Every time you see "Extended Writing Assignment" in this website, it means an essay, such as: "Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of studying abroad." You may have to write about 600 to 800 words and you may have to use quotations (or paraphrases or summaries) by other writers to support your ideas. You may have a week or more to write this essay, and you might also have the chance to get feedback from your teacher on a first draft before you submit your final essay.
