    Essay Guidelines

    Do you know English is NOT the official national languages in the US? Do you know only 28 states in the US have established English as the official language? How does a new country that is made up of immigrants identify itself given there is no official national language? For essay assignment 3, you’re asked to write an ARGUMENT essay based on your understanding from this week’s readings and videos.

For example, do you feel more gentle, aggressive, nagging, convincing, powerful, logical or concise (and there are many other characteristics which define the speaker of that specific language) with your native language or English?
