Does this sound like a good intro paragraph for my essay?(i’m only in the 7th grade)?

The question was in what ways can we help the world:

The world as we know it is not the best place to be, but if we all help, we can make it much better. We have all experienced hunger in some point of our lives, weather it’s at school, at home, or in the office. Many people all over the world, who live in poor countries, can not afford food, and may go days with out eating a thing. If we can get together and sponsor families, they can eat, and live a better life. Another issue in the world is global warming. Global warming is something we created, and if we try hard enough, we can get rid of it. Every year, we loose thousands of trees in the production of common house hold objects. We can help reduce the amount of trees cut, by recycling. Doing little things will help the world in big ways.

It sounds good – change loose to lose and weather to whether, and delete the commas after world, countries, and eat. Household is one word. But it’s a nicely thought out paragraph.

There were some minor problems with the grammer and verb usage but other then that it was pretty good. You should consider removing the last sentence as it suggests a conclusion. Next time when you start a new thought seperate them into paragraphs to indicate you are going to a different idea. Also expand a little more on recycling on global warming.

You have a good start! Many of the suggestions given ahead are very constructive. I would change can not to can’t.

You may want to expand additional ways to help, many countrys do send food to help the starving, many of these countries have a civil war, and one faction blocks civilians behind the enemy lines from getting food, afraid it would feed soldiers. Maybe other governments should stepup the pressure on both sides to resolve their problems. Many will go on of course,and they will starve their own people.

In our civil war the North used this weapon, they burned crops in the South if they weren’t going use them. The South starved, and land was destroyed. It broke the will of the South. Some Rebels brokedown and ate leather they wore.

The idea of sponsorship, is a good idea. Maybe suggest that people check the charities spending record, what percentage of the money received goes to expenses like ads, and administration. The charities that put the highest percentages into the field should get strongest consideration.

Trees as you say are big part of the environment. Recycling paper is something I’ve done for many years. In the U.S. the lumber companies have to plant something like three or four trees for every one they cut. Maybe promote and help developing countries start these programs. Maybe challege the class to see how many ways they can save paper, including filing homework online. Trees help with oxygen.

Enviromentists believe hydrocarbons are responsible for global warming. Keep in mind that many fine scientists disagree. Assuming they are right, the biggest way to help is to walk when you can to nearby places. If you use the car, make a list of the stops that need be done and do them all in one trip. This will also save the folks money on the gas saved.

Another way to save money is to restrict big companies to one corporate jet and make celebrities and politicians use commerial airlines. Many of these folks are the ones that cry the most, while producing more pollution than most families will in years.

Use what you will, hope I’ve been some help.

Are you sure this is only the beginning of an essay? You covered a lot in the first paragraph. I would break it up—the global warming can be another pragraph and you can write more and elaborate on it. “Weather” should be “whether”. Are you sure we can “fix” global warming? How did we create it? I would expand on how we can reduce the cutting of trees. For instance, rainforests are being cut down in South America. You could write something about that.

“Can not” should be “cannot”. “Loose” should be “lose”.

I don’t know what the rest of your essay is like; hopefully, this helped. You have a good beginning and this is a good essay.

One more thing: “we have all experienced hunger in some point of our lives” should be “AT some point in our lives.”

the idea’s good but there are some grammatical mistakes. Just to point out a few: “The world as we know it is not”–> “the world, as we know it, is…” weather should be whether. Parallel structures demand you turn “at home, or in the office” into “at home, or at work”. One last one is “they can eat, and live a betterl life”, you don’t need a comma. Good idea though

It’s o.k., but you misspelled “weather”…,”weather it’s at school, at home, or…”

With that spelling it’s snowing or raining. Otherwise it’s o.k.
