Question

read the following excerpt from a student essay. how can the writer best improve his or her organization?
i was extremely excited about the trip until i realized that we wouldnt have any cell phone reception. no cell phone reception for a whole week? i thought i would lose my mind with boredom. as it turned out, though, it was actually a good experience. last summer my parents and i went camping in the mountains for one week. during the day, we took hikes together around the lake where we were camping. we also went swimming in the lake, which was filled with freezing water and hungry fish that nibbled on my toes. in the evening, we told stories around the campfire or played cards together. i would definitely take a vacation like that again.
by swapping the final two sentences
by introducing the topic before giving details
by moving the first sentence to the end

Explanation:

The essay starts with feelings about the trip without first introducing the trip (the camping experience). The current structure has the reaction first, then the trip details. To improve organization, introducing the topic (the camping trip) before giving details (feelings, activities) makes the flow logical. Swapping final two sentences or moving first to end don't address the lack of topic introduction upfront.

Answer:

by introducing the topic before giving details
