What is an article? How many parts does an article have?

Place the parts of the article in the correct order

Watching a film or sitting down with a good book both sound like excellent hobbies. However, what happens when your favorite book gets turned into a movie? How do you decide between these two hobbies?

Of course, this does not mean that every film based on a book is bad. Tell me readers, what films do you believe were true to the source?

I think that to start, reading the book is the best choice. The book will always have more details and content. You can also imagine the characters however you want!

If possible, I would even say skip the film altogether. Movie adaptations of books are rarely true to the source material. Character development gets ruined and important actions are left out. Why ruin what you imagined with what Hollywood thinks is best?

Watch it or read it: which is best?

Write an article. Select one of the three prompts below: 1. Write an article about changes for the school day. Should the school day start later? Should students have less homework?
