You have decided to write about your family camping trip to Nantahala National Forest. You want to share the many activities you enjoyed on this vacation. Which MOST CLEARLY organizes your story to allow you to share details about the many activities you enjoyed?

I will start with the moment we arrived and went on a discovery hike. Then I will write about our fishing fun and horse riding. My descriptions of camping in tents will be interesting, but I will save the best part for last, because on the day we left, we went water rafting.

I will start with the reasons we decided to go to Nantahala National Forest. I will tell about our other choices and explain how much my brother wanted to go fishing. This is why we ended up going to Nantahala. Then I will write about setting up the tent because that really took a long time.

I will start with the funny story about getting ready for our trip. Then I will describe the places we stopped to get gas. Because it was a long car ride, I will tell about the games we played and the movies we watched on the way. I will end my story with the list of souvenirs we bought at the gift shop.

A Dog is Man's Best Friend By: Mary O'Dell "A dog is man's best friend." This popular quote expresses the way many people feel about dogs. Cats, birds, gerbils, and even goldfish can make excellent pets, but the ideal pet to have is a dog. First of all, dogs are affectionate and fun companions. They will cuddle up to their owners to be petted. These loving animals are always ready for a hug or pat on the head. If they get the chance, some will even give their human friends a sloppy, wet kiss! Most dogs are playful, too. They love to chase sticks and fetch balls. According to the Humane Society, thirty nine percent of U.S. households own at least one dog. So it is no secret that dogs provide hours of enthusiastic entertainment and companionship. Secondly, many dogs are protective of their owners. In addition to cuddling and fetching, dog lovers appreciate the protective nature of many canines. Many dogs bark to alert owners when someone comes to their home. A dog owner often feels safer just knowing he has a loyal dog willing to protect its family or alert them of danger. If barking becomes a problem, most dogs can be trained to limit annoying yapping. Lastly, one of the best features of dogs is that they are great exercise partners. Dogs love to go on walks. Responsible pet owners understand that dogs need plenty of exercise. Daily walks can keep dogs happy and healthy. Of course, dog lovers benefit from this fitness plan, too. Having an energetic partner is great motivation to get off the couch and get moving. What is the best conclusion for the essay?

Simply stated, dogs are ideal pets. They are loving, fun, protective, and energetic companions. Even though owning and caring for a pet can be a big responsibility, it is worth it.

Dogs are difficult to care for. They can be costly, loud, and unruly. The best option for a pet is a quiet cat or a small hamster.

Dogs make people feel safe by barking at intruders. They can also help owners find their homes if they get lost on walks.

If they get the chance, some will even give their human friends a sloppy, wet kiss! Most dogs are playful, too.
