Is Lola Big Enough To Ride the Roller Coaster.

We have been writing persuasive texts in One S and learning how to give our opinion.
Here are a few samples of our grades work.

Lola     is       not       big        enough     to        go     on     the       ride.

We believe     Lola      is   not     big    enough     to   go   on    the    ride.     Lola still need to grow taller to go on the ride.

 We know that if young children go on a ride that is too big for them they can get sick or scared half way through the ride and not be able to get off.

Rides have an age limit for a reason.

Millie.H. & Anabelle

Lola   is   not     big   enough   to   ride   on   the   roller   coaster.

We believe   when    she   finally   goes   on   the ride   she   will   find   it very   scary.       We   think   she   is    too   small to go on the roller coaster.

Young children need to wait to be old enough to ride on the roller coaster.

By Amelia and Ella.

Lola is not big enough to ride on the roller coaster.

I believe she needs to grow bigger.

I think she will be scared once she gets on the ride.

I know little people shouldn’t go on enormous rides until they are bigger.

By Giuliana

Lola is not big enough to ride on the roller coaster.

I believe that Lola is going to be too scared and may get sick on the ride.

I think that Lola is too small to go on the ride.

I know Lola is too young for this ride.

Lola needs to be taller to go on such a big ride.

Antonio and Cristian
