Gold

As I ran over the golden sand
I spied something across the land.
In my favor, it was unplanned.
I picked up a treasure in my hand.

This golden trinket shimmered and shined.
Never thought that I would find,
Something that had been left behind
Worth so much in my mind.

This golden thing is my treasure,
The value of it cannot be measured.
I keep it with me for my pleasure.
I love my little golden treasure.

Informal and Formal Typing

Typing has made the grammar and spelling of teenagers worsen over the years. Teenagers sacrifice grammar and spelling when they are typing to their friends, but this most often develops into a habit. When typing informally becomes a habit, it tends to affect you when you try to type formally. Essays will take you longer to type when you constantly have to correct your typing. It also makes you more prone to typos. Although typing informally is easier and still helps to get your point across, you shouldn't make it a habit. In life, you are required to type many essays. It would make it a lot easier on yourself if you could type properly. People shouldn't have to depend on spellcheck to write their essays for them. Teenagers don't take the time and put in the effort to learn grammar and spelling because they rely on technology to correct them. It would save a lot of people's grades if they made sure to pay attention to their typing. Some people think people who type informally are ignorant and uneducated. If you don't want to seem uneducated, make sure to keep your informal and formal typing separate.
