TIPS TO WRITE A PARAGRAPH

It might have become a common problem that we very often encounter. We are confused with how to develop a paragraph coherently with adequate supporting sentences.

A paragraph is considered good if it is unified and coherent. Unity means a paragraph has a topic sentence and supporting sentences. Coherence means the relationship among sentences in the paragraph runs smoothly.

Here are the tips to do so:
1.Start a paragraph with a good topic sentence, e.g.: ”We must take care of our city from being environmentally deteriorated”.

2.From the topic sentence we find that the point we must develop is “take care of our city from being environmentally deteriorated”. Next, we just ask ourselves by using 5 W and 1 H; “how” to do it (descriptive), “why” we do it (argumentative), “when” to do it (expository) etc.

3.Next, we develop it sentence by sentence.
You know what, once you're finished with a sentence, don't think too hard to write the next sentence. Just see the just finished one and find the key word (s). Develop the key word (s) to be the next sentence, and so on and so forth.
Here is the complete process: “We must take care of our city from being environmentally deteriorated. We can do it by reducing gas emission and dumping the garbage into the right place”. In that second sentence we find two points that we can develop to be the next sentences, they are: “by reducing gas emission” and “by dumping the garbage into the right place”.
Just see the two points and start explaining them. When the new sentence is already created, see it again and find the point and explain it in the next sentence. When the next new sentence is successfully created, see it again and find the point and explain it to be the next sentence. Do it just the same way until we think that the supporting sentences are already adequate in supporting the topic sentence.
The complete paragraph is almost done;
“We must take care of our city from being environmentally deteriorated. We can do it by reducing gas emission and dumping the garbage into the right place. Restricting the use of private cars is one of the ways to reduce gas emission. The restriction will be effective if government provides regulation of how to do it. Government can include in the regulation the assembling year of a car which is allowed to run. It is important to do so because the older the car, the more pollution it produces. By enforcing such a restriction, the gas emission can hopefully be reduced. Besides reducing gas emission, dumping the garbage into the right place is another important act to do. As we know that garbage is a complicated problem for a city. While the production of garbage takes place excessively due to the development of the city, the way out to dump it does not get enough care from all citizens. Some citizens still carelessly dump it in any place, in the street, into the river or in other water streams."

4.If we think that we have written adequate supporting sentences, we can close the paragraph with concluding sentence:“In short, since those two problems, gas emission and garbage, are the main factors that bring about the environmental deterioration of a city, we have to control them wisely for the sake of our city".
5.Read again your paragraph. Give final touch to it by editing and or inserting necessary transitional markers to make it more coherent.
