Every supporting sentence should directly explain, refer back to, or build on the main idea.

Use the final sentence to refer back to the topic sentence and/or lead into the following paragraph.

Coherence can be achieved in several ways. First, using transitions helps connect ideas from one sentence to the next. For more on transitions, see Annex B. Second, ordering thoughts in numerical sequence helps to direct the reader from one point to the next. Third, structuring each paragraph according to one of the following patterns helps to organise sentences: general to particular; particular to general; whole to parts; question to answer; or effect to cause.

If the "promise" of the topic sentence is not fulfilled, or if the reader is left with questions after reading the paragraph, the paragraph has not been adequately developed. To ensure the paragraph is fully developed, make sure you use the relevant information from the question and the visual stimulus. Provide valid reasoning to convince the reader of your argument or personal opinion. Thereafter, amplify the point in the form of elaboration and/or examples (supporting details for the given information). ]]> 2021-04-28 00:40:15 UTC https://padlet.com/xmspadlet/tn1q5m301me078yr/wish/1466924512 Sample qn xmspadlet https://padlet.com/xmspadlet/tn1q5m301me078yr/wish/1466925944 In December, your school will be embarking on a one-day open-to-public fundraising project to help the underprivileged senior citizens from Hougang Constituency.

Has the writer justified his opinion adequately? How would you improve the paragraph, if necessary? xmspadlet https://padlet.com/xmspadlet/tn1q5m301me078yr/wish/1466933825 The first activity will be a Charity Bazaar held in school. Students can set up different kinds of booths for games, drinks, food, photo-taking and others.
