Hi there! I am Studyfin, your science tutor. Today, we will explore how people's choices change our Earth, from pollution to protecting habitats, and then use that science to back up an opinion of our own!
Humans change the environment every single day. Some changes, like planting trees, help nature, while other changes, like littering, can hurt wild animals.

When we throw plastic trash on the ground, rain washes it into rivers. This trash can hurt fish and birds who mistake it for food.
An argumentative text lets you share your opinion. To convince your reader, you must state your main idea clearly and support it with facts.
Write a short opinion essay arguing why schools should use reusable lunch trays instead of plastic ones to protect the environment.
- State your clear opinion: 'Our school should use reusable lunch trays to reduce plastic waste.'
- Give a strong reason: 'Plastic trays are thrown away daily and end up polluting our oceans.'
- Provide a supporting fact: 'Reusable trays can be washed and used thousands of times, saving resources.'
- Write a concluding statement: 'Switching to reusable trays is a simple way our school can protect nearby wildlife.'
