    LIKE FREE TIME AND SLEEPING LATE.

    that you have nowhere to go. Its hard to add
    more ideas, when youve said so much in your
    first sentence.

GOOD EXAMPLE
  • STUDENTS GET EXCITED ABOUT VACATION FOR SEVERAL
    REASONS.

    to keep going by adding more details in the rest
    of your sentences.

  • On one handon the other hand
  • In the first placein the second place
  • Then Now Next
