introduction and a conclusion help the reader see  how these paragraphs work together to

present the writer's personal viewpoint.

I leaned that I am better at division than I thought.  Math is easier when you put you[r] mind to it.

I plan to get my GED by the end of the year [approximately] June 12, 2206.

I found out today that some of my ideas seem kind of screwed up once [they're] on paper.  Hopefully I

 correct these ideas when I type on computer. I'm practicing essays for my GED.
