Advanced Certificate in General English In-class Writing Assignment 3
This sheet should be given to students two weeks in advance of the writing assignment.
Task 1:	Individual Student Preparation (homework)
Students are encouraged to find out more information about the chosen topic so they can
have a more meaningful discussion with their group members for Task 2.
Instructions:
Imagine that you have just joined a charitable organisation, which can either be a real or
imaginary organisation, and play an active role in it. Think about the following:
•	Your role in the organisation, i.e. the work you do for it.
•	The ways in which the organisation benefits Hong Kong.
•	Any special projects the organisation is currently involved in.
Task 2:	Pre-writing Group Discussion (15 - 20 minutes)
This discussion takes place on the same day of the -writing assignment (Task 3).
Instructions:
Work in groups of 4 or 5. Be prepared to discuss with other members of your group what you
have learned of this topic. Listen to what they have to say and be prepared to ask and answer
questions.
 After this discussion, you should have a clearer picture of what ideas you could include for  the writing task.
