TOPIC EXAMPLE:
Money would make my life better. Do you agree or disagree? Why?
APE format, continued
I agree that money would make my life better. It would make my life better because I would be able to work to live, rather than live to work. What I mean is that I could use my money for other interests like traveling or buying high-end sports equipment rather than using all my money to pay bills. Being rich would allow me to enrich my life by traveling to exotic countries and becoming a better athlete because I would have the time and better equipment to practice.
