You are 16, you’re are beautiful and
you are a voter:
In the article “you are 16, you’re
are beautiful and you are a voter” the writer “Kamenetz” is trying to state
that the government should lower the voting age to 16 years. She argues that
young people who smoke, drink, and can get a credit card, should be given the
chance to vote. She believes that giving
this right to young people will make them think more serious. She also thinks
that this in a way will improve the sense of responsibility inside them toward
their future’s decisions.
The author used some points to
support her idea about lowering the voting age to sixteen. For example, she
mentioned that young people especially the ones who work have the right to get
credit cards. She also indicated that teenagers can get their driving permit at
the age of sixteen as well. Another point the author went through was teenagers
who want to vote should pass a civics course in order to get a permit to vote.
In other words, she is trying to say that teenagers and young people who can do
and get the things that I mentioned earlier, should get the chance to give
their views and to participate in elections.

Good job Nour: good clear division between your two paragraphs. Look at the last sentence in your first paragraph: "She also thinks that this in a way will improve the sense of responsibility inside them toward their future’s decisions." - This is AMOST a great sentence that accurately describes her argument. Can you read it aloud and rework to make it clearer?
ReplyDeleteA couple small (but important) things: capitalize the title of the essay. Don't put the author's name in quotation marks.
