Using the illustration essays you read as examples, write a 500-word illustration essay about a topic of your choice. You may consider one of the following:
The seriousness of global warming
The neglect of the elderly
The condition of secondary education
Your essay will be graded on its ability to adhere to illustration essay conventions. Does your essay assert some serious problem or point that needs to be illustrated? Does the essay present an illustration that clarifies the main point or your position on the problem? Does the conclusion connect to the opening?
