Formal essays should be typed on Microsoft Word and emailed to me before class on 10/26. Please see the files in the Dropbox folder for more details about the formatting requirements. Choose ONE of the following topics:
Comparative essay
Choose two cities, or two popular travel destinations, and write about the similarities and/or differences between these places.
Choose two characters from a film or novel, and write about the similarities and/or differences between them.
Cause-effect essay
Imagine Korean universities decided to stop using the Suneung exam for university admissions. Write a cause-effect essay discussing the possible effects of this decision.
Write about the possible effects of a current issue you have read about in the news recently. For example, what are the causes (reasons for creating) and the possible effects of (changes that will result from) the Kim Young-ran Act? Or why has Donald Trump become a popular candidate for the U.S. Presidency, and what might be some of the possible effects of a Trump Presidency? You can choose any current issue, as long as you focus on the causes and possible effects.
Explanatory essay

Think of some aspect of Korean culture that you think might be confusing to foreigners. Explain some of the historical, social, traditional, religious, etc. reasons for why this cultural tradition is important to Koreans.
