Essay: Use Paragraphs


Two words: Use Paragraphs! Students who don’t have paragraphs fail!
The body of the essay should ALWAYS be divided into paragraphs. Never write just one long paragraph. Why?
  • The white space makes your essay easier to read.
  • Having paragraphs shows that you have (probably) put related ideas together.
How many paragraphs in the body? Either two paragraph (3773) or three (35553).
When do I use 3773 or 35553 layouts?
When do I use two paragraphs or three paragraphs in the body? When do I use 3773 or 35553? It depends on your ideas.
  • Use TWO paragraphs (3773) if you are giving both sides of the argument or situation – one paragraph for, and one against (or the opposite).
  • Use THREE paragraphs if you are only giving one side.
So…

  • Use TWO paragraphs (3773) to agree in one paragraph and then disagree in the second paragraph.
  • Use TWO paragraphs (3773) to disagree in one paragraph and then agree in the second paragraph.
  • Use THREE paragraphs (35553) if you are agreeing in all three paragraphs.
  • Use THREE paragraphs (35553) if you are disagreeing in all three paragraphs.

  • Finally, even if you are completely confused and your ideas are all mixed up, you should still make a paragraph. Just skip a line somewhere. Your essay will be easier to read.

Advantages and disadvantages of non-verbal communication

There is a proverb “Actions speak louder than words.” In essence, this underscores the importance of non-verbal communication.

Format of a Formal Letter

Sender’s Address The sender’s address is usually put on the top corner of the page. The address should be complete and accurate in case the recipient of the letter wishes to get in touch with the sender for further  communication . Date The sender’s address is followed by the date just below it. This is the date on which the letter is being written. It is important in formal letters as they are often kept on record.
