2 BEFORE YOU WRITE.

Choose a city project, for example, a park, a bridge, a plaza, or a building. What are the
positive and negative aspects about it? In your notebook, make a chart like the one in
exercise 1C. Complete the chart with your ideas.

3 WRITE about the city project you chose. Write three or four paragraphs. Do you think it has
improved the city? Explain why or why not. Use your chart from exercise 2 and the text in
exercise 1A to help you.

WRITING FOCUS Using Like to Make a Comparison
Use like + a noun phrase to tell your reader that the subject in the main clause and the noun
after like are similar. Remember to put a comma after the phrase with fike.
Like any city, Seoul can be a stressful place fo live.

your work.
