Conclusion (Draft)
I think a ton about that day I spent with Mr. Lee a ton. Sometimes I wonder, who I might be now if I went to the pool with my friends instead? We still hang out together a couple of times each week doing cool stuff. He has taught me a ton of stuff. Mostly, I learned that everyone needs a freind to make them smile!
After my mom told me I was going to Mr. Lee’s, I said, “Well, I guess this means I don’t get to go to the pool with my friends!”
“Sometimes we need to put others first,” Mom replied, “and put ourselves last.”
“Why don’t you go?” I asked sarcastically.
She smiled and said, “I have a feeling you’ll thank me later. Now, get moving.”
6Underline the information and details added in the revision that replaced the phrase “cool stuff.”
Conclusion (Final after revisions)
I often think about that hot summer day I spent with Mr. Lee. Sometimes I wonder who I might be now if I had gone to the pool with my friends instead. Mr. Lee and I get together three times each week to play cards, watch his favorite game shows, or sit on his shady porch and talk. He has taught me what is important in life. Mostly, I learned that people need a friend to make them smile.
