Writing a paragraph Paragraph is 5-7 sentences on one idea: It needs: A Topic Sentence, Key Point (Supporting

sentence) and (sometimes a concluding sentence) • Main Idea of paragraph is usually at the beginning in a

Topic Sentence (main idea sentence)• Support the TS by: explaining logically, giving

examples, facts, and supported opinions• Use illustrates, anecdotes (stories), images to describe

and explain detail• Sometimes a concluding sentence will summarize, draw

a conclusion, or tie in with next point (transition to next paragraph )

Transitions

Transitional　Expressions These words and phrases act as signposts for readers, telling which

direction the writing is about to move in. They usually come at the beginning of a sentence, where they show how a new thought relates to what has come before. Some common transitional expressions are listed below, according to the type of relationship they indicate.

contrast and qualification--on the contrary, however, in contrast, still, yet, nevertheless, on the other hand

continuity--besides, furthermore, in addition, also, secondly, to continue, next, similarly, likewise, moreover, indeed, again, in other words

cause/effect--thus, therefore, as a result, consequently, hence, for this reason

exemplification--for instance, for example, in fact, more specifically, to illustrate

summation--finally, in conclusion, to sum up, in brief, lastly, as we have seen
