RJA #14a: Application Project Progress Report

What it is about?
For the application project, I’m writing two or more personal letters to my friends and families. The topic is going to be on arranged marriage and love marriage, mostly favoring on arranged marriage. In the letters I want to find out more of why arranged marriage is better than love marriage and also give some of my ideas that I know or gained and write it to my friends who are mostly against arranged marriage.

What I have accomplished so far
.
I already wrote a letter asking an advice on arranged marriage to my mother, since she was married to my father in arranged marriage. In the letter that I wrote to her, I asked about why she chose arranged marriage and asked to give some experience knowledge she got in arranged marriage. I also asked her to tell me more about the cons of love marriage and arranged marriage too.

What I still need to do
I still need to write a personal letter to my friends who are mostly on love marriage. Asked them to tell me why they prefer love to arrange marriage. I might also add some good points about arranged marriage to let them know that it isn’t really that bad. My letters are still short and need to write more. Then still need to work on my three hundred words essay on how I used my source to write my personal letters.
