Assume that you are working for a homes/gardens/lifestyle magazine that is producing a special edition on houses. You have been assigned the task of writing a short section on rammed earth and mud brick houses. Your piece must explain the differences in the two types of construction, (both the actual construction and the appearance), the advantages and disadvantages, and anything you discover in relation to special concerns about building maintenance.
Remember you are not writing for builders so check magazine styles eg. Better Homes & Gardens, Home Beautiful, Belle, Homes & Living etc.
Approx. 350 – 500 words (maximum).
Enjoy!
anyone can do it
