Dear Ella (younger sister),

I have to choose a topic to write about for a research paper and I am not sure what to pick. You will definitely have to write one of these at some time in your academic life. It is paper about a certain topic that you have to take a side on. The topic has to be exigent which means that the topic is very urgent or pressing. I want to choose a topic that I am interested in because I think that will help me write better. My main interests are science and music so perhaps I will choose a topic based on one of those. Also, I think both of those topics can be interesting to a lot of other people too. I do not have to choose the topic right now, but it is very important that I start thinking about it now so I can be ready to begin the first step in the writing process. Let me know if you have any ideas of what a good topic would be for me.

Sincerely,

Austin
