Esl Writing Prompts

Mabel Said:

“The search for truth and justice is vital in resolving conflicts”?

We Answered:

If you use bombs to settle differences, you are cementing the ill will between the two parties; the winners will be forever looking to their backs and the losers will always be aiming at them.
Negotiation, on the other hand, seeks to understand both sides and each side is prepared to give a little. Thus, the peace which follows is based on the truth of the situation as well as any mitigating circumstances on either side. Each gives a little and expects that to be reciprocated. As well, each side may have to relinquish other things.
This second type of negociattions can take place before or after the conflict. Common sense tells us it is easier to negotiate than to bridge the gap after a war.

What's a good way to explain to students the rhythm of an English/Shakespearean sonnet (iambic pentameter)?

We Answered:

Stephen Fry explains that the iambic pentameter rhythm of sonnets is simply the normal rhythm of standard English sentences. He uses the example

he BEATS a DRUM and MAKES a DREADful NOISE (5 unstressed/stressed beats) =penta
So how about you doing some work with them to get them to produce simple sentences which also use this rhythm? Get them to say the sentences aloud, each child to produce a sentence - all the kids to chant the sentences. Draw these marks on the board above successful sentences - / - / - / - / - /
And write a line of a sonnet on the board, too and do the same with that. I'm sure that they will get it.
Good luck.

I've written an article... what's your opinion on it? Help!?

We Answered:

I like the way you introduce your main theme, that is 'ego running wild' in the middle of the arrangement of the points. It actually triggers the eager of the reader to continue reading the article, as ego is - i can say a quite boring and plain topic. Overall, your sentences are alright.

I think you can make your article more creative by adding good sides of ego, then you can compare that ego has more bad sides than good sides. It actually makes you appear more attentive or aware of the nature of ego itself. Know what i mean?

You can also look up for any research by the scientists, etc found related to ego. :) I can rate your article 7.8/10 on your sentence structure. 6.3/10 on your points on how to be less fake etc. I think your points are more to the strength of willpower, that is hard to practice. To my opinion, that makes your points seems to cannot function well.

But, i like your article anyways. Good luck, hope this helps.

EDIT: I forgot, about titles, you can try 'taming wild egos' or something related to taming, haha, you know. I guess.. Its all about taming egos right? :)
