Read the example letter below, and answer the question that follows. June 14, 2015 1234 Maplewood Lane Sunnydale, MN 55003 Dear Courtney, I hope you are doing well, and that your recent move to Sunnydale went smoothly. We all miss you greatly, but are excited for you to begin your new career in wildlife photography. I am writing to ask if you would consider writing a letter of reference for my application to the summer photography program at the local community college. When applying to the program, I immediately thought of you as a potential reference. As my former supervisor, you have directly observed my passion for photography, and my willingness to learn more about the field. I believe that my time working with you at the photography studio was an excellent first step towards my future career in the field. The letter of reference will enable me to continue my growth and experience in photography. I hope that you will consider writing the letter of reference, and I truly appreciate your consideration. Regards, Samantha Carlotta

Read the sample student paragraph that addresses a counterclaim. some claim that the internet both invades and compromises one’s right to privacy. however, this is ridiculous. the internet is only as invasive as one allows it to be, particularly since there are laws to protect people’s privacy. exercising caution when supplying personal information online is the most vital step in protecting one’s privacy. any information you do not feel comfortable sharing online should not be shared, and sensitive information should only be provided to trusted organizations. additionally, some states have already enacted privacy laws that model the federal privacy act of 1974, ensuring that information collected for one purpose may not be used—or sold—for other purposes without first notifying the individual to whom the data belongs. the first and most important protector of an individual’s information is that individual. people whose personal information is not properly protected only have themselves to blame. what evidence weakens the counterclaim in this paragraph? the internet is only as invasive as one allows it to be. exercising caution is the best way to protect one’s privacy online. some states have already enacted online privacy laws. it is the individual’s fault when personal information is unprotected.
