Going green (from a first news article 16-22nd May 2014)




“From next year, shoppers in England will have to pay 5p for each plastic bag that they take from a shop to carry away shopping.”

The reasons given are:

-         Many plastic bags are used once and thrown away.

-         Plastic takes a very long time to break down.

-         Little pieces of plastic can cause problems for animals.

-         Lots of plastic bags end up littering our streets.

Do you agree with this? How would you persuade someone to your point of view?

Write a paragraph that persuades someone to your point of view. Try to use powerful and emotive language. Remember to think, say, write  and check.
