Writing Structure Analysis

Read the three-paragraph argument. Then answer each question using details from the passage. Think about how the introduction, body and conclusion work together.

Should the skate park stay open later?

Paragraph 1 — The skate park is a popular place for young people to practise skills and catch up with friends. The council should keep it open until 8 pm on summer evenings. A later closing time would give more people a chance to use the park after school and work. Paragraph 2 — Many students have commitments during the afternoon, such as sports, jobs or helping at home. An extra hour in the evening would make it easier for them to skate. Keeping the park open later could also give young people a safe, supervised place to spend time, rather than leaving them to gather in less suitable spots. For example, the council could arrange regular evening patrols and ask users to follow clear noise and safety rules. Paragraph 3 — Extending the skate park’s summer hours would make the facility more useful and welcoming. With sensible supervision and rules, the community could support young people while keeping the area safe for everyone.
