Here is the introduction and conclusion you may copy and paste into your essay. Remember, if you want the B, you must create your own using a hook from this list and a clear thesis.
Introduction:
I do not have a job because I am too young, but every day I see people working: the bus driver, teachers, the man at the corner store, my parents, and countless others. I used to think that people just worked to earn money. However, after studying numerous pieces from Unit 1, I have come to understand that people work for a variety of reasons. They work because ___________. They also work to _________. Finally, people work because _________.
Conclusion:
People don't work just to earn money. They work because ___________. They also work to _________. Finally, people work because _________. I am young, and I have not had a job. But now I know that when it comes time to work, I will have a better understanding of why I am doing it. Maybe this unit will even help me choose the right job when the time comes.
