prefer walking to other
physical activities.
One reason is that walking
can be done easily.
I can do it anywhere at any
time with no need for any
equipment.
Also, I prefer walking because
it is good for the heart.
I don’t have to do much effort
while walking.
Lastly, I prefer this physical
activity because it is safe.
It is not as risky as other
physical activities like
swimming, racing, or biking
For all these reasons, I
consider walking the best
physical activity of all.

The three principles of writing a
paragraph.
1. Unity
2. Coherence
3. Development
UNITY
Unity in a paragraph means that every
sentence focuses on the same main
idea, helping the writer stay focused
on one topic, which makes the writing
clear and organized.
Coherence
Coherence in a paragraph means that all
the ideas, from the main topic to
supporting details and conclusion, flow
smoothly and logically, linked together by
words like "first," "next," or "finally."
Development
Development in a paragraph means
thoroughly explaining and supporting
the main idea so that readers fully
understand without any lingering
questions.

There are several reasons why I enjoy
reading books more than watching
movies.
One reason is the flexibility of reading. I
can dive into a book anytime, anywhere,
without relying on screens or electricity.
Additionally, reading allows me to use my
imagination. I create vivid worlds and characters in
my mind, making the experience unique each time.
Lastly, reading offers a sense of tranquility. Unlike
the fast pace of movies, books let me immerse
myself in a story at my own pace, without
distractions.
For these reasons, I find reading books to be
the most enjoyable form of entertainment.
