    would + benefit America Other programs benefit

    financially

    Things to check:

    What type of evidence are you using? Is it valid? Your three reasons should be strong and well-

    supported. What is your topic and opinion? It it too broad or too narrow to write about? Can you

    research this and write a single page on it, without having boat-loads to write about.
