For the past 2 weeks in class, we have been creating our own election debate and ads to help the students in our school decide which party they would like to vote for in the student vote. As you all know, we as students cannot vote until we are 18 years or older. The student vote gives us students a chance to speak our opinion and vote in the BC election. This is a really great opportunity because the student vote teaches us how to vote and also makes us want to vote when we become legal to do so. Students will feel like it is sort of a tradition to vote and therefore, they will vote. This is the next generation we are talking about and the student vote is great to make the students familiar to voting.
We, as Canadian citizens, are so lucky to have the right to vote no matter what race, ethnicity, shape, or size you are. We should not neglect this wonderful opportunity because others who cannot vote, are dying to have a say in what they, as a country do. What I am trying to say is, every Canadian citizen should vote. It is our duty to do so responsibly. Many people take things for granted and do not appreciate the things our government does for all of us. So many people do not vote in elections simply because they are lazy to go through the hassle of trying to figure out which party to vote for. It is actually really simple to find who you want to vote for. Just watch the news every evening and you will find out the pros and cons of every party! Simple as that!
I must say, the whole election project that was going on in our Humanities class really motivated me to want to vote when I am 18! I did lots of research for every party so I basically know a few details here and there about every party. This year, if I were to actually vote in the BC Elections, I would vote for the Liberal Party. Partially because when I was watching the debate on T.V. , Christy Klark answered most of the questions anyone asked her very smoothly and persuasively and that is a very important aspect of debating. I personally did not like how Adrian Dix was dodging a lot of questions and avoiding telling the truth. That tells a lot of the party’s decisions. There were also some negative things that the NDP party had done so that convinced me more to want to vote for the Liberal party.
In conclusion, we should all vote no matter what because we are considered lucky that we even get a chance to vote. It is a duty that you should do as Canadians to be responsible and respectful. I encouraged my parents to vote this year and you should too.

Sydney,
Your post is very well done! You use lots of examples. For example you quoted Christy Klark. You have a good intro and conclusion. You have some areas in your paragrapghs that you could re-phrase. For example int he beginning on paragrapgh 3 instead of saying I must say you can just leave that out and start the sentence with "The whole election project..." Your paragrapghs are long enough which is good! Overall your p[ost is very good! Keep up the goo work!
I agree with Nick, your post is really well done. I especially liked the second paragraph. It was very well done. One thing you can work on though is trying to avoid using the same word over and over. I noticed that in the first paragraph you said 'vote' many times. My suggestion instead of saying vote you can say 'elect the next government' or something around those lines. Another thing is in some parts you didn't need to say vote at all and it would still make sense. Otherwise you did an amazing post, and it was really informative.
Good Job!
