Boring Ice-skating is my favorite sport, and I
want to tell you about it.

• Better It is ten degrees below zero, and the
  river is frozen a foot thick. It makes snapping
  sounds like the limbs of trees crackling. A lone
  figure glides along the black ice and moves
  toward the city. The only sound is the scraping
  of each blade as it bites into the river. That
  is me doing what I love best, ice-skating.

Boring The human brain is a complex organ.

• Better It sees stars, and it dreams of
  eternity. It hears birds, and it makes music.
  It smells certain foods, and it feels nostalgic
  for home. It touches tools, and it can transform
  the Earth. But if deprived of these senses, the
  human brain withers and dies.

In this paper, I will attempt to answer the
question why history is important.

• Better What is the point of studying history?
  Who cares what happened a long time ago? After
  all, arent all the people in these books dead?
  I asked myself all of these questions, and I came
  to realize why history is so important to the
  present and the future.

Many people have been affected by gentrification,
the process of rehabilitating old neighborhoods
by people with money which causes prices to go up
and the poorer residents to have to leave.

• Better I never thought they would kick my
  grandmother out. Even after the stores started
  opening and the fancy restaurants came after
  that, I still always believed my grandmother
  could stay. I didnt know the horror of
  gentrification, the process of rehabilitating old
  neighborhoods by people with money which causes
  prices to go up and the poorer residents to have
  to leave. Now I do.

Boring Flies are an important member of the
animal kingdom.

• Better Though we have been killing them for
  many years and consider them a nuisance, folklore
  exists that states that flies, with a little
  sugar, taste very much like black raspberries.

Boring Throughout history, it has been
individuals who dreamed big that have made
change.

• Better Goethe, a German philosopher, once said,
  Dream no small dreams for they have no power to
  move the hearts of men.
