Choose any topic which interests you and then write a wellargued case in support of your view on that subject in no more than 1,000 words. You may use any of the passages in the Questions appendix as a starting point, or write on some other topic or choose an essay which you have to do in some other subject you are studying. The point is to use the language of reasoning and to ask yourself the right questions to produce as well-argued a case as you can.
