Click the image above to go to a video clip to help you with your writing - don't just copy the example given, see if you can include your own personal writing voice and even more interesting details and examples for each statement. As well as this, include a conclusion as this is not given in the example shown. So, let's get started... First off, what kind of introduction will you begin with? (Imagine... A statistic...
