Working on essay #4
As I continue to work on my forth essay I find it difficult to find people to interview and just find information for my topic Bilingual Education. I think interviewing family or friends who have leanred a second language is going to be great for my essay but I feel like I need some other type of interview for my essay. Having a good interview would allow me to hear the different stories and sides that people had in their lives when learning a second or even third language. Apart from finding interviews I find it hard to keep my essay a little less opinionated and more fact based becasue I feel like I could relate to this essay a lot being that I also had to learn a second language growing up. Overall I feel really exited researching for this topic because I find it really interesting knowing about others opinons on learning another langauge and how that has affected their lives.
Jasmine, you shouldn't worry about your essay being "opinionated." The whole point is that you bring your perspective into this writing assignment. As long as you back up your opinions w/ facts--your facts, the facts you read about in good sources--then no reader will care about your opinions.
