(2) They might say that exotic pets make the owner stand out in a crowd. (3) They also might say that owning an exotic pet is a uncomparable and rewarding experience. 4) While an exotic pet may be rewarding, a domesticated animal will provide that same if not safer reward.

(5) It is clear to see that these unique animals also come with unique challenges particularly when they mature. Below, this is another example of a counter-argument paragraph While President Obamas proposal has many supporters, not everyone agrees that the school year should be extended. Opponents of this proposal claim that extending the school year is simply too expensive.While budget must be considered, education is the foundation for our countries future. If we are going to invest money in anything it should be education. In a recent interview with Matt Lauer President Obama discusses the cost associated with extending the school year, saying, that would be money well spent. Another point often discusses by the opposition is, that shortening the school year will take away important family and social development time. Un fortunately, many students in our country do not have the ability to participate in summer nurture activities.Summer camps and learning programs are a luxury often enjoyed by middle and upper class families. Without these programs many students experience summer learning loss wherein they can lose up to two months of math and reading skills. In summary, although there are arguments against extending the school year, it is important to consider what is best for our children. If we want to give all Americans the opportunity to compete in a global job market, it is important to invest in our students now and extend the school year.
