How about,” After I shave my legs, you would think I had as much fur as a Koala!.

While I know the human race is not becoming extinct, I know that I am a unique person and that there will be another ME . This ties in with maternalism, because people have children , (mothers being considered ‘maternal’) which prevents extinction of our race. However, after the way I see some children behave, I may decide not to have children. If everyone felt this way, our race could become extinct. THE BIG DIFFERENCE IS: The koalas have no choice.

Then lead in to your essay…..

“Tell ’em what you’re going to tell ’em, Tell ’em, tell ’em what you told ’em”

For an intro (it is “an”, not “a” BTW….), try starting out like:

In this paper I will relate how the koala bear and I have similarities and also differences. It will also discuss X and Y. In addition…..

The intro doesn’t have to be especially long, but you do want to keep the reader interested!

Good luck. You can also relate to the koala bears by saying you’re cuddly….but that may be overdoing it! 🙂

Such a scene is played out thousands of times across Australia daily. But once it happened millions of times every morning. For the last few million years. No longer. The koala, cute bear-like marsupial that aprt from the kangaroo is the most recognisable symbol of Australia, is on the verge on extinction.” etc, etc.
