Lab 5: Writing practice

Use the week 8 power point to write your composition with: What’s the problem with_____________?

Popular examples: social media, censorship, banning speech, cryptocurrencies, or online learning, but
the reality is, you can fill the blank space with whatever you want.

Remember to include examples of the grammar and other structures we learned in class. Don’t try to
force them in. If it doesn’t sound natural, it’s better to write what sounds good. You don’t need any
academic research for this essay.
