One of the best ways to help teens find their way is to make volunteer work a mandatory part of their school curriculum. teens have a propensity to volunteer more than adults. 46% of teens who volunteer are working with a religious groups or a youth leadership organization while only 18% of teens who volunteer are working with school-based groups. add mandatory volunteer work to the school curriculum.
Explanation:
this is it summarized. although I'm half laughing at this, saying that 46% of teen volunteers are in religious based groups or youth groups versus the 18% school volunteers doesn't prove that we need mandatory volunteer work. that's like saying forcing people to go to the military will make them enjoy doing it. it's laughable really. in fact they are doing volunteer work in these groups because of a push or more modivation to do it, it isn't necessarily mandatory in either of these groups. a better way to think of this would be to encourage and persuade teens into it like these groups do. anyway, I know that was off topic but I thought it was relevant considering the text you're reading. have a good day.
In the given sentence, 'but' has been used correctly. The use of 'But' shows transition of the thought and action. 'But' is the conjunction that is used to show contrast between the first action and the second action. The first idea is to 'no buy anymore books' and the second idea is 'stopping by the library's used book sale'. Here, the two thoughts are standing in contrast to each other. Therefore the use of 'but' to build a transition has been aptly used.
