofollow">in poverty. As you anticipate workin" rel="nofollow">ing on your argumentative essay, what do you thin" rel="nofollow">ink will be the most challengin" rel="nofollow">ing part? Why?
