Persuasive essays.

They are terrible. And i suck at writing. Can someone please review my essay, and then tell me what you think. or what i should fix. If you see any erros , that too. By the way. I just chose the easier side of the argument aha

Education is being impacted by the internet. The internet is very dstracting. Using the internet is the lazy way to do work, and website information is not aways correct. The internet has been ruining education since it has been created.

To begin with, the internet is distracting. Students that try to do their work on the internet can get easily side-tracked by games. The internet has thousands of games to play. They are all distracting and prevent people from doing their work. Everything on the computer screen is lit up. On web pages there are lots of bright colors and flashing lights. Brighter colors and objects that blink snap people’s attention. Ads on sites keep people from being on task. People see ads and they will want to click on them and check out what’s there. It is hard to focus on studying because the internet keeps students occupied.

Also, the internet is the lazy way to do work. The internet is huge; there is so much to information on it. Anyone can simply copy and paste data. Plagarism is a big issue in the internet. People can easily post or search up answers for hoemwork. When homework answers are posted, students dont have to do any type of work. It is already done for them. Written work is also falling away. Instead of using actual books, they now have virtual books. Books are going to disapear if the internet keeps growing.

Furthermore, everything you see on the internet isn’t always correct. There are many errors online. WEbsites can be edited by anyone. People could go in and type all the wrong answers. There may also be multiple answers written by different people. If there are so many answers, how do you know which is right or wrong? There is the possiblity that website are outdated. Information of the internet is not reliable.

As you can see. the internet has been creating problems since the beginning. The internet keep people from their work, makes them inactive, and gives out wrong information. We neet to get the internet undercontrol before education is ruined.

suck at writing. Can someone please review my essay, and then tell me what you think. or what i should fix. If you see any erros , that too.

Today’s education isn’t your grandparents education. Now days we have the internet, which opens up a whole new box of things when it comes to learning. Some people may think that the internet is helpful, but I find it to be ruining education. The internet will distract you with it’s seducing adds, sometimes false information, and makes you lazy.

Well. I just thought i’d show you what my first paragraph would be if i was writing with the same argument. maybe it’d be helpful.

not to be mean but your writing is a little boring, which is okay. Some people just aren’t great at it. I’m not good at math. lol same difference. Other than that it’s good.

meh it’s not big deal really, as long as you can get the basic structure down…which you did pretty good on. My essays sounded like yours when i was younger…then in 11th grade i had a teacher who really pulled my creative side out.

hang on, ive got a lot to say:

First thoughts: your sentence structure is deplorable. use more commas, fewer periods. I like that you didnt just take the usual “internet makes work easy” side, even though you think this is the easier side, it isnt. On the flip side of that though, you cant just make the argument “the internet is bad because it ruins education, has shiny colors, and people are easily distracted.” Thats less of an argument than it is an insult.

I have more, take note that this isnt being mean, i just write a lot. i hope youll be able to take these suggestions and the ones im writing and improve your essay.

If its allowed maybe you should try taking the other view on the internet, saying it’s good instead of bad. It might come easier. Also the key thing to making a persuasive essay, is to write it as if you’re writing to an idiot lol. Hold their hand through explanations and have working examples to back them up. So for the distraction one, you could talk about ads being everywhere and such. Also its handy to break every point or two down into a paragraph, so your mind can decisively talk about one thing at a time. The introduction should be an overview of the essay, so a little introduction to the subject you’re talking about and then a brief overview of what your planning to talk about. Conclusion should be a brief review of what you’ve talked about in relation of the point you’re trying to make about the subject. So it would like “As you can see through these explanations and points, such as blah blah blah blah blah, it is difficult to focus while working on the internet.”

Hope this helps.
