Instructions: Make the necessary changes where indicated in the passage to create more detailed sentences. Click on the HINT button if you need help.

     Our country has been experiencing problems with its youth. If young people were required to serve in the military, they would stay out of trouble and learn good skills that they will use throughout their lives. My friend who served in the military for four years told me that military service helped him a lot and taught him many things. Mandatory military service would not only teach America's young people the meaning of respect and obligation but it would also provide them with the self-discipline they lack.
