Exposition

INTRO- Should children receive $20.00 each week regardless of behavior and attitude????Well i disagree so now im going to give you some reasons why i disagree with children receiving $20.00 each week.

PARAGRAPH 1

If children receive $20.00 dollars they will get used to it and take their parents for granted.The money they receive will be wasted on anything they feel like.When they get used to it every week that is all they will use their parents for.But parents should used for alot more than just money!!!!

PARAGRAPH 2

Their is no use wasting $20.00 on children every week because it is wasting their famillies money for nothing.The $20.00 that is giving to the children will be spent on anything they want but not on what they need.Whereas their parents will spend it on what they need as well as what they want.

PARAGRAPH 3

If the children have been naughty at school and disrespectful at home, they shouldn't receive $ 20.00 because they do not deserve it because of their behavior.IF they do receive $20.00 they will continue their bad behavior because they know that they will receive $20.00 regardless of what they have done.

CONCLUSION-The reasons i have just shared is why i think children should not receive $20.00 regardless of behavior and attitude!!!!!!!

<span style="color: #00ffff; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 160%;">Dogs have heaps better ways in which they are better than cats. (Talk to me about this sentence - I think you can improve on it).Some people love cats and own cats but I personally think that dogs have better qualities than a cat does. So now I’m going to list some reasons why!!!!! ( You don't need to include this sentence for a written exposition)

Dog (S) are better than cats because dogs are an outside pet so that means they are able to let you know when there is an intruder or something is going on. They give a signal by barking constantly(.This barking can become annoying)And it gets annoying. ( Why is this a positive trait that dogs have)But cats couldn’t do that, all they do is sleep and eat all day long.

Dogs are able to be there for you when you need a friend or your just lonely. (Great introductory sentence) They can be like a real best friend that is human. But dogs may not like or feel like a real person but inside they do feel how a person would feel. Whereas cats are just their (there) to get the full attention and to get feed.(fed)

Cats leave fur everywhere. You find it in your food, clothes, furniture and bed Oh yeah and from my own experience on the top of the sauce bottle __LOL__. But dogs may lose a bit of fur but no way near as much as cats do.

As you can see dogs are way better than cats from the reasons I have just listed. I sure do hope I have convinced you that dogs are better than cats!!!!!!!
