Question Posted Tuesday September 25 2007, 10:15 am
My english teacher gave us the most impossible assignment on the planet - we have to write 10 pages (no more, no less) on what the ministry of tourism would say if a island started exporting their "newly found" oil.. and the only info she's given us is that the main source of income for the country comes from the tourism and fishing scene. SO that gives me like a good 5 sentences where I write about how the oil pumps and such will lead to a decrease in tourism.. but how the heck do i fill 10 pages? Everyone in my class agrees that its stupid, we've talked to her and other teahcers about it but they say we HAVE TO do it. So should I just not do it? Or should I just fill out 10 pages by rambling about how ugly the island will look (cause i really cant think of anything else the ministry of tourism would say - like how else would eploiting the oil effect the tourism of a country?!?) Its so stupid! I hate her! :(
Your teacher has asked for a few basic facts and thoughts about tourism and a whole bunch of bullshit. Give her the best bullshit you can think of, hand it in, and then forget about it. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]

You could also say that the money made from exporting oil could cause expansion and improvement of cities or town on the island, which might cause a population boom.
That's all I've got..yeah that is a really hard assignment but just ramble and stress every single point you make.
