Default I am making a formal direction....

I am making a formal direction for a writing assignment.

What do you think of the following direction? I would like to make it formal.

I am wondering if all directional expressions , especially the highlighted expression, should be OK.

Directions:

1.Write an English essay on the following topic, or you can choose
one at your will.

2. For your writing, you may refer to the Brainstorming booklet.
3. Your essay should be about 300-words.
4. Use examples for each body paragraph.
5. Email your essay to <EMAIL REMOVED - Send PM to This User Instead> with it attached.


A/D #120 Decisions can be made quickly, or they can be made after careful thought. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? The decisions that people make quickly are always wrong. Use reasons and specific examples to support your opinion.

I would use 'or choose one of your own' to match the imperative in the first part.
