English (Formal Persuasive Writing)
Is school the best place to make mistakes?
Without mistakes, you won’t succeed.
Mistakes help you get better at stuff, Mistakes won’t hurt as much as they hurt in real life, You can bounce back and learn from your mistakes, It is good to make mistakes, It is normal to make mistakes.
School is a time for teenagers to transition from childhood to adulthood, and mistakes will help them get there.
For instance, by making a mistake it is actually good in a way because it teaches you what not to do next time. It is not normal if you don’t make mistakes, Because everyone makes mistakes.
School needs to be a place that doesn't just teach the right answers; it should also be a place that teaches kids how to bounce back from failure. If they make mistakes, those mistakes won't hurt them as they would in real life. So If you make a mistake it is ok, because you can learn from it and mistakes help you succeed.
Not only do mistakes help you learn, but they will also prepare you for your adulthood. By making mistakes you will know what is right and wrong, and you will make sure you won’t make that mistake again.
This shows that mistakes are just part of life and that everyone makes mistakes in life whether it be a small or big mistake.
But making too many mistakes at school can be bad because you could fail.
By making too many mistakes at school or anywhere can lead to you failing or even worse like getting injured or even killed. For example, if you work at a construction site you could make a mistake and get injured.
If you are struggling with something and you make a mistake you might not learn from these mistakes and fail.

Team sports are better than individual sports
It is easier working together.

you get to learn how to work as a team.
teammates give you motivation to try your best.
Individual sports:
It can be hard because you don't have support from teammates.
in individual sports you don't learn to work as a team.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Team sports are better than individual sports
Are team sports better than individual sports? I think team sports are better because you have to work together as a team to win and you have to use strategies as a team to beat the opposition. I also think that team sports are a lot easier because you have teammates to help you and in individual sports you don't have any teammates to help you, you have to do everything yourself.
There are a lot more team sports than individual sports like basketball, rugby, football, cricket, volleyball and lot more but individual sports are only like tennis, golf and boxing
It depends on what the person likes, if they like playing sports by themselves than they will like individual sports. But if they like working together in a team than they will like team sports a lot more. Individual and team sports are both great but i prefer team sports.

Natural Environment (Plants & Animals)
Points for:
The animals will be in their own habitat and they can be free.
They wont have to be trapped in one place for the rest of their life.
Points against:
It will be dangerous for them to live out in the wild.
They will have to hunt to get food.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Should all zoos be shut down to release all animals to their natural habitat
I think that Zoos should release all animals so that they can go back to their natural habitats so they can live by themselves and be free without being trapped inside a cage so that people can look at them all day. I think it will be better for the animals because they can experience what it is like to live in the wild and they can learn how to survive.
But there are some bad things about releasing all animals from zoos. If they release all the animals the population will go down because of all the animals that lived in the zoo wont know how to live in the wild

There could be a flood.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is living on the coast better than living in the mountains
Both places to live are great but if i was to choose i would live on the coast because you are closer to the beach and It also will be a lot easier to drive home because there are no mountains to drive over. And in the summer when it is really hot you can just step out of your house and go for a swim. There are a lot of good things about living on the coast like swimming, going for walks, and hanging with friends. And if you have pets you can just go for a walk down the beach. But if you live in the mountains and you have pets there won't be many places to take them for walks because of all the uphill and downhills on the mountains.
