Write a couple of paragraphs summarizing your thoughts about this topic after reading this article. Agree, disagree, good idea, bad idea, does it happen to you often, all the times, you know someone who does this, etc, etc, etc. There is a lot of interesting vocabulary in this article that you should note and bring up in our next session if you didn't understand the meaning. You can either send me your written assignment via email OR post it here as a comment to this post. Have a great weekend!
