1)What Is A Paragraph?
A paragraph is a group of related sentences developing one central idea. It is a unit in itself and is also part of the essay.
2) The Basic characteristics:
A. Unity, which means you discuss one single idea in a paragraph. The mian idea is stated in the topic sentence and then all supporting sentences in the paragraph develop that idea.
B. Coherenence, which means your paragraph is easy to read and understand, because A) your supporting sentences are logically ordered and B)your ideas are connected by transition words and phrases. These words create bridges from one sentence to the next.
C. Completeness, which means your paragraph should be a well developed one. If all sentences clearly and sufficiently support the main idea, then your paragraph is complete. Otherwise, the paragraph is incomplete.
3)Main Components:
A. Topic Sentence: states main idea of the paragraph
It helps the writer focus on the main idea and also helps the reader know about what the paragraph is all about. It is normally the first sentence of the paragraph.
B. Supporting Details: develop the topic sentence
They give more information about the main idea through examples or details. They should be strong convincing points on which the topic sentence can rely upon.
C. Concluding sentence: signals the end of a paragraph and leaves the reader with important points to remember
In summary, a well-written paragraph should be of unity, coherence and completeness. It should contain three types of sentences: topic sentence, supporting sentences and concluding sentence.
4.)The Process of Writing A Paragraph
A. Compose your topic sentence. Think of a topic and a controlling idea that will narrow the topic enough to support it well in one paragraph.
B. Brainstorm supporting ideas. Choose 2 - 6 supporting ideas that do a good job supporting your topic sentence.
C. Put your supporting ideas in a logical order. D. Think of a concluding sentence.
E. write your paragraph and use the coherence strategies to make your

paragraph easy to follow.
An Example:
Topic sentence: Traveling is a beneficial experience for us. Supporting ideas:
1) relieve pressure
2) broaden horizon 3) make friends
Concluding sentence: Traveling can do us a lot of good. Sample paragraph
Traveling is a beneficial experience for us. First of all, it helps people relieve pressures and enjoy the beauty of nature. Second, it can enrich our knowledge and experiences of the world and broaden our horizon. In addition, it makes it possible for us to make friends with people in different areas. To sum up, traveling can do us a lot of good. The Topic Sentence
To write a paragraph, you first need to decide on your purpose. You need to decide in advance what idea you are trying to communicate in your paragraph. Once you are sure of your idea, the next step to be taken is to make your idea clear to your reader. You can do this by starting your idea in a topic sentence.
When writing a topic sentence, you must hear three points in mind:
1）The topic sentence must be a complete sentence, e. g. The process of learning is essential to our lives.
The British attitude towards food is very different from the attitude in my own country.
My grandfather was very easy to get on with.
2）The topic sentence is made up of two parts, the topic and the controlling idea, i. e.
Topic Sentence = Topic + Controlling idea e.g. Convenience foods are easy to prepare.
topic controlling idea
Alcoholic beverages should he banned from college students, for two reasons. topic controlling idea controlling idea controlling idea 3）The topic sentence should be neither too general nor too specific, e.g. American food is terrible. (too general)
American food is tasteless and greasy because Americans use too many canned, frozen, and packaged foods and because is fried in oil or butter. (too specific) American fond is tasteless and greasy. (suitable)
