Liz wrote an
essay about school lunches. |
I believe the school cafeteria
should serve pizza every day
for lunch.
All kids like pizza and more kids
would buy the school lunch.
Kids would enjoy lunch more if they were eating something they really
enjoyed. Also, eating pizza would make everyone happy. When
everyone is happy, the behavior in the cafeteria would be improved.
A study by the school's food
service shows that when pizza is
offered as a selection at lunch, 70% of students order the school
lunch.
For this reason, I believe the school
cafeteria should serve pizza
every day.

Abby wrote an
essay on recycling. |
Everyone should recycle to save natural resources.
Recycling take take place both at
school and at home. At school,
used paper can be recycled. Since so much paper is used each day at
school, recycling will help to save resources.
At home, plastic and glass containers
can also be recycled in
addition to paper. This recycling will also save resources, since
recycling will reduce the amount of plastic manufactured.
A study conducted by the EPA
found that manufacturing
recycled paper used 15% less
energy than manufacturing new paper.
This reduced the resources consumed by new paper manufacturing.
This is why everyone should recycle
to save resources.
