WRITING A GOOD PARAGRAPH

Knowing how to write a good paragraph is essential for every student. In this blog post, I want to give you useful guidelines on how to write a good paragraph. I will section the text into three parts: beginning, main part and ending. 

Beginning 

First and foremost it is fundamental that you brainstorm. You may think that brainstorming is a waste of time, but trust me, it is not. Brainstorming gives your text more structure. Furthermore, you will have a clue what you are writing about when you start your text. Secondly, if the topic sentence is given, do NOT write another one. There is only one topic sentence in a paragraph. Focus on getting started right away, instead. 

Main part

Brainstorming

For the main part, it is important that you say something concrete. I know how hard it is to stay focused and write meaningful sentences, but in order to produce a coherent paragraph, you have to concentrate. Learn to distinguish between important and unimportant sentences. If you do not need the sentence to explain what you are talking about, then do not write it. Also, try to include at least one word from the topic sentence. By doing this, you will surely stay on topic. 

Ending

When writing the concluding sentence, check the topic sentence once again. Did you stay everything you wanted to say? Did you stay on topic? Assuming that you agree with this questions, concentrate on the concluding sentence. Do not write new information, as nobody wants to discover something new at the end of a paragraph. Include some aspects of the topic sentence in the concluding sentence by using synonyms. Lastly, check your grammar, spelling and the function of linking words.

FUERTEVENTURA

Club Magic Life Imperial

The most wondrous place I have ever been to is Fuerteventura. I spent one week in Esquinzo at the Club Magic Life Imperial with my family. The hotel is situated on a cliff with a breathtaking view over the turquoise ocean. For me, it looked like the Caribbean. When I was standing on the edge of the cliff, the salty wind blowing through my hair, looking at the uncontrollable ocean in front of me, I felt pure freedom and contentedness. Throughout my stay in Esquinzo, I spent the majority of the time lying on the beach, enjoying the warm sun on my skin and listening to the waves. Frequently I took walks and fed squirrels on the beach. When I held a bag of peanuts in my hand, I quickly found myself surrounded by an army of squirrels begging me to feed them. Feeding squirrels was one of the most fascinating experiences ever. One day I went surfing with a group of beginners. At first it was very difficult to swim  out into  the wavy ocean on the surfboard. But I felt full of excitement and energy while I was waiting for the perfect wave to ride. Then - finally - the moment came. I started paddling towards the shore, jumped on the surfboard as the wave came closer and rode the wave. It was unbelievable. I have never felt so much joy and freedom in my life before.
