Improving a Paragraph

Rewrite the paragraph below making changes as necessary to improve the wording and/or flow.

Day 3

- Would you rather live 30 years in the past or 30 years in the future?

While it’s kind of a hard choice, I think I’d rather live in the past. I mean it’s hard to imagine a world without

internet or cell phones so it’d be neat to see the world before those inventions. Plus I could go back and talk

to my parents as kids! I wonder how they acted? I wonder if we’d be friends?

Suggestions: Reiterate, adding detail, adding examples

Day 4 -

What would you do if you won a million dollars?

The first thing I’d do is go to the toy store and buy anything I wanted. Then I’d buy a brand new gigantic

house to put all my new toys in! Then after I’d done all my shopping I’d hire a cook to make me pizza or

hamburgers whenever I wanted. Of course I’d give my parents some money, but not my brother, Todd.

Suggestions: Reiterate, tying thoughts together, adding examples
