Unit 3 – p. 57 WRITING – OPINION PARAGRAPH

Unit 3 – p. 57 WRITING – OPINION PARAGRAPH

OPINION PARAGRAPH SAMPLE Working Together In my opinion, it is easier to work with others than to work on your own. First, you get more done if you work with others. For example, one of my brother’s chores is taking care of the yard. He finishes faster if we work as a team to mow, weed, trim, and rake. Second, if you work with others, they can give you advice on how to do something. Las week, the chain fell off my bicycle. I asked my friend Benny for help. He told me how to fix it and worked with me to get it done. Finally, working with others can be a lot of fun. I often help my dad clean out the garage and we make the work feel playful. In conclusion, go ahead and try working with others, and see how great it is!. OPINION PARAGRAPH SAMPLE
