Abstract

An academic writing test was administered in which the participants were asked to write about one of the two academic writing topics provided to them: "In some countries, the average weight of people is increasing and their levels of health and fitness are decreasing. What do you think are the causes of these problems and what measures could be taken to solve them?" and "In many countries, the amount of crime is increasing. What do you think are the main causes of crime? How can we deal with those causes?"
