Your teacher,

P.S.-Here is my example:
If I had the choice to have a 3-day weekend every week or have an extra month of summer vacation, I would rather have a 3-day weekend every week. If I had a 3-day weekend instead of 2 days, I would get a lot more done! In addition, I would not have to work as much, and I could spend more time working out, shopping, reading, relaxing, and hanging out with my friends. Plus, I would not feel so rushed on my weekends. I could even go out of town for long weekends and visit family and friends! However, some may prefer an extra month of summer vacation because they could take longer trips. I think the benefits of longer weekends out weigh the benefits of an extra month of summer. I prefer having a 3-day weekend rather than having another month of summer vacation.
I would rather be a superstar. Because at some point I would earn more than 500 million dollars. Also I would get a lot of cool stuff like cars and penthouses. I would also like to be famous because then everybody would know your name. Others may argue that getting 500 million from the start would be better because you didn't do any work to get the money but I think being famous would be better. I would rather be a superstar than have 500 million dollars.
