It’s important to make your writing interesting so that the reader will want to keep reading. One way to make your writing interesting is to start every sentence in a different way. Too much repetition makes the writing boring.
Here is an example of boring writing. Every sentence begins the same way.
I have a dog. My dog is big. My dog is brown. My dog likes me. My dog eats dog food every day. My dog likes to go for walks with me. My dog can run fast. My dog is my best friend.
To make this writing better, let’s try to begin each sentence in a new way. See what you think. Does this rewrite make the story more interesting?
I have a dog. His name is Chocolate because he is a dark brown color. Every day, I put dog food in a bowl for him. We like to go for walks together. Chocolate can run fast, and he beats me every time we race to get back home. When Chocolate licks my face, I can tell that he likes me. My dog is my best friend.
