C1a - titles and a reminder about this Friday

A quick reminder for all C1a students - as previously mentioned, this Friday's lesson will be a little earlier than the usual time, from 13.40 to 15.40, usual room.

As promised, here are the two composition titles that I mentioned in class, as many of you didn't have time to write them down. Choose the one you prefer, and write aroudn 250 words. The deadline for handing these in is Friday, 2nd December.

a) - Damien Hirst quite controversially said that, "an artist doesn't really need to create any more." Many "Young British Artists" seem to focus on being controversial as much as on creating great works of art. Which is the main role of an artist, or should both live side by side?

b) - "Pink toys are turning girls into passive princesses" - is it correct to say that the choice of toys for boys and girls determines their future characters, or are toys simply objects which entertain children, with no influence in shaping the person that they will become?

Friday's debate was fun - try to put the same bright energies into the writing.

...and don't forget to bring jokes in English to Friday's lesson, the ones so far seem to have been much appreciated by everyone!
