Rivers are better than beaches

I strongly believe that rivers are better than beaches . Here are three main reasons to support my argument…

One reason is, are that beaches are way more dangerous than rivers. Because there are rips and huge waves but in the river they don’t have them so that makes them more safe to swim in .

Another reason is, there are sea creatures that can hurt you like stingrays, jellyfish and sea urchins which makes it not safe to swim in the sea. plus there have been several reports of people swimming in the ocean and being eaten by sharks, and that's another reason that rivers are safer to swim in.

Finally, if swimming at the beach and suddenly the sand breaks beneath your feat and you could fall into a deep hole and drown, there might be an undertow and it will suck you into the water and out to sea but not when you are in the river.

 yes                                         no      

Beaches are dangerous.



Therefore I believe that rivers are better than beaches.

Country life is better than City life

I strongly believe that country life is better than city life

If you live in the country you get more fresh air because there are no cars to pollute the air.There are no factories to make our plants and vegetables go rotten because the gas that is made by factories is toxic to the air and our plants need air, so factories are actually killing our plants.

You get more fitness when you live in the country because  you have to walk everywhere you go. Most people that live in the country don’t have cars but if they do have cars they often don’t work so they have to walk everywhere.

Another reason is that you get to explore the hills and forests and you can look for wildlife like rabbits and deer.  If you have a river near your house you can go swimming in summer instead of paying money to go to swimming centres.

Therefore I believe that country life is better than city life.
