WE 1: Overarching topic/theme:

This task requires you to produce roughly 300 – 400 words to write about the overarching topic/theme on which you can do your projects. Your writings should explore the reasons behind your choice, give evidence of your interest, and tell what areas of that topic theme you want to explore. Also, pay attention to grammar, spelling and punctuation.

Note that, this is not a final choice and you can change your topic anytime. So do not sweat about it much. Just think about topics/themes that you want to know more about at this moment.
