Expository Writing

We are doing an expository writing lesson in english class. Me and Mike chose a topic that we both- and everyone should- believe: How falling can be harmful.

Here it is(Me and Mike’s versions might be a little different):

As you walk down the stairs, you suddenly slip on a banana peel, falling head first down the stairs and fracture your phalanges- Only one of the many scenarios of how falling can be harmful.

First of all, falling can always hurt yourself. For instance, falling from a tall building will hurt you pretty bad and haunt you for the rest of your life – if you were lucky enough to survive. Plus, If you fall on someone, it will hurt you and the others and probably will kill.

Furthermore, when you fall anywhere(like the stairs at your school), you will look like a fool. Adding to that, you will be embarrassed for life- assuming you lived after the fall. For example: you have the soccer ball, and it’s you and the goalie. You hear the roaring crowd and you know you will make this shot. You are 10 yards away, stepping back to kick…. But you slipped! Now, you lost the game  and become one of the most hated players on the team. Of course, this is only a fake scenario that emphasizes on how falling can harm you and will hurt you both physically and mentally.

Because of the dangers of falling, you should always take precaution. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Stairs, tall buildings, and even soccer balls-can make you fall- so take precautions against falling so you won’t be injured.
