Because of this, students will be careful of doing things. Students will feel proud when they walk streets with their uniforms because they are representing their school.

Uniforms are required because they give many advantages. It gives advantages for your own, for school, and also for outside of the school. You don’t need to struggle in the morning choosing what to wear or spending money on your clothes.

 * HW due to Wed, April 7th**

1. Write 3rd paragraph and edit your essay using word choice and sentence fluency rubric.

**3rd paragraph** Uniforms give convenience not only to students but to the teachers, too. In the beginning of the year, teachers have hard time memorizing their new students’ names. They sometimes call wrong names or they just forget. But if you have uniforms with name tags, this won’t happen. Also, when all the students wear the same uniform in school, it looks very neat. This can make students to have stronger spirit for the school because they will feel like they belong to the same community.

5-D** evidence- The use of creative and appropriate connectives between sentences and thoughts shows how each relates to, and builds upon, the one before it. example: In the beginning of the year, teachers have hard time memorizing their new students’ names. They sometimes call wrong names or they just forget.
 * Sentence Fluency

3-B** evidence- Familiar words and phrases communicate but rarely capture the reader's imagination. example: This takes a lot of time in the morning.

My favorite food is a Ramen.

To cook ramen, you need to boil the water first. Boiling water is piece of cake. You just need to put the pot on the fire. You put the noodles in when water starts to boil. After 1 minute, you put ramen soup in the pot. The ramen soup will be in the package. If there's no ramen soup, it is pie in the sky because every package has it. You have to wait for 2 more minutes.

3rd draft

Second Draft I bet you at least once desire to have a good body shape like famous models. But how do you do that? It is a really hard thing to make a good body shape. Exercising and eating healthy foods such as vegetable and proper meals might help you having a good body shape. Having a good body shape is one of the good things that happens to you when you eat healthy foods. What else could be? Living longer is one of that too. However, if you don’t eat healthy foods, disease might come to you. How could these work together to help you having a healthy body?

A healthy body also means the body is in a good shape. Having a good body shape is important because your appearance shows how much you care about eating things and how well you are balanced. It will be great if you can eat a lot of healthy foods but it’s a really hard thing to decrease amount of eating foods with a lot of fat. You really can loose lot of your weights by eating healthy foods more than an unhealthy foods. If you want to loose more weights, exercising will help you too. And I’m sure you will prefer slim body rather than fat.

People live longer with healthy body. And to be healthy, you should eat healthy foods.Here is the story about early 1700s that my dad told me when I didn’t eat brocolies. At early 1700s, the people in upper class and the people in lower class were divided clearly. But lower people lived longer than the higher people even though they worked more than the uppers. And there was this man who really thought about this carefully. With information that upper class only ate meats and lower class only ate healthy foods, the man finally found why could this happen. Lower people lived longer because of the healthy foods! Now, people noticed that healthy foods make us to live longer and from when the smart man discovered that, upper class started to eat healthy foods too.When I heard this story from my dad, I soon ate my brocolies and I also discovered that it didn’t really tasted bad!

Now we know what’s good about eating healthy foods. And, from now, what’s bad about eating unhealthy foods? There are tons of it. The basic one is that scary diseases might come to you. The diseases that can come to you when you eat unhealthy foods such as chicken and pizza are glucosuria and obesity. Glucosuria is the diseases that might come to you when you eat a lot of sweet things. If it comes to you and it’s really strong, you might have to check something by pinching your finger. Obesity is the diseases that you get when you eat too much and appears to have a lot of fat. So we should eat healthy foods not to get there scary diseases!

I wish you really get why we should eat healthy foods from reading my essay. We can have a good body shape and live longer by eating healthy foods. However, we know that when you only eat unhealthy foods, we might get a strange diseases. Eating healthy foods are really important and I hope that all the people in the world eat a lot of healthy foods!
