Introduction to paragraphs
Paragraph
|
| (Paragraph is the basic unit of organization
in writing in which a group of related sentences develops one
main idea. A paragraph can be as short as one sentence or as
long as ten or more sentences. The number of sentences is unimportant;
however, the paragraph should be long enough to develop the
main idea clearly. In general, a paragraph comprises three major
structural parts: a topic sentence, supporting sentences, and
a concluding sentence. The topic sentence states the main idea
of the paragraph. It not only names the topic of the paragraph,
but also limits the topic to one or two areas that can be discussed
completely in the space of a single paragraph. The specific
area is called the controlling idea. ) |

Key

 |
| I plan my daily activities carefully
so that I can have adequate time for both work
and play. First, I make a list of my weekly activities.
Then, I decide on good and regular times for study,
since study is the most important thing for a
student. Third, I set aside some time for rest
and play. I am fully aware of the importance of
relaxation and recreation. A person who only knows
study will lose much enjoyment in life. So I won't
let study occupy all of my free time. I'm sure
such a carefully-made plan will enable me to improve
the efficiency for both work and play. |
