Answer 1

Just something to think about: You took your mom's car before you could drive and you're going to write about it in an English paper?  Is that the impression you want to give your teacher within the first couple weeks of class?  Also, I think with the topic that you were given you are probably suppose to be writing about a lesson learned, not how you manipulated your way into getting your mom to pay for driver ed.  

I'm not passing judgement, we've all done silly things like that in high school, but you might want to rethink your topic.  Good luck!

Answer 2

I'm a Teacher in English as a Second language for college level students.. This topic refers to cause and effect. you can research this on line. just type in cause and effect. I like to ask my student to try to grab the attention of the reader. maybe you can sk a question to start with? Like for example, you can introduce the topic by asking :

Have you ever did something that you knew at the time was bad but later realized it was good because you learned a lesson from it? I had just this experience when..................(then introduce.)

Make sure to write one paragraph (or more) telling the cause......(your car accident would be the cause AKA the reason you learned a lesson)

the next paragraph would be the effect (you lesson you learned)

u didn't state the lesson you learned. even if you dont feel u learned anything please just make one up to assure the teacher you followed the rules for the essay. I know most my students stories are not fully true. and I dont care. I just want the points covered. good luck
