Read: I used to like going to have my hair cut. I liked the mirrors in the room and all the smells of the lotions and shampoos. I liked to sit there--young and fresh and pretty--and see what the women were having done, to make themselves look younger and prettier. I liked the way my mother’s hairdresser teased me about boyfriends and dances. Not anymore, though. Somebody held the door open so my mother could wheel me in, and a few people who had met me came around to say how sorry they were.

Q: Write at least five sentences using details to capture the reasons why you like OR dislike a particular sport. Don’t TELL us why you like or dislike it; instead, use details TO SHOW what you like or dislike about it as the writer does about getting a haircut. **If you want to push yourself further, try shifting the focus of your writing as Voigt does in her paragraph.
