ESSAY 1 draft

Introduction

“Youths in Singapore are spending more time online now than ever.” (Yahoo news 2013) This suggest that youth are spending less time in face to face social interaction which will lead to a widening of the generation gap and there is a risk that tomorrow’s youth will not know how to interact with senior citizen.’(The Straits Times, 2002) Because Singapore’s youth are spending too much time on the internet which may result in widening the generation gap, a movement should be created to bridge the gap. This essay will talk about how digital divide between grandparents and grandchildren in a family leads to a generation gap. This essay will also evaluate the solution taken by Singapore to tackle the problem of generation gap.

  1. - In text citation format should be (Yahoo News, 2013) and full stop should be after the citation bracket.
    e.g. “Youths in Singapore are spending more time online now than ever” (Yahoo News, 2013). The same goes for The Straits Times. There is an extra apostrophe after 'citizen'.

    - Did not specify target group (youth, grandparents, etc) and 'generation gap' is not explained clearly.

    - Thesis statement should be more specific eg. Which specific group of youths? What movement specifically?

    - Grammatical errors
