QUESTION 005 - Technology (Grade 9)

There have been many advances in technology over the past few decades which have helped to improve the quality of human life. These include the internet, robots, computer programs and machines. All have been developed and used to assist in work, learning and other aspects of everyday life.

Choose a recently developed piece of technology. This piece of technology should be one that you believe has been most useful in the world.
Write to persuade the reader why your chosen piece of technology is the most beneficial to society.

Structure your piece by:

• Starting with an introduction. An introduction lets your reader know what you are going to write about.
• Put forward your opinion on the topic. Provide reasons for your opinion and most importantly, explain them.
• End with a conclusion. A conclusion sums up your reasons so that your reader is convinced of your opinion.

To gain the most points, you should:

• organise your ideas by planning.
• write using correct spelling and punctuation.
• write full sentences
• use paragraphs where needed.
• select words carefully.
• review your writing and make edits or corrections.
