Module 2 Writing Activity

In your journal, discuss any disadvantages to the place where you live and continue your sentence practice with noun and verb phrases. Write at least one of each of the noun phrases discussed in the unit (prepositional phrase, absolute phrase, and appositive phrase) and at least two of each of the verb phrases (infinitive phrase and participial phrase). You will, therefore, write at least seven sentences for this journal activity. As in the first assignment, underline the phrase in each sentence and consider its function in both as a modifier and an aspect of your writing style.

However, the city's changes, though impressive, bring the city heavy burden at the same time. When I was little, I lived in a very small community, where everybody knew each other and took good care of each other; whereas, communities getting bigger and bigger, I barely know any of my neighbourhood and, because of that, living in a community never feels as safe as it used to be. Of course the problems emerged from dense population and manufacturing development are more than that. Air pollution, traffic jam, crimes, ..., you name it. Problems escalating, it's time for citizens to make it right, armed with the awareness of the importance of sustainable development. Whatever, I love my city and I cannot be more sure that this city, my home town, will get better and better.
