Outline Structure of the Three Point Paragraph: http://216.119.74.154/home/5th-6th/lkidwell/student_resources/threepointparagraph.htm

The paragraph below discusses the following topic: How is your life different? What are some things you used to do, but now you don't do them anymore.

When I was younger, I used to do many things that I don't do now. I used to do watch cartoons on Saturday morning, but now I watch other programs. For example, I used to watch the Bugs Bunny Show, but now I watch CNN or movies. When I was younger, I used to high calorie foods such as pancakes or eggs and toast in the morning. Now I eat fruit and toast. the reason is that I didn't worry about gaining weight then, but now I do. Finally, I used to hate going to bed at night, but now, I can't wait to go to sleep. When I was a kid, I didn't want to miss anything, but now, it doesn't matter as much. As you can see, my life now is quite different.
