Food for Thought: A Model Composition by One of your Classmates
I'd like to post the following composition written by one of your fellow students from NI1. It is a very nice model of an opinion essay, so I really recommend you to read it. Thanks a lot, Luis Miguel, for your generosity.
Short Answers to Hard Questions about Climate Change
Dear students,
Find below two articles from The New York Times and The New Yorker respectively, which will serve as your reading assignment for this week. Both articles deal with climate change, and the negotiations currently being held in Paris, in the twenty-first Annual Conference of the Parties, also known as COP21.
The careful reading of these newspaper articles will be the base for your monthly writing assignment: I will require that you think of a hard question to pose related to this topic, and make the attempt to answer it in one sheet of paper.

So, here it is, especially dedicated to you guys. Hope you enjoy the music, and, of course, fill in the gapped lyrics below!
