Topic 1:
Do you mostly with members of your own ethnic, racial, or gender group? Why? Write an essay that explores, in detail, the advantages of a more diverse social life and the ways that one could go about making this change happen. Begin by writing a clear thesis statement and making a plan for a well-organized essay.
Topic 2:
What are the most important qualities of a committed relationship? What factors keep such a relationship positive and alive?

Then write an essay that explains three key qualities of committed partnership. Support your points with details and examples.
