  5. Write a clear topic sentence . Ensure to include a controlling idea. Camping is the best form of holiday for these reasons. I think everyone should go camping. When you plan for a holiday, you should consider about camping. Although there are many holiday packages available, I think everyone should consider camping as an alternative.

  6. Camping is the best form of holiday for these reasons. Firstly, it allows you to get in touch with nature. Unlike other typical holidays, camping gives you direct access to the natural surrounding. You can actually bath in the cold river, breath pure mountain air and listen to birds chirping as you relax in your tent. Next, as telephone reception is poor in many camping grounds, you can enjoy a truly relaxing holiday. No one from the office can call you, so you can forget your work problems for a while. Lastly, it is also cheap. It doesn’t cost much to rent a tent and a camping site. If you normally pay $100 to $200 per night for a hotel room, you only need to pay $10 or less to rent a tent a night. These are why I believe everyone should go camping.

  7. Consider: • Unity - All points must focus on the topic / controlling idea • Coherence - flow of ideas ** first, second, third,… Then, after, later, soon, … However, yet, otherwise, therefore, …
