Composition & Essay Writing . [ 7 ]

Paragraph Writing .

A paragraph is a group of sentences that tell about one main idea . The first line is indented or          set in from the margin . A paragraph topic is what the paragraph is about .

The main idea is what the author wants to say about the topic . Every sentence is related to              the main idea . A paragraph that expresses a writer’s thoughts or feelings is an opinion paragraph . Its main idea is the writer’s opinion . Supporting sentences usually follow the opinion statement       in an opinion paragraph . They support the opinion with reasons , answering the questions “ Why ?” about the writer’s opinion . The reasons in turn are supported by details such as facts and         examples .

Ordering Details : Reasons in an opinion paragraph are usually arranged from  most important to least important or from least important to most important . Transitional words and phrases such      as   “ first of all , moreover , furthermore , for example , finally and most important connect the supporting details .

The Concluding Sentences : It can restate the writer’s opinion in a new and interesting way or          make  a final comment or observation .

 To write a descriptive paragraph you should :

1-] decide what mood you want to create in the paragraph . 2-] write a strong topic sentence . 3-] orient the reader by presenting details in a logical order . 4-] select precise transition words .

To write an effective dialogue you should :

1-] let the characters speak for themselves 2-] use dialogue for a purpose

 3-] use language that sounds real and appropriate to the character 4-] use quotation marks appropriately .

Kinds of Writing :

1-] An article or an essay 2-] A short story 3-] A letter- personal [ friendly ] , business , application . 4-] An e-mail 5-] A memo.

What is mentioned before is necessary for the process of writing as a whole in all its kinds , but       every kind has some particular characteristics . So light will be shed again on some points of some kinds of writing .
