Minor Essay Bloopers

• Forgot a title

MAJOR ESSAY BLOOPERS

• No inclusion of your own idea


• Forgot to sum up ideas in the conclusion
• Using Because/And/But to start a sentence. 
• Use of informal language such as - *Kids / way better/ etc
•  The environment - this didn't mean the place/ or poor places! It meant the natural world,  as affected by human activity. "the impact of pesticides on the environment"

first body paragraph: Technology 

Firstly, teenagers today have grown up in a world of technology using smartphones, computers, and the internet and  because of this, they often understand modern technology better than adults. For example, many teenagers can quickly learn how to use new apps or programs and even help others who are struggling. 

second paragraph: The environment

Secondly, teenagers can also play an important role in teaching others about the environment. Many young people today are very aware of climate change, pollution, and how to protect the planet. They can teach their families and friends how to recycle, reduce waste, or save energy. Their passion and fresh ideas can inspire others to make positive changes.

Third paragraph: Own idea

Finally, teenagers can still be great teachers in the right situations. Besides technology, they can support younger students with homework, sports, or creative hobbies. Teaching others also helps teenagers grow in confidence and responsibility, which are useful skills for their future.

the conclusion

In conclusion, while teenagers may not be ready to teach everything, they are not too young to teach at all. In fact, when it comes to technology, the environment, and other modern issues, they often make excellent teachers.
