For example, does it lack sentence structure variety? Any grammar-related errors? (The real paper has indented paragraphs) Boring? Anything.
Thanks, guys.

Americans are a lazy and impatient people. If one were to observe the American society, it would be alarmingly obvious that this is true. As a people, we desire instant gratification in all aspects of life. If we want something, we want it now.
We are constantly looking for ways to eliminate work. Don’t like what’s on the television? Why get up to change the station? Use the remote control. Oh, no, the dishes are dirty. Just throw them in the dishwasher. Is your son having a hard time learning in school? Why would you help them with their homework? Just tell them they have a disorder and put them on medication. Responsibility diverted.
Americans are also very impatient. This shows with the way we go about our daily lives. When we’re hungry, we’re hungry. We don’t want to fool around with cooking because that’s bothersome. Let’s just run - not literally, of course - to McDonalds and pick up some food. Fast food may be the greatest invention since electricity (better if electricity weren’t required for its operation) in America. You can save time, save yourself from work, and feed your face all in one stop - the best part? You never have to leave your vehicle. Microwaves are another brilliant time saving invention. Screw cooking a frozen potpie in the oven. Why would you do that when you could just throw it into a radioactive compartment and zap it for five minutes? Time saved.
The most disturbing thing about our laziness is how it is reflected by the way we take care of ourselves. Instead of dieting or exercising, we simply swallow pills with questionable contents and hope for results. If that doesn’t work, we will probably either try another one, or just give up and say that we’ve tried everything and nothing seemed to work. We want to have a nice tan, but tanning naturally is much too inconvenient. Instead, we visit an artificial tanning booth and bake for a few minutes. That was much easier, wasn’t it?
In conclusion, Americans are lazy and impatient. From remote controls, to fast food, to diet pills, we are progressively getting lazier and lazier. Can you blame us? Why do something the hard way when it is much easier to do it another way? Will this ever change? Of course it won’t. After all, time is money.
