 DEFENITION PARAGRAPH

Love is can be defined in a lot of ways. There is a lot of type to where we can express love. First
is the love for your family. Our family is always with us. They are the very first person whom we
love. Because they are the person who stay with us for a long time and will stay for the rest of our
life. Second is the love for our friends. Our friends are like our real brother/sisters. They are like
our second home. They also give us joy that is why we feel grateful and loved. Third is
everything that surrounds us. For me I feel thankful and bless because I’m still alive and I can do
everything and whatever I want. Everything is so precious and bright. Love is something money
can never buy. Love is something unexplainable. Because it is hard to find a word that best
describe love. So better express it by action and not just by words.
 NARRATIVE AND DESCRIPTIVE PARAGRAPH

If I could change something in the past I would definitely do good things. In the past I always do
crazy things, until now. But before was extremely different. For example, before when I see my
brothers playing, I always mess with my brother’s toys. But every time I do those things I always
receive a “homily” from my mom. She always tells me that as an older sister I should not annoy
them. Before when she asks me to do something I always pretend that I did not hear her. I was too
lazy to do what she wants. Sometimes I give her reasons that I am busy on doing other things, or
later, wait, just a second. But when she is really angry, I follow her and run from her because she
will hit me. Mom always tell me that I should obey them because it is our responsibility and for
our own sake. I know I should so that in the future I already know how to do things on my own.
But sometimes it seems that obeying them is really hard, especially when they do not allow me to
do a thing that makes you happy. Right now I regret not obeying her, because I really missed her
voice when she is mad or shouting. I do love to hear her calling my name. I wish I can go back to
her and hug her tight and be home soon.

 CAUSE AND EFFECT PARAGRAP

Climate change is a serious problem because it affects almost all of us. But first let us talk about
how it happens, or what are the causes. The first cause is because of the human activities. People
nowadays seem so careless about our environment. They throw their waste everywhere; actually
that is the biggest problem here in our country, the improper waste disposal. Second is the
greenhouse effect. And because of some human activities we are making it worst. Another is the
deforestation. Because of human cutting trees the air is becoming polluted. This climate change
has a great effect in our environment. First is it affects the animals. The animals that are not very
exposing in very hot or cold places are dying because they are unfamiliar with the climate
change. Next are the people living inside the earth. We are very much affected because we can
die because of extreme heat. And last is the environment, the ice are melting, the forest are
burning is because of climate change. And it is because of the extreme heat. So we should take
actions and promote good health for the environment.
