Reports: Writing to Inform
Our second grade class has been studying the human body. We each chose one or two body parts to write a report on. I chose the lungs which is a part of the Respiratory System. First, I will explain how the body part works. Then, I will teach how to keep the body part healthy.
First,
how
do the lungs work? Your
lungs let you blow and breath. Your lungs are in your chest and your lungs let
fresh air get in. You need air to
stay alive and when you breath,
fresh air goes in your nose and mouth
and when you breath out the air gets pushed out.
When air comes through, it turns warm. There are a lot of tubes in your
lungs .Your lungs are really important and
it helps you talk. Your used air
comes out when you breath out. You
have one lung on each side. You
need oxygen to live and when the air goes in, your lungs get bigger.
If you didn’t have lungs you would be dead because
you need to breath and talk. I
think the lungs are amazing because they let you blow, talk, and breath.
Now, how can you keep your lungs healthy.
Don’t go buy cigarettes, it keeps your lungs dirty. Exercise makes your
respiratory system stronger. I realize that you shouldn’t smoke or you would
die faster, if you don’t smoke you would live longer.
First, I explained how the lungs work.
