Paper 3 Process EXAMPLE
There is so much more to going grocery shopping then just going up and down the aisles looking for items that you may need. There is preparation. Preparation is an ongoing process and involves all members within the household.
One of the first steps in preparation is coupon clipping. Whether Fido brings in the paper or you must visit the newsstand, don’t forget to grab the coupons and advertisement pages from the Sunday newspaper. The coupons and advertisements give you a chance to see new products, decide on items that will be needed in coming weeks, and ultimately clipping coupons will save you money on the grocery bill.
The next step involves preparing a refrigerator list. The refrigerator list is composed of all the household items such as paper towels, soap, and cat food that are regularly used in your home. As household items are used, each person should remember to add the depleted item to the list on the refrigerator so that it can be included on the next grocery store run.
Depending on your families needs you may need to go grocery shopping weekly, bi-weekly or even monthly. Whatever your life dictates gather current grocery store advertisement and your coupons and work on your meal plan. From the meal plan, your grocery list is developed but then enhanced with the list of items on the refrigerator list.
Once the lists have been collated next comes sorting through all your coupons. Any item that you have on your list that can be purchased with a coupon should be marked with a “C” to remind you to purchase the correct brand.
Remember to never go grocery shopping hungry, you will feel the need to buy unnecessary items.
With list, coupons, and pen in hand you are ready to head to the grocery store. As you cruise up and down the grocery store aisles make sure to mark off each item on our list.
You must be a bargain shopper. Compare the prices of brands and sizes to get the best value for your buck. BEWARE! There will be many items marked for sale but keep walking if the item is not on your list.
After surveying all you see and making sure that all your grocery items have been retrieved, head to the checkout lanes. I hope that you have stuck to the plan and have saved a few dollars on your purchases.
In conclusion, even a chore like grocery shopping can be made easier by a little preparation.

Example of Paper 2 Description
Rubbers. Jimmies. Raincoats. Trojan. Lifestyle. Durex. The condom was known by many names. For the last three hundred years, the condom has helped prevent pregnancy and prevent the spread of sexually transmitted diseases, including AIDS. But now we must say goodbye – goodbye to this guardian of health and yes to an increase in unwanted pregnancies. Yes, to syphilis, chlamydia, herpes, and gonorrhea. Yes, to the steady climbing numbers of new AIDS case each year. But it is not like the condom didn’t try. The latex sheath worn on the penis during sexual intercourse acted as a barrier against the unknown – protecting all parties involved. Handled gently and not stored in back pockets, wallets, or anywhere that could possibly lead to damage, the condom was a shield. The condom was inexpensive and readily available. Because of its lightweight structure a man could enjoy sex longer, which also provided the couple with a safe, enjoyable, and undistracted sexual experience. Available in a variety colors, sizes, textures, lubricated and non-lubricated the condom begged for mass appeal. Attempting to diversify even more the condom offered a female version to help women take charge of their own sexual health.
Due to ignorance, embarrassment, lack of communication between parents and teens or just simple irresponsibility, the condom waited in vain for people to stop resisting it’s presence. But the resistance got stronger and the condom was left to die. The condom leaves children without families, a Nation plagued by STDs, and a world ravaged with AIDS.
