A Pool Is Important by Rycen D.
Joshua was working hard during his football game. He was so stressed because they had lost four years in a row. As he went home, he was acting all agitated because of the game. His mom told him that he could play games, but he told her that he didn't want to. All he wanted to do was relax. So, instead he went home and took a swim in the family pool. Suddenly his attitude started to get better. Many people don't know that it has been proven that a swimming pool helps you relieve stress, improves your health, and it can bring families together. It is important that families have swimming pools.
All families are stressed out when they come home from work or school. However, pools can help. In fact, research shows "Like any regular exercise, pool workouts are great stress relievers ("The Benefits of Water Aerobics"). Swimming can also help relieve your stressed muscles (Logan). This is a great opportunity for people of all ages to help relieve stress.
Some people are always trying to stay in shape, but they keep getting tired so they can't do it everyday. In fact research shows that "Having a backyard pool gives you access to numerous ways of keeping in shape" (Logan). It could help you burn numerous amounts of fat in just minutes. This is a great way to stay active and lose weight at the same time.
A pool can also be a great way for people to bond with each other("Top 10 Benefits of Swimming Pools". For example, families can use a pool to get fresh air together. Or, pools can also be a great place to have birthday parties. Parents can teach their kids to swim at a young age. Families might even discover hings that they didn't know about each other during their family time out in the pool together. In fact, studies show that it gets harder to teach kids how to swim when they're older.
Some people may say that it's too expensive and it costs too much. However, many of these same people have money to buy flat screen TVs, xbox ones, and even stuff they don't need. Just of March 08,2016 32 million TVs were sold and even more TVs are still getting bought. Not everyone should stop buying TVs, but they should just stop spending so much money on things that they don't need. Instead they should limit themselves to what they buy and be wise with their money. A pool is a wise investment because families will spend more time together and get exercise.
If people don't get a pool they will miss out on the opportunity to bond with each other and maybe learn things they never knew before. Also they will miss out on having better health.How long are you going to wait? So go to the stores and get a pool so you don't miss out on this opportunity.

Everyone Should Eat Ice-cream
One day a boy came back from a long day of school. Once he got home, he ate a bowl of ice cream and he was ready to do his homework. People should eat ice-cream because it provides a great source of calcium. Also there's even ice-cream for vegans, so if you know somebody that's a vegan tell him or her that there's ice-cream for vegans too. Ice-cream is cool and very refreshing so when it's a hot day you can just eat ice cream to keep you cool.
Everyone should eat ice cream because ice-cream can provide a person with a number of health benefits. First, ice-cream can provide a person with energy. Energy is good because if you don't have that much energy in your body, you won't be able to do many things. Ice- cream can provide you vitamins. The vitamins ice cream provides you are: vitamin A, B-6, B-12, C and D ("10 Reasons Why Ice-cream Is The Best Dessert Ever"). Ice cream is also a great source of calcium. Calcium is good because if you want muscles you need to have calcium in your body.
Everyone should eat ice cream because there are ice-cream options for all different people. For example, ice-cream can come in frozen yogurt, sorbets, gelatos and many more. There's even ice cream for vegans ("The 20 Reasons Why Ice-cream is Better Than Every Other Dessert in the World"). It's good to have ice- cream for vegans because if you have a family member or somebody you know that is a vegan you can tell them that there's ice cream for vegans so they don't have to miss out on eating ice cream. There's also ice cream that doesnʻt have sugar in it.
Everyone should eat ice cream because ice cream can make you cool. This is good because if it's a hot sunny day you can eat ice-cream and it will cool you down. Ice-cream can also prevent blood clotting. Ice cream can also help you with a sore throat (Hannah). This is helpful because if you have a sore throat you can just eat ice cream and if you don't have ice-cream you can just buy ice-cream from the store because ice-cream is cheap.
Some people might say that there's too much sugar in ice-cream. However, the key is moderation. For example, eating too much ice-cream in a single day can make you gain weight. But it doesnʻt mean people should stop eating ice-cream. Instead, it means that you should eat one serving a day. There's also ice-cream that doesn't have sugar in it. One brand that offers a no sugar alternative is "Breyers."
If people do not eat ice-cream, then they're missing out on all the good things about ice-cream. Additionally, people will have more energy to do extra stuff. Clearly people need to eat more ice- cream.

Let's Get a Pool by Dawson F.
Jesse just came home from work at 1:00pm in the afternoon. The sun is blazing and it is very hot and she has some spare time. No one was home and she had an idea. She ran outside and bushhh! A big splash! After a half an hour in the new pool, she became so relaxed that she almost forgot to pick up the kids. She was tired because in the pool you make your muscles leaner and stronger. Pools can be beneficial in a number of ways. Therfore, people should have pools.
How can families improve their bonding time? A well know writer once said, "Well if you get a pool then it is a fun and relaxing place to spend time"(Gibson). Have a pool in your own backyard gives you access to a fun time all the time. Swimming pools are great for both kids and adults.
Also, if you get a pool then you can build leaner muscles. Another thing is that you will keep your heart rate up when you swim. Also, swimming lets you work out your lung muscles. With a pool in your backyard, you will not only have fun, but you will be leaner and stronger (Kostich)!
If people don't get a pool then they will miss out on all the good memories that can be made with people. Additionally, if people get a pool they you will learn new things about people and make great memories. This means that everyone should get a pool.
Some argue that a pool is too expensive. If it is too expensive, then just install a smaller pool; everyone would still be happy. With a pook, the kids and parents will get out of the house more and have a place to party. Another thing is that a pool is a good looking addition to your house.
With all the stuff I told you about getting a pool, why shouldn't anyone get a pool? It will make you stronger and fitter. You will met new people and all that good stuff. Clearly you should get a pool and not think about the cost, instead, just have fun.

Technology Distracts by Napua H.
Kaiyana goes home after a long day at school. She doesn't have a lot of homework, so she goes on her phone. She doesn't realize how much time has passed. By the time she realizes that she needs to finish her homework, it's already 9:00 pm. So, she stays up finishing her homework., but If only she knew… technology is a distraction! In fact, children may experience a number of problems if they keep using technology because the brain is the last organ to fully mature.
Everyone knows that there are many ways to get distracted. One of them is technology. Technology distracts students and adults from doing the work they need to do. According to a survey done in 26 states of 675 students, students check their phones 11 times a day on average. These students don't just make a quick glance to see if anyone is trying to contact them, they spend 20% of their classroom time using technology that is unrelated to class (Reed). This means that students may not end up learning as much as they can.
In addition to technology being distracting, it can also cause problems. According to psychologist and author Daniel Goleman, children may have problems because the brain doesn't fully mature until the mid-20s. If students keep using technology at the rate that they are using it, they can end up with problems like not being able to control their emotions or not being able to be empathetic (Schwartz). One danger in this, is that people might start bullying more because they don't see the danger in it.
Not only does technology distract or cause problems, but it also wastes time. According to a non-profit group called the Information Overload Research Group Knowledge, workers in the U.S. waste 25% of their time dealing with their huge and growing data streams. People spend over five hours a day on the internet on average, and 64% worry when they don't have access (Rosen and Samuel). This means that instead of people focusing on what they need to get done, they might be worrying about other things.
Some may argue that technology is a tool that helps us in our everyday lives. They may also argue that technology helps to store information. However, they may overlook that technology is distracting. For example, when you read an article once you will still miss important facts. Until you read it multiple times you can fail to notice the most important facts. Thus, everything will be good until you look at it over and over again. Therefore, technology users must take a second look at their technology the same way a good reader would take a second look at what they're reading.
If people fail to realize that technology is a distraction, they could be in great danger. Every year, there are over 330,000 accidents caused by texting, these accidents caused severe injury. This means that 78% of all distracted drivers were distracted because of texting. This being said, are you sure your technology isn't distracting you?

Adolescents Should Have Less Chores by Tyana R.
After a long, tiring day of school and cheerleading, she comes home with stacks and stacks of homework, which is all due tomorrow! Adding to that, her Mom demands that she do her chores! She's unorganized! What she needs is to cut chores off her list. Chores get in a child's way, always making children feel rushed. In fact, people have much more time to do what they want to do without chores. And last, if everyone in the family does chores instead of just one person, then the work gets done faster! With these benefits, parents should let adolescents have less chores or no chores at all.
Everyone knows children hate chores but, they probably don't really know the reason why. Chores get in children's way! No one can do anything with chores always blocking their way from playing and doing things that they wanna do! Children always have the burden of either school, activities, or chores. In a recent article, it even states, "...many worry about adding housework to their childrenʻs burden, already so heavy with school, sports and other activities that many don't get enough sleep"(Arond).
Some children don't even have enough time to do their work because of chores occupying them. So, children end up rushing to finish their homework, which results in them getting everything wrong. This happens because they do not have the time to put in the effort needed. Children shouldn't have chores until they're mature enough to handle them. In fact a recent article says, "rushing through reading or math assignments can reduce comprehension and lead to errors, and an inability to sit still during class time can affect the students around them, too. Helping kids who seem only to operate in top gear learn to slow down and to tune into the moment can make them more thoughtful and adaptive. If it ever feels like your child is hurtling through life and needs some self-control" (Kulman).
Children will have more time on the weekends without chores! The weekend is all about having fun and relaxing. But, no one can relax and have fun with chores in the way. Children should have breaks and free time! There is a quote, "Children should have fun and shouldnʻt have parents bugging them about chores! Kids should have breaks and do what they want to do without school, parents, and other activities on the weekends" - Unknown.
If everyone in the entire family helped out around the house and did chores together, then chores would get done faster! This would mean that children wouldn't complain. If one child has to do chores, the whole family should help out and do them too! In fact a recent article states, " Children also benefit from positive role models: They see that men and women both are important to family life.Chores and housework are unavoidable, and there may not be an ideal division of labor. But when parents cooperate, communicate fairly, and work together, everybody comes out ahead."
Some parents and guardians might argue that giving chores to children is a lesson and makes them responsible, but chores are a burden to ALL children and teens! No one wants to do chores everyday and waste their free time doing work! Every child wants to enjoy choice and free time. Parents want to teach their children responsibility and respect, but they can learn that later in life, in young-adult years or when their living on their own!
If adolescents get chores theyʻll always be inside the house and doing chores instead of playing outside and doing interesting stuff like meeting new friends and using their imagination with toys and having fun! They'll always be rushing, chores will get in children's way with homework, activities and they wonʻt have more time doing what they are passionate about! So…less chores should come to adolescents!

Video Games by Kaelum L.
"Video Games have a surprising amount of reasons why they can be beneficial to your health." says Kara Loo. She studied Creative Writing and Film at Stanford University. She has been working on narrative mobile games since 2008 at Electronic Arts, where she was a game story writer and a studio manager working on "Surviving High School" and "Cause of Death." Video games can slow down aging, help people form teamwork skills, and relieve depression. In fact, everyone can benefit from video games.
First, video games can slow aging, this is beneficial to your health because you can live longer. "We've shown that 10 hours is enough to slow the decline by several years. We saw a range across all our tests from a minimum of a year-and-a-half all the way up to about six-and-a-half years of recovery or improvement. From just 10 to 14 hours of training, that's quite a lot of improvement"(@progamedesigns). This means when you play games for a certain amount of time you can slow down aging.
Video games can also be good for you because you use teamwork. For example, gaming can help people work together to solve problems. Working together can be accomplished while playing video games because, "In many of these games, players work together in teams to achieve goals, compete against other players or both. Their teamwork abilities are put to the test, and they must hone their communication and interpersonal skills in order to progress (Loo). This means gaming can help kids build teamwork skills that are necessary to solving problems.
Third, if you are depressed, then play video games! A study shows,"brain scans show the most active parts of the brain are the rewards pathway system, which is associated with motivation and goal orientation, and the hippocampus, which is associated with learning and memory. These are the two main parts of the brain that don't activate when people are suffering from depression" (time.com). Specifically, when people play video games the brain becomes more cheerful. The satisfaction of completing a game or level makes the person playing it feel rewarded, and thus relieves stress. You can also learn about things you may never experience in the real world as well as build creativity. Clearly, gaming can help people with everyday life problems, which all people have.
Some people might wonder, well since it rewards you so much, is it going to be more addicting? However, you have to monitor yourself while playing and not play for too long. This is because if you ban yourself from playing video games, then all the brain thinks about is when the next time will be that it's going to play its next game. Video games are like alcohol because if you drink too much you'll get addicted and if you completely just stop, then you experience withdraw. So, it's important to use it in moderation so that you don't get too addicted.
If you don't play video games you lose out on teamwork skills, and relieving stress in a fun way. If you don't play video games then you are going to miss out on all the fun and joy it gives to people. Video games should be apart of every one's life.
