Expand the exercise on The Ant and the Grasshopper:
Write a 300-word essay.
There is a British saying that goes, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." This applies to George in the short story by Somerset Maugham. Who do you agree with more: Aesop or Maugham? Explain your answer using examples from your own life and what you have observed in other people. (Other people can be people you know personally or have read about.) In your essay, you will need to briefly summarize both the fable and the short story, "The Ant and the Grasshopper," so your reader will know what you are talking about.
Be sure to check:
1. Did you fully address the topic (the assignment)?
2. Did you organize your paragraphs and sentences so they flow logically?
3. Does your essay "sound" English (have you avoided simply translating from your other language(s)?)
4. Have you proofread carefully for grammatical and spelling errors?
5. Is your essay 300 words?
