2. GRAPHIC REPRESENTATION / KIND OF PARAGRAPHS
The graphic representation or graphic organization is a useful tool for organizing ideas before, during
and after reading, for being visual representations. The graphs quickly show the main parts of a text and its
relationships, so the reader can understand and interpret the text in a better way. This activity as a reading
comprehension technique allows:
1. Identify the topic of the text (central idea)
2. Carry the sequence of ideas that appear as secondary ideas that support the main idea.
3. Understand information in an organized way
4. Identify the type of paragraph, or the rhetorical function of the paragraph.
So how can we achieve these competencies?
First, it is necessary to know that there are different types of paragraphs, and that their identification is the
starting point to identify the important aspects of it. Among them we have:

4. 1 SAMPLE ESSAY ABOUT YOUR ACADEMIC FIELD
Conflict within an organization is not always viewed as undesirable. In fact various managers have
widely divergent ideas on the value that conflict can have.
According to a traditional view of conflict, conflict is harmful to an organization. Managers with this
traditional view of conflict see it as their role in an organization to rid the organization of any possible sources
of conflict.
The interactionist view of conflict, on the other hand, holds that conflict can serve an important function in
an organization by reducing complacency among workers and causing positive changes to occur. Managers who
hold an interactionist view of conflict may actually take steps to stimulate conflict within the organization.
