　　Prompt 1

　　Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below.

　　Reality television programs, which feature real people engaged in real activities rather than professional actors performing scripted scenes, are increasingly popular.

Most people believe that the reality these shows portray is authentic, but they are being misled.

　　Assignment: Do people benefit from forms of entertainment that show so-called reality, or are such forms of entertainment harmful? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.
