IV. Short Essay Writing
Directions: Read carefully the below passage about a controversial issue--the legalization of same-sex marriage in Taiwan. Then write a well-organized short essay of approximately 300 words in English as your response to this passage. (Writing competency 40%, argumentation 30%, organization 30%)

In May 2019 Lawmakers in Taiwan had approved a bill legalizing same-sex marriage, a landmark decision that makes the self-ruled island the first place in Asia to pass gay marriage legislation.

The vote came almost two years after the island's Constitutional Court ruled that the existing law-which said marriage was between a man and a woman - was unconstitutional. The panel of judges gave the island's parliament two years to amend or enact new laws.

Then, only a week off the two-year deadline -- lawmakers in Taiwan's Legislative Yuan passed a bill making same-sex marriage a reality--"It will go into effect on May 24, 2019."
