Choose an issue of importance to you; Stray cats

The prompt is: Choose an issue of importance to you- the issue could be personal, school related, local, political, or international in scope- and write an essay in which you explain the significance of that issue to yourself, your family, your community, or your generation.

I want to write about the stray cats because in China there is only few animal shelters.

When I told my friends they thought my topic was narrow and regular.They said others always choose global warming or some big issues.

But I really like this topic and have confidence in it so I am comfused now.

I hope I can get some advice from you.

THANK YOU!!!!

hi yueshiqi,


Fine.... but make sure that;


Think about the significance of this issue to you personally or to your family, community or generation... If you have enough reasons to answer this part of the prompt, then you should go ahead and write without listening to the others. What is most important is that you have enough facts, that are strong facts as well, for addressing this prompt :)

Well I want to write about my experience of feeding stray cats .And this experience made me think about the responsibility people should have.

Is it appropriate or not?

However, you need to show its significance to you, family, community or generation in particualr... If it is an issue that has nothing much to do with any of the above and just a sentimental issue that strikes your attention, then leave it out... You need to have some substance to answer the prompt !

Oh,I got it.
Thanks so much for the help!
