Cause and Effect Essays

The students in EAP Writing E6 wrote cause and effect essays on two topics:

1.  What are the effects of our increasing use of written communication, such as email, instant messaging, or phone text messages, on communication?

2. Review the three aspects of nonverbal communication that were discussed in Model Essay 1 in terms of your culture. Then give some personal examples of the effects of misunderstandings based on those aspects.

The students in the class discussed very interesting effects of the increase in written communication since the revolution of computer and telephone technology. I recommend you read them because they have insightful ideas! In addition, the other half of the class wrote about potential misunderstandings that can occur as a result of cultural differences in non-verbal communication. This YouTube video offers some examples of cultural differences and the student essays also offer insight into differences between the students' cultures and other cultures. Reading the essays will broaden your thinking and help you understand other cultures to avoid misunderstandings.
