Posting of AWA Essay [#permalink] New post   05 Aug 2003, 08:41
I was thinking if we can have a new forum index - AWA where
we practise on writing essays, and we put into attachments.

We put the topic on here e.g.

"Wisdom is rightfully attributed not to people who know what to look for in life but to people who know what to overlook."

Then members can go into any topic, read, and rank the essay. The readers can comment on the essay for example what are the weaknesses, or the good points for others to emulate.

Any comments? By the way, can anyone download the attachments. I tried my own attachment, but I ccould not download. Is it due to my internet?

Achievements are far more important. Every one has weaknesses. Most big achievements represent fundamental insight into some aspect of nature, human life and that significantly contribute to our present view of the world. History is not affected by person's life but rather his views. What is the ramification of Gandhi beating his wife - Nothing..

Dear HTH,

That is profound. Simply, I hope BB and the company can
form a forum for us to discuss on AWA Essays. Others can criticise
or comment on the essays just like marking of the essay as
more often than not, one would not know how he or she perform without
any feedback.

Tze Wei

PS. Did Gandhi, the famous Ganhi ever beat his wife???

I have skimmed through most of the topics on analysis of an issue of the AWA from the OG - primarily because I wanted to have an idea if I could manage 3 decent points on DDay for any topic. I believe it makes no sense to write out all the essays ( atleast for me!) but to have a quick run thru of the topics and see if they are manageable. However, there are some essays that I cant think of any good points for...and I am posting one of them..If anybody can think of a few points to jot down, Id be most obliged.

BB/IamJha how about posting this link in the links section. I could do it myself but don't want to take undue credit.

Good Idea I think :-)
I will start one right now

:cool



Let's give it a few weeks to see if people are interested in the idea - I personally think it is a great one!

The link is there already as far as I know.
That's a big database of essays, as well as there is a database of some stats but I am not sure about the details.
