Use a quote: "Time is money."

ConclusionFinal Comment Suggestion: The facts strongly suggest the existence of a
green house warming effect on our atmosphere. It is vital, therefore, that we heed the warnings and do our best to keep this problem from getting worse.
Opinion: Certainly there are advantages and disadvantages to both of the plans presented here. However, because the second plan has more mass appeal than the former one, it would be a much better choice for the citizens of our country.
Prediction: This essay has presented strong arguments in favor ofgovernment control of television. Without this control, there will continue to be a decline in the moral values of American society.
