GPS: an atempt to get rid of the traffic. (Here you could provide a bit more details on the background of the GPS system) With technology being part of our lives, a new gadget is launched in the market on a monthly basis. The GPS, known as Global Positioning System has hit our shelves not too long ago, providing ease in drivability in São Paulo. The use of the GPS is becoming more common nowadays because it’s easier, more precise and faster than the older systems available to us in the past.
First, the GPS is more practical to use (more practical than what?) because all that the user need to do is to type the destination wanted (where? how?). It takes only about five minutes to get the route down while the Thomas Guide would take a lot longer just to find the page with the neede address in it. Besides, the GPS is smaller (than what? And by how much?) and it fits inside purses, which makes it useful also when going on foot or visiting other countries. (Where is your example?)That’s why using the GPS is considered easier (Your language is too informal here).
Where are your topics # 2 and # 3?
Therefore, GPS is being more used than before due to it’s facility, precision and speed. People are now shunning away from the Thomas Guide and switching to the GPS because it’s starting to be handier in our society (Hummm .. you are repeating too much here). (Your conclusion is way too short. You need to work on more meat here.) Therefore, GPS is an alternative to avoid the traffic.
Amay,
The way it is not, here is your grade for this paper.
Content: 2 / 5 (way too short — even what you have written is way too short. YOu need to offer more information on the topic to make the reader want to read it.)

First, the GPS is more practical to use than Tomas Guide for instance, because all that the user need to do is to type the destination wanted on the GPS screen. It takes only about five minutes to get the route down while the Thomas Guide would take a lot longer just to find the page with the neede address in it. Besides, the GPS is almost 1/4 smaller and 1/4 lighter that the old Guide and it fits inside purses, which makes it useful also when going on foot or visiting other countries. In Brazil, for example, the use os GPS has increased a lot, since the traffic nowadays is just getting worse by the minute. Using the GPS is a great solution to learn some new routes that avoid a little bit of the traffic chaos, speccialy in São Paulo. That’s why resorting to the GPS is considered effortless.

Second, the GPS is more precise than Tomas Guide because it gives the exact directions and also gives the time it takes to get to the destination wanted. It’s also possible to turn on the volume of the GPS and hear a voice telling to “turn left” or “go straight ahead”, which is a great way to know the route without taking away the attention from the road. A good example of this is using the GPS while traveling on highways, where it’s completely necessary to pay attention to the road and the GPS provides the time it will take to get to the destination. Therefore, using the GPS is considered more precise than the normal guide.
(jessica) The GPS device is faster because it makes your life dynamic. When someone use it, doesn’t have the opportunity to get lost and consequently don’t have the opportunity to get late. Not getting late makes your life better and organized.
In conclusion, GPS is being more used than before due to it’s facility, precision and speed. People are now shunning away from the Thomas Guide and switching to the GPS , which is starting to be handier in our society. Nowadays, with all the worries in everyone’s minds, the GPS arrived with the idea of making the process of “searching in the Guide” for better routes without traffic easier. Therefore, GPS is an alternative to avoid the stressful traffic.
Rick, I’ve finished my paragraph and corrected the first one and the conclusion. I also added jessica’s paragraph here ok?
See you tomorrow.
