English Qs

Just answer as you would answer a normal question.

1) Were you ever given the assignment to write an essay (or give a speech) with a thesis that did not represent your own personal opinion? How did you (or how would you) approach this?

2)

Some people like timed examination essays because they can fully explain their viewpoint on an issue, unlike multiple choice options which have only one answer. Also, the student is forced to submit a response in a short period of time, unlike an essay written at home after hours (days?) of procrastination. What are your thoughts on taking timed examination essays?
