Structured Writing 2. Your task Write a short composition with a general statement and its corresponding supporting details. Topic: The Hazards of Movie-going Sample

Structured Writing Sample Although I love movies, I’ve found that there are drawbacks to movie-going. One problem is just the inconvenience of it all. It can take me long time to drive to the theater and find a parking spot. Another problem is my lack of self-control at the theater. I often stuff myself with unhealthy calorie-laden snacks for the limited choices. The worst problem is some of the other movie-goers. Kids run up and down the aisle. It’s noisy and messy in the theater. All in all, I would rather stay home and watch TV comfortably.
