Types of essays
There are several different types of essays, each with a different purpose. However, we can select four as the most common, or even most important, types:
- Argumentative - The author states and defends his or her opinion about something.
- Descriptive - The author describes something using sensory language.
- Expository - The author conveys the information he or she knows about a certain topic. No opinion is stated here.
- Narrative - The author tells readers a story, usually personal, that often conveys a message or moral.
The question asks you to write a one-paragraph essay about one of the topics provided. A possibility would be writing an argumentative essay about topic 1. "The community has imposed a curfew of 10:00 P.M. for teenagers under 18, including weekends."
Here is an example of an argumentative essay on that topic:
- "Our community has teenagers' best interest in mind when it made the decision to impose a curfew of 10:00 p.m. for those under the age of 18, including weekends. However, good intentions aside, that curfew is unrealistic for several reasons. First, it is quite common for teenagers, even under the age of 18, to stay out late for solid reasons, such as attending school, working, performing extracurricular activities, and so on. Second, teenagers also need to have a social life, a moment to have fun, and that moment may often be in the nighttime for many of them. Imposing such a curfew will most likely lead teenagers to sneak out, if their purpose is the latter, or will simply disrupt their lives, if their purpose is the former. I believe the curfew to be unnecessary."
With the information above in mind, we can conclude that the essay provided is appropriate for this question.
