Maria Marians has actively engaged in learning the production of handmade soft toys for
little children for several years since she has left high school. Even though she is currently
working as a Manager in a reputed company, she creatively designs and produces soft
toys during her free time. She is now wondering whether she should engage in barter
using her soft toys to purchase her household necessities or whether she should sell her
soft toys to earn a profit.

Considering the above scenario explain to Maria Marians,

1) What she needs to consider if she opts to trade using barter system, and

2) How to improve her profit if she opts to sell her supplies.

To accomplish your assignment, you will need to:

1. Choose any book or journal article that related to the question. You can choose any
topic in Sri Lankan issues or abroad. While you are reading, sometime you will find that
the opinion or suggestion that you are agree with that. So, you can state your idea or
opinion. Opinion and ideas must be based or supported by references.
2. You might need to read many references and evaluate them before selecting which
ones will be involved in your writing.
3. Thus, you will need to incorporate support from several sources of different views. This
type of assignment requires you to examine a variety of sources and identify their
relationship to your topic.
4. Arrange multiple sources per point to increase your credibility.
5. Follow the following format:

A. The introduction (usually one paragraph)

 Contains a one-sentence statement that sums up the focus of your topic or the
introduction about the article.
 Sometimes also provides pertinent background about the general topic from
which the texts are drawn.

B. The body
 This should be organized by any point or content that you found. Please do not
mix 2 or more point in the one paragraph. Separate it in to different paragraph.
In order to make your explanation become interesting, you need another extra
information that you can get from the library or another sources.
 Be sure that each paragraph:
1. Begins with a sentence or phrase that informs readers of the topic of
the paragraph (a topic sentences);
2. Includes information from more than one source; and clearly indicates
which material comes from which source using in-text citations to avoid
plagiarism.
3. shows the similarities or differences between the different sources in
ways that make the paper as informative as possible;

 Titles and subtitles can be used throughout the essay to emphasis different
issues

C. Conclusion.
 Remind readers of the most significant themes you have found and the ways
they connect to the overall topic. You may also want to suggest further
research or comment on things that it was not possible for you to discuss in the
paper.
