the store.

23. The idea of hooks is that the first sentence of the
new paragraph will briefly remind the reader
(through the use of that keyword) of the topic that
has just been covered, while introducing the new
idea to be covered in the new paragraph,
and showing the connection between
the two.
24. Every good student knows that doing homework on time is
essential to success at school. Failure to complete homework
always leads to academic problems. On the other hand, those
students who put in the time to finish all homework
assignments learn more about the subject while gaining
valuable practice that will help them on exams.
Still, good homework habits alone are not enough to
guarantee success in school. Students also need to pay
attention and be actively involved in the classroom...
In this example, the phrase "good homework habits" early in
paragraph 2 creates the hook. It shows the reader that the
next topic coming up, paying attention in class, is related to
the previous topic, homework.)
25. Mark Twain is established in the minds of most Americans as
a kindle humorist, a gentile and delightful “funny man.” No
doubt his photographs have helped promote this image.
Everybody is familiar with the Twain face. He looks like every
child’s ideal grandfather, a dear old gentleman who
embodies the very spirit of loving-kindness.
Such a view of Twain would probably have been a source of
amusement to the writer himself. For Twain wrote some of
the most savage satire . . .
Mark Twain is . . . the very spirit of loving-kindness.
Any resemblance between this popular portrait and the man
who reveals himself in his writing is purely imaginary. For
Twain wrote some of the most savage satire…
