## Step 6 - Writing

An article about healthy drinks

You have read two texts about fizzy drinks and you have debated whether or not they should be banned. But if you can’t drink sugary, fizzy drinks, what can you drink? You are going to write an article about healthy drinks choices.

- First, do some research online.
  - What are healthy drinks?
  - What drinks may seem healthy, but aren’t really, and why?
- If you can’t find answers to the questions online, have a brainstorm with one or two classmates to come up with your own ideas.
- Write an article, using your notes.
  - Start with a short introduction. This can be a description of the problem, a short anecdote or some statistics and figures. If you use the latter, make use you research your data. You can also use one of the Reading texts as a basis for your introduction.
  - Describe what drinks are healthy and what drinks aren’t, and why.
  - End with a conclusion: what should people drink?
  - Check your spelling and grammar thoroughly.
- Ask your teacher how many words you have to use.
