Essay #1


Question:

There are a lot of stray dogs in Taiwan, and they often defecate on the sidewalk and streets, they chase (and sometimes bite) people, they kill wild animals, they spread disease, and they make Taiwan look bad. Considering the above points, all stray dogs should be captured and killed. Very obviously, every single solution that we have come up with regarding the stray dog problem has failed, so this is our only true option. Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Explain. 1 paragraph (5 sentences: a topic sentence followed by 3 supporting sentences and a conclusion), double-spaced, 12-font.

Sample answer of a paragraph

I totally agree that all stray dogs should be killed because the stray dog situation is out of control. First, the government will never spend a lot of money to solve this problem, therefore, the there is no way to pay to put the dogs in a shelter or to neuter them. Secondly, stray dogs are dangerous; not only do they chase people, but they sometimes kill people. Can you imagine being eaten to death by stray dogs? Finally, Taiwan is a rich country and it should appear more like Japan and Singapore, not like Thailand. In conclusion, there is, unfortunately, no other viable alternative -let's kill all the stray dogs right now!
