Wri ng a Paragraph
We write a paragraph to focus on one specific idea. The paragraph gives the reader
a clear picture about the person, place, thing or idea we are writing about.
These are the parts of a paragraph:
1. The topic sentence introduces the main idea. It tells the reader what the
paragraph is going to be about.
2. The body is the main part of the paragraph. Here you tell the reader
about your topic by giving supporting details. The sentences in the body
should explain the topic more clearly with the help of details.
3. The closing sentence summarizes the main idea in an interesting way.
Example
It is interesting to compare birds and aeroplanes. Both birds and planes
have wings. Birds have two wings and feathers on their wings. Birds
flap their wings to fly. Most aeroplanes also have two wings. Unlike a
bird’s wings, an aeroplane’s wings do not flap. They are made of metal
and have no feathers on them. Birds are much smaller than planes.
Birds are living animals, but aeroplanes are machines. We can call
aeroplanes giant metallic birds.
