Writing assignmentWrite a few paragraphs about your identity. (200-250

words in total)Count the words and write the total on your paper.

Tips:• Think about what you are going to write, do not just

start writing.• Use linking words.• Make sure you write down a clear introduction, core

and ending.• Check your spelling.• Do not simply answer the questions, but write an

interesting story about your identity.• Consider your audience.

Consider the following:• What is your full name?• Are you happy with your name?

Why (not)? Do you have a nickname? Would you change your name if you had the chance? What name would you choose?

• What are your ambitions? Did they change growing up or are they still the same?

• Why did you choose IEMES?• What are your values and beliefs

towards society?
