Your final exam score is calculated by averaging the two scores together.

20. ESSAY ComponentWeak or Strong Why? How could they improve it? Claim Support Counterclaim Conclusion Point of View I think that kids should have cell phones. Kids even as young as age 8 should have them. Parents, don’t you want your kids to be safe? Isn’t it your job to protect us? Then you should give your kids cell phones. I mean, what if the kid gets lost on his way home from school? If they have a cell phone, then they could call and tell you they were lost. You could also use the “find my phone” app to find your kid, right? Your kid would feel safe and you would feel safe. Kids also could use the phone to help them with home work. Sure, they might play games like flappy birds, but phones are also good for research or calling a friend to help you in need. Parents you are on your phone all the time and most of us don’t have home phones anymore so it makes it hard for us kids to find a phone to use in the house. We need to have our own phones. That’s why kids should have their own phones. Phones keep kids safe and help with homework.
