Explanation: Transitional Vocabulary

Why is it important to make wise choices?

Do you use drugs? Do you know the effects it could cause? Drugs are a dangerous substance that are neither food, water or oxygen but can give serious damage to avid users mentally or physically. Drugs are a serious problem around the world and have had a massive effect globally.

As a result some people take them to feel good or to satisfy themselves. People are led into the darkness of drugs by growing up around them, or because of friends, therefore it is something they do to be cool or to be in with a group of friends. This is called “Peer Pressure”. Consequently they get addicted to these drugs, and crave more. These drugs affect us brutally, they affect our physical and mental health. For instance some people steal and on the other hand they work for people who will pay them money so they’re able to buy drugs. In spite of this, drugs are not all bad. In fact they help people relieve pain, help with medical problems. 

Furthermore, this is why it is important to stay away from drugs or to make wise choices. A silly choice you make could ruin your reputation or life, and you might end up without a job, end up in prison, or worse, death. Above all, people have to be informed to make wise choices, because these drugs not only affect you but the people around you. Your family could be saddened about your addiction, or they might end up joining you. Would you want that for the people you love?

Facts and studies show that a person in a family or group of friends that is addicted to drugs affects the group mentally but also distances them. Can you imagine that? Having your family and friends fall apart because of your addiction?

LI: to use transitional vocabulary

For Writing we were practicing using transitional vocabulary, by writing explanations. Transitional Vocabulary is like the cause and effect, but the effect part. Transitional Vocabulary are words like: therefore, because, as a result, and for instance. An explanation is a type of writing that is a formal writing that explains how or why something works. The structure of an explanation is TIIC, which stands for: Title, Introduction, Information, and Conclusion. Our topic for the explanation was "Why is it important to make wise choices?". We first planned our explanation, and then started writing.
