A person should shower in the morning before work because when he wakes up he might still be sleepy and the shower will help him wake up. (too short)

In my opinion, a person should shower in the morning before work for a couple different reasons. One reason is that when he wakes up, a person might be sleepy. If he takes a shower in the morning, he will feel awake and active. This will help him be more productive at work. Another reason to take a shower in the morning is so you can start the day as a clean person. You will feel more comfortable and confident if you are clean, and this can help you for the rest of your day. (still time for another reason and a conclusion)

Homework: choose 20 of the topics on the handout and spend 15 seconds each to write a couple of notes about your answer and reasons for your answer
