    1. Interesting and Effective LEADS

    2. Boring: Ice-skating is my favorite sport, and I want to tell you about it. Better: It is ten degrees below zero, and the river is frozen a foot thick. It makes snapping sounds like the limbs of trees crackling. A lone figure glides along the black ice and moves toward the city. The only sound is the scraping of each blade as it bites into the river. That is me doing what I love best, ice-skating.

    3. Boring: The human brain is a complex organ. Better: It sees stars, and it dreams of eternity. It hears birds, and it makes music. It smells certain foods, and it feels nostalgic for home. It touches tools, and it can transform the Earth. But if deprived of these senses, the human brain withers and dies.

    4. In this paper, I will attempt to answer the question why history is important. Better: What is the point of studying history? Who cares what happened a long time ago? After all, aren’t all the people in these books dead? I asked myself all of these questions, and I came to realize why history is so important to the present and the future.

    5. Many people have been affected by gentrification, the process of rehabilitating old neighborhoods by people with money which causes prices to go up and the poorer residents to have to leave. Better: I never thought they would kick my grandmother out. Even after the stores started opening and the fancy restaurants came after that, I still always believed my grandmother could stay. I didn’t know the horror of gentrification, the process of rehabilitating old neighborhoods by people with money which causes prices to go up and the poorer residents to have to leave. Now I do.

    6. Boring: Flies are an important member of the animal kingdom. Better: Though we have been killing them for many years and consider them a nuisance, folklore exists that states that flies, with a little sugar, taste very much like black raspberries.

    7. Boring: Throughout history, it has been individuals who dreamed big that have made change. Better: Goethe, a German philosopher, once said, “Dream no small dreams for they have no power to move the hearts of men.”
