Expanded layering outline, Essay homework sample : Every school in my community should also include vegetarian dishes more than once a week in their cafeteria

             These days, Michelle Obama's school lunches is the big issue in schools. She wants to change the american student's school lunch into a healthier lunch. This is called Mrs. Obama’s Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act. According to this bill school cafeterias would have to provide more vegetables and fruits in the meals. Also, they should not use too much sodium in the meal and each meal has a calorie limitfrom 650kcal to 850kcal. Based on these new waves in school lunches reform, I agree that every school in my community should also include vegetarian dishes more than once a week in their cafeteria because eating vegetarian dishes is the greatest chance to get proteins, vitamins and minerals and it lowers the risk of obesity and may even improve self esteem in students
 
           Eating vegetarian dishes is the greatest chance to get proteins, vitamins and minerals.

helps to make muscle cells
it is an alternative way to get proteins for some students who cannot eat meats because of allergies or religious issues
vegetarian dishes have vitamins
is the way to receive natural vitamins

carrots have vitamin A
tomatoes have vitamin B
oranges have vitamin C
these are good at maintaining a healthy
reduces colds, freckles, and allergies
vegetarian dishes have minerals
quinoa has calcium
green beans have magnesium
spinach has iron
these minerals help to make strong bones and teeth
helpful to circulate blood in the body
 
         It reduces the risk of obesity and improves self esteem in students.
 
obesity is from excessive nutrients
students eat a lot of foods which include fat
one gram of fat is 9kcal
means that one gram fat can make 9kcal energy
often if someone gets 9kcal, they don't move or exercise
our body just stores this 9kcal or more grams of fat
if someone keeps doing this, this can lead to obesity
one gram of protein is 4kcal
vitamins and minerals do not have any calories
eating vegetarian dishes is a proper method to avoid obesity
obesity causes other problem
causes low self esteem
is possible that some students bully fat students
students who are overweight will not get good grades in physical education class
they will lay behind peers in P.E. class
they will be less confident
they will undervalue themselves
they will give up on P.E. class and perhaps other classes too
 
 
                In conclusion, every school in my community should provide vegetarian dishes more than once a week in their cafeterias because students are able to get proteins, vitamins and minerals from them that help to keep them healthy. Also, providing vegetarian dishes prevents obesity and getting low self esteem.

How can we use Articles properly?

   Using Articles in an essay was not esay for me because the korean language doesn't have 'Articles' so I really need to know how to use 'Articles' properly and correctly.
 
Look at these examples.
 
1. the book
2. a book
Example 1. the book is definite and singular, Example 2. a book is indefinite and singular.
We know that the book indicates one specific book between two and more people.
We know that a book means there is one book and just a book, it doesn't indicates specific book.
 
3. Mom bought some apples. I ate the apples this morning.
In this example, some apples are indefinite but the apples are the apples that mom bought, so it became specific apples. In the first sentence, I mentioned some apples so I could write the apples in the next sentence.
4. The teacher is talking about history.
If the speaker and the listener are the students in the same place, they can say The teacher.
 
5. The president is speaking about election.
If the speaker and the listener are the people who live in the same country, they can say The President. If the speaker and the listener are in U.S., The president indicates the current U.S. President.
 
6. I lost the book you gave me.
The listener(you) knows exactly whick book, so the book is definite.
 
7. We can see the sun in daytime.
There is only one sun in our experience. Also, The moon, The venus
 
8. I went to the bank to deposit.
If you want to say the place which is certainly familiar to the listener and you(speaker), you can use the bank.
 
 
9. The internet has changed the way people get informations.
If you want to make a formal generalization, you should say The internet




Give some comments about using Articles, share your ideas.
