Run-On Expository Paragraphs

  1. Students should feel lucky to attend Green River Community College, it has a lot wonderful opportunities to explore nature.
Corrected Run-On in Paragraph:
Students should feel lucky to attend Green River Community College; it has a lot of wonderful opportunities to explore nature. When walking around Green River beautiful cedar trees and forestry are seen everywhere. There are many trails from building to building. Without trees you would not have fresh air, which helps students have better health. Therefore the clean environment leads to an optimal study environment for students, impacting them in positive ways that other campuses cannot provide.

  1. College textbooks are priced way too high, students find them to be a financial burden.
Corrected Run-On in Paragraph:
College textbooks are priced way too high; students find them to be a financial burden. Normally at books stores, non-school related books are maybe thirty dollars at the most; but when you buy a school related book they can be hundreds of dollars. I have financial aid and can barely afford school then I had to buy three hundred dollars’ worth of books out of pocket money? Buying books for school can put financial stress on a lot of students.

3.       GRCC is a diverse school GRCC students can have many discourses.

Corrected Run-On in Paragraph:
GRCC is a diverse school because the students have many discourses. There are so many different types of people at Green River that you may never meet. Every person has their own lifestyle and their own job. For example think of the thirty people who are in one of your classes, every person has a different job; so that makes 30 discourses in a single class. Now think of the thousands of students that attend Green River, which could make up thousands of discourses. Green River is a discourse, full of other discourses.

4.     I love to explore Seattle, Seattle has many interesting things to explore.

Corrected Run-On in Paragraph:
I love to explore Seattle because; Seattle has many interesting things to explore. There are unlimited amounts of places to visit in Seattle. From Pike Place Market, to the Space Needle; there are endless possibilities of the places you could explore. Seattle is a very large city and known to many around the country. Seattle is the perfect place for tourists to go, even if you live in Washington; it’s fun to be a tourist for a day. Whenever a day is needed out of the house; Seattle is the perfect place to go to have fun and explore different opportunities.

5.       A smoking ban on campus is good for students not everyone should be exposed to cigarette smoke.

Corrected Run-On in Paragraph:
A smoking ban on campus is good for students. Not everyone should be exposed to cigarette smoke. Many students have complained about walking by the smoking areas at school because they don’t want to be exposed to cigarette smoke. There are many cons of smoking cigarettes because you can get sick and it smells bad and sticks easily to hair and clothes. Nobody wants second hand smoke because it is even more dangerous than smoking itself, so that is why Green River Community College has put a smoking ban on.
