Session #n71: MAIN BODY PARAGRAPHS in "For and Against Essays"
🔴 You should start each main body paragraph with a topic sentence which introduces or summarises the main topic of the paragraph. The topic sentence should be followed by supporting sentences which justify the argument presented in the topic sentence, by giving examples or reasons.
⚠️You should use linking words/phrases to present your justifications, such as:
first of all, what is more, for example, because, since, in particular, etc.
🔵 TECHNIQUES TO BEGIN OR END YOUR ESSAY
To attract the reader's interest and make the beginning or ending of your essay more effective, you can use some of the following writing techniques:
a) address the reader directly e.g. "If you take the time to train your dog, it will learn to obey you.
b) include a quotation (i.e.a sentence or phrase taken from a book, play, etc.) When we use a quotation, it is necessary to mention the name of the person who said/ wrote it. e.g. As George Orwell wrote, "All animals are
equal, but some are more equal than others."
c) include a rhetorical question e.g. Is it true that a dog is man's best friend?
⚠️ A rhetorical question is a question that you ask without expecting an answer. The question might be one that does not have an answer. It might also be one that has an obvious answer but you have asked the question to make a point, to persuade or for literary effect.
