Paragraph Type (NARRATIVE, DESCRIPTIVE, EXPOSITORY, OR PERSUASIVE)

Read each paragraph carefully and decide whether it is a narrative, descriptive, expository, or persuasive paragraph.
Label it appropriately in the blank.

1. To be healthy, teens can exercise, eat nutritious foods, and keep themselves safe. First,
participating in various kinds of fitness can keep them in shape. This can include walking, riding their
bikes, and playing sports. Next, maintaining a nutrient-rich diet can help teens stay well. Three
balanced meals and two wholesome snacks a day can keep their health on track. Finally, staying out
of dangerous situations can keep teens healthy. Avoiding strangers, wearing seatbelts in cars, and
checking smoke detectors are all great ways to accomplish this task. Teens who follow these tips will
keep their bodies unharmed and in good physical shape.
2. One of the oddest coincidences in my life happened when I left America to visit Seoul, South
Korea. A friend and I wanted to visit a castle in Seoul, so we found some locals who agreed to take
us to see it. As we were walking up some steps from one part of the grounds to another, I saw some
people watching us from the top of the steps. When I got to the top, someone I had never seen before
mentioned my sister’s name and asked if I was her sister. I almost couldn’t talk! How could these
people know my sister, who lived in Australia? They explained that they were my sister’s neighbors in
Australia and that I looked just like her. It was the strangest experience in my life!
3. Pets should be allowed in school for a number of reasons. First, they help students feel more
comfortable. Some students feel very uncomfortable in a school setting, but taking along a pet gerbil
or gecko might help students relax. Also, students can make friends more easily with a pet. A pet frog
or tarantula can gather quite a crowd; and when students see what pets they have in common, they
can unite around their common interests. Finally, pets can keep students safe. Who wants to bully a
student who has a protective dog with him? For all of these reasons, students should be allowed to
take their pets to school.
4. Hanging on my bedroom wall is a picture of a train. Sometimes, when I’m lying on my bed, I take a
closer look. The front of the train has a number of flags, but they don’t look like today’s American flag.
Instead, these flags have stripes and a circle of stars. The train is at a station, and the conductor is
walking toward the tracks in front of the train. Is he preparing to speak to all of the hat-wearing men
and children behind him, or is he checking out the tracks? I can’t decide. The clock on the post
outside the station says it is about six fifteen, and I’m guessing that it’s evening and not morning since
it doesn’t look dark. I can just imagine the smell of coal and hear the sound of the train as it snorts
and breathes, chomping at the bit to get moving. The picture always makes me think about life in the
past.
5. All students should be required to learn how to use the internet. First, because the web gives
students access to a tremendous amount of research from the comfort of school or home, they can
save time doing research if they learn to use this resource. For example, if students want to write
about poodles, they can easily go to a search engine and find all of the resources they could possibly
want or need on the topic. Next, the internet allows instant communication with access to everything
from email to Skype. Students who have access to the web can communicate with parents and
friends during breaks, resolving issues or letting parents know about a schedule change. Finally,
learning to use the internet will help students compete in the highly-competitive and technologically-
savvy world. Many jobs today require employees to use the internet, and if students don’t know how
to do this, they will be stuck in lower-paying jobs. Clearly, the internet is a necessity in today’s world,
so all students should learn how to use it.
