Some useful advice on the use of paragraphs:
Dividing your work into paragraphs
- Good paragraphs divide your assignment according to topics or major points.
- Each paragraph should discuss just one main idea and your reader should be able to identify what the paragraph is about. Each new paragraph should indicate a change of focus.
- Paragraphs often start with a topic sentence or part of a sentence – a statement which is expanded on in the rest of the paragraph. (Try reading only the first sentence of each paragraph of a newspaper article. You can get a flavour of the key points for the whole text.)
- The topic sentence acts as a ‘signpost’ directing your reader through the essay and should also relate back to the assignment question.
