Do you write first or read the sample essay first? I can compare vocabulary, but what if the sample uses totally different ideas? What would you change in your paragraph without copying it?

Compare one body paragraph: where does the sample explain its point, and where does yours? Keep your own idea. Got a short pair we can look at?

Small practice pair: First: 'Working from home benefits employees. It is good for them.' Revised: 'Working from home can save employees the time they would spend commuting. They could use that time to rest or be with their family.' Now it names a benefit and explains it, instead of just saying 'good'.

Could try a different benefit next, and say what it changes. Like the travel-time example does.
