Sample Paragraphs – Active Voice
For instance, the discovery of DNA illustrates the idea that cooperation is better than competition.
By the mid-20th century, many groups of scientists were trying to identify the structure of DNA.
Many famous researchers were all working on this, but they would not share their ideas with each
other since each one did not want to share the fame. Two other scientists, James Watson and
Francis Crick, visited with each of the researchers, got a look at their research, and combined
those ideas with their own. As a result, in 1953, they proposed the double-helix structure of DNA.
The other scientists had been close, but their competitiveness kept them from the answer. Thus,
cooperation is sometimes a much better option than competition.

Improving Paragraphs 1
(1) On the water, sailboats and motorboats go faster than canoes. (2) They also go faster in
stores. (3) People are buying them in greater numbers than ever before. (4) Not only are they
more fashionable, but they give status to their owners.(5) Yet I’ll take a canoe any time. (6) For
one thing, a canoe can last for more than thirty years. (7) Even if you get tired of it, you can sell it
for a fairly large fraction of its original cost. (8) For example, a new aluminum canoe may cost
$600, but a used one costs about $500 or less. (9) In addition, a canoe has no moving parts to
wear out. (10) Requiring almost no care at all, you only have to paint it every few years or bang
out some dents if you ride it through rapids. (11) Some high-end canoes are made of canvas
covering a sturdy wood frame, caned seats and copper and brass trim.
(12) Besides being economical, a canoe can be used in a variety of ways. (13) In the first place,
you can use it in the ocean as well as on a tiny lake. (14) One can use it on rivers, too. (15)
Marshes and small streams are fine for using a canoe. (16) As a result, wherever you go, there is
bound to be a place for canoeing. (17) Not only can you take it anywhere, but you can go
canoeing for a few hours or for weeks at a time. (18) In contrast to other boats, canoes don’t
depend on wind or fuel. (19) Furthermore, you don’t have to waste time setting up or taking
down a canoe. (20) Simply grab a paddle, and you’re off on your own.
