English 101 - p.141 prompt

I looked up two consumer-oriented websites something I was interested in. I am interested in gymnastics, so I looked up two different sites that promote this sport and why people should do it. Both articles promoted the benefits of gymnastics, one by LiveStrong and another by 12MinuteAthlete.

Which one was more useful? What makes it better?


I find the article by LiveStrong was more useful than the 12MinuteAthlete. I think this because it states its points clearly and efficiently, while the other is a narrative of a woman’s experience of gymnastics with a few points included. The LiveStrong’s format was also much more professional, and the points were in chronological order. It was very detailed and specific, telling you exactly the benefits of the sport. A way the other article by 12MinuteAthlete could be improved would be to shorten the narrative and to state her points in a clearer way. Also she could improve the formatting by not including her video in the middle of her story which was very distracting to the reader.
