A. Comparison – Contrast
What are the different ways in which intellectual intelligence and emotional intelligence contribute to the development of an undergraduate?
Intellectual intelligence is an ability of one who tries to use his/her intellect to work, study, speculate on or ask and answer questions with regard to a variety of different ideas. And Emotional intelligence is an ability, capability, or skill to perceive, assess, and manage the emotions of one’s self, of others, of groups. People are born with Intellectual Intelligence (IQ) and cultivated with Emotional Intelligence (EQ). As undergraduates, Intellectual intelligence and emotional intelligence actually contribute us through different ways.
Firstly, IQ helps the undergraduate to think and solve the problems while EQ provides an appropriate emotional stability to deal with the problems. For example, when we are at the university level, we need to be independent in learning since university is a place that requires a lot of self-study. In this case, we need to solve the challenging academic problems with our IQ rather than easily getting solutions from professors. Actually, they may realize how intelligent they are after solving those challenge academic problems. On the other hand, in order to deal with the daily stresses which an undergraduate may be faced, it is important for him/her to have a high EQ to keep calm and alert. Otherwise, his/her emotion will be out of control easily and results in negative effects.
Secondly, IQ enriches an undergraduate’s life while EQ makes him/her more sociable. It is undeniable that one of the best ways to enrich oneself is through reading. IQ ensures the undergraduate understand the ideas of the author and make use of them. However, there is a lot of knowledge to be learnt and experiences by an undergraduate, which he/she cannot find inside the books. Therefore, it is very helpful for him/her to have a high EQ when communicating with others. In fact, most of the people are willing to be friends with someone who can control his/her emotions well, as they may feel relaxed and being respected.
All in all, I should say that making good use of both intellectual intelligence and emotional intelligence will contribute to the development of an undergraduate significantly throughout the years.

B. Cause – Effect
Motivation, resilience, optimism, self-control, flexibility, etc. are attributes often associated with emotional intelligence. Choose one of these and discuss why it is an important trait for a fulfilling life.
There are a lot of attributes associated with emotional intelligence; one of them is self-control, which is an important trait for a fulfilling life. Self-control, just as its name implies, refers to restraint exercised over one's self or control of one's emotions, desires, or actions by one's own will.
An emotional intelligent person is able to control his/her emotions by his/her own will in order to have his/her head screwed on the right way. A fulfilling life in a sense means someone is able to adapt to the unpredictable society through accepting the differences and understanding the reality. Life does not go as what we expected. In fact, there are numerous unexpected encounters that make us down and up. Hence we need to be self—controlled in terms of keeping calm and confident to deal with those encounters and fulfill our life. Frankly, many people actually benefit from being self-controlled in the situations that are against their wishes.
In addition, self-control associated with emotional intelligence in terms of self discipline. Self discipline is the ability of the individual to stick to actions, thoughts, and behavior, which lead to improvement and success. Success makes our life fulfilling. However, a fulfilling life could be destroyed by lack of self-control. People are weak in saying “No’ to attractions like money. Even, there are people dare to do contraband for money though they know the serious consequences. For example, in some countries, the bribe activities are very common. The bribers make full use of their power to gain money without any self-discipline. As a result, most of them who used to be considered as successful in their career are ended in prisons. In this sense, a fulfilling life with success could be destroyed by lack of self-control.
Hence, I should conclude that being self-controlled is very important in leading a fulfilling life.

Hi, Mingchi here. I am satisfied with both paragraphs, and i post them together. Friends and classmates Please feel free to leave your commends here. Thanks so much!
For the moment, Ming, allow me just to cmment on the comparison-contrast paragraph (or mini-essay). I really like the way you start this. Your definitions seem well formulated. (I trust they are originals.) I also can appreciate your topic sentence (thesis):
"As undergraduates, (I)ntellectual intelligence and emotional intelligence actually contribute us through different ways."
But there is a problem in the use of the verb "contribute." Do you know what that problem is?
There's also a problem with the verbs in this sentence: "Otherwise, his/her emotion will be out of control easily and results in negative effects." Do you know why?
When I just look at the content here, I am impressed by your insights. If I think about organization, I sense that you've got more than one paragraph, which goes beyond the limits of the assignment, technically. But I see good internal development and cohesion of ideas. That is what writing is all about. Thank you!
Hi ming, these are some of my comments:
"undergraduate may "be" faced"
"his/her emotion will be out of control easily and results in negative effects." Readers may not know what are the negative effects.
"However, there is a lot of knowledge to be learnt and experiences by an undergraduate."
Will it be better to write in this way "...knowledge and experiences to be learnt...".
since everyone do the first one, I guess i will do the second essay.
You have good background information. Your vocabulary in this essay is good.
However, I think your structure needs to improve. For example you have mixed some of the background information with the first supporting point in the second paragraph. I suggested that they may be separated, put the background information back into the first paragraph and draw clear the structure boundary to enable reader to understand more easily.
The third paragraph is good, flow is quite smooth.
For the conclusion, I think perhaps you may want to conclude your essay instead of just restate of your topic sentence.
I am done here, look forward for your comment on mine.
