The optional essay this week is "X doesn't need Y -- X needs Z", based on the Guardian article above. On the exam, I will be assessing your syntax/grammar/sentence construction, so I encourage you to introduce elements that deviate from subject-verb-object structure, such as participle clauses, relative clauses, introductory clauses and transitions. Have a look at this list of transitions: http://www.smart-words.org/linking-words/transition-words.html
and do this transition exercise for practice: http://www.englishvocabularyexercises.com/eve-exercises/EngVocEx_transitions_1.htm

Answers:
D: be, should, had they not, had worked, have, be worrying, had he not, were we not, had gone, should, should you not, were
E: so, long, provided, unless, case, suppose, otherwise, condition
F: it, been, to, but, if, should, were, for, had, should/do
