Heading Introduction Body 1 (1st argument) Body 2 (2nd Argument) Body 3 (3rd Argument) Conclusion

Lunar Park: the place to go. I think we should go to Lunar Park. It is easy to get to, not too expensive and so much fun. A visit to Lunar Park is the best choice. Lunar Park is located in Sydney so transport is available quiet easily. It can be reached if we use a ferry, bus and/or train. Students can travel there safely and conveniently. I estimate that the trip will in total take 3 hours and 27min. This requires us leaving Hamilton station on the 7.34am train and getting to Circular Quay before going on the 10.40am ferry across to Lunar Park. We can spend a wonderful day at Lunar Park and transport there and back will not be a problem. _________________________ _________________________ The choice of Lunar Park as the place for our excursion is the best choice to make. It will be easy to get to, the cost is low and it would be a great deal of fun.
