I need a different way how to say?

I doing an persuasive essay and I started it “In my persuasive essay I’m going to write about how the government should not change the driving age.” and my teacher said “do not use first person” what is a different but intelligent way to put this!

“The purpose of this essay is to explain why the government should not change the driving age.” That gets rid of your first person problem.

First off never start an essay with “in this essay” because they’ll figure out what it’s about when they read it—it’s kinda redundant.

Don’t write in first person basically means don’t use the word “I”. Just write something like—The government should not change the driving age for a variety of reasons such as _______, ________ and _________.

Hope that helps ya a little!

Have you gone over writing an introduction? You need to have some kind of attention getter. Shocking statement is a good one. Start with a statistic about how many accidents teen drivers cause a year. I don’t know from your statement if you are saying the government shouldn’t lower it or raise it. Your thesis statement should be, “The government should not raise the driving age” or “The government should not lower the driving age.” Of course, it won’t be in quotes in your paper. Make your position clear.

I’ve learned not to start any essays saying what your going to talk about (like how you did). Why don’t you say something like: “The government should not change the driving age…..” And go from there. Good luck!

If it is a persuasive essay, don’t use “I” or “my. You can simply write “The current age for getting a driver’s licence should not be changed by the gorvernment.”

The current driving age is set reasonably at eighteen, and the government would be mistaken to modify it.
