Read the first draft and revised paragraph below. What are some of the changes that the writer made in revising her paragraph? There is more than one answer. Select all of the correct answers. First Draft:    Being healthy should be part of your overall lifestyle. To have a good state of health we must have a daily routine and follow it with great caution. It is important to eat a varied and balanced diet to stay healthy such as fruits, vegetables, and meats that contain iron and protein; in this way, we will have a good state of health. You also need to make sure you exercise regularly to keep your heart, lungs, and muscles strong and healthy. It depends on what one eats and on the way in which people stay active. A person who spends almost 24 hours a day sitting without doing anything will never have the same health as an active person, and with the passage of time, you will have heart and circulatory problems. That is why it is good to maintain an active life both physically and mentally. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is not only good for the elderly, but also for babies, young people, pets. We all deserve good health to feel good about our bodies. I recommend to all people that they stay active as the years go by. Their body will thank them with great health and many more years of healthy life.    Revised paragraph:     Being healthy should be part of people’s overall lifestyle in several ways.

Being healthy not only depends on what they eat but also on the way in which people stay active. They need to make sure they exercise regularly to keep their heart, lung and muscles strong and healthy.  A person who spends almost 24 hours a day sitting without doing anything will never have the same health as an active person, and with the passage of time, they will have heart and circulatory problems. People of all ages deserve good health to feel good. By staying active as the years go by, their body will thank them with great health and many more years of healthy life.
