Task 1

There is a discussion among members of our school district.It is about putting soda machines in community schools.Those in favor point to the money the schools will receive.Others think that it is unhealthy for students.This is because soda is almost made up of sugar.

We at the Rocky Ridge Town Center believe that there is a way for both sides to come to an agreement.Why not allow schools to have machines that sell bottled water?This idea makes cents and sense.Schools will receive money to provide the best possible education to students.Students will be encouraged to drink more water.

Water is known to provide many health benefits.The bodies of human beings are made up of 60 percent water.A child who does not drink enough water may feel tired.He or she may also have headaches.This can lower a child's ability to concentrate in school.Also,there is no sugar and fat in water.It will not cause toothache.It will not cause weight gain either.Water helps the bodies and minds of students work at their best.Students need to drink enough water every day.Having water machines at schools increases the chances that they will.

It is our opinion that the Rocky Ridge School District should allow drink machines in the schools.The money that the schools make can be used to improve their libraries.It can also be used to buy new textbooks.

However,soda is not healthy for students.It should not be the drink that is sold in schools.Water is the drink the schools should sell.Students need to be encouraged to drink water.Drinking water helps them to stay in the best health possible.Water contribute to their ability to learn.Having more chances to drink water in school is healthy for students.It can help students have healthier lifestyles.
