Being Bilingual

I am sure you have heard the saying "The pen is mightier than the sword". I believe that being articulate and the ability to write with eloquence go hand in hand.
Your blog assignment for this week is to read the article from the BBC about bilingualism, Then write your views on bilingualism.

I do NOT want:

1. Overly simplistic vocabulary (good, bad, all that stuff, things, big, small).
2. Extremely obvious and effortless opinions.
   
3. Rigid opinions that sound like you are saying what your parents want you to say. I'm not your dad.
4. Mechanical uncreative writing.
5. Texts written in Spanish and processed by a translator, or you.
   
6. Copied and pasted material.
7. Uninspired or boring writings.
8. Spelling mistakes.
9. Verbs written in past when they should be in simple form or vice versa. Your grammar will be graded
10. LESS than 500 words. That means that you have to write at least 501.

Do an outline. Think carefully. Post by Wednesday night at the latest. That is June 2nd
