The author strengthens their viewpoint in the passage by including a thesis statement, demonstrating their use of an argumentative text structure.
Generally, the life of a high school student is filled with activities. Besides balancing time with family and friends, many seniors take around five classes a day, per semester. In addition to regular-level classes, some opt to take advanced courses. Of course, many students also participate in school-sponsored clubs or team sports. However, one important activity hasn’t been acknowledged yet. High school students should be required to complete one semester of volunteer activity. Some say that students’ main obligations are to study and earn money for college. This paper will explore the value of volunteering and the impact it has on an individual and societal level.
