Yes, it's true. Write about how important water is. Write about how water flooded the earth and made you the last survivor on earth. Write about your boyfriend named Water. Write about the existence of water on other planets. Write anything smile.gif

EDIT: Anything to do with water lol ( in case you literally write anything and blame me for getting out of topic ). As long as Water plays a central role in your story/factual essay, even if you use it as the name of your dog, you can't get out of topic with a question so vague.

Haha nice essay, though you have to admit that unless you have a decent eng teacher (which is lacking in msia), more than half of it is wasted on them and high marks are achieved by their lack of understanding.
My preference as of late is to forgo entertaining stories for depth of thought. Sadly, depth is often under-appreciated in the malaysian high school level.

What school do you go to, Iwanurmoney?

Depth of thought has no relation whatsoever to factual essays haha. That would be depth of knowledge and exposure. I'm talking about philosophy and creation theories, the meaning of life, the greatest fallacies that plague our society etc. I see no reason to play it safe when writing essays as the whole point in writing essays is to express opinions and entertain. Provided you have a sufficient grasp of the language, i believe that it is infinitely better than plain-jane grammatically sound but intellectually empty essays. Satire, irony, using Filibusters in an essay to convey a point. All this is lost to most.

Don't just be an english teacher, be a columnist, be an author smile.gif
