A brief explanation of paragraph writing.
Definition: A paragraph can be a collection of sentences talking about one title. So, it is the
combination of related sentences that will talk about one specific title. A paragraph generally
contains many sentences that have a relation with each other, and they provide specific
details, examples, or evidence of the main idea. Throughout paragraph writing, we need to
clarify and organize information into clear, concise units of thought. A strong and effective
paragraph must be having coherence, unity, and the development of the main idea, and it
must convey the required meaning and should be readable and accessible to the reader.
Note: In the above definition I have mentioned the related sentences which means all the
sentences which come in a paragraph should have connections with each other. They are
needed to support each other.

1. Clarity and Coherence: A good and well-organized paragraph helps to make the
written content clear and easy to understand. The structure of a well-written
paragraph makes it easier for readers to gain ideas and identify the main point of
the writing. Sentences must be connected with each other.
2. Improved readability: The sentences must be readable and meaningful. By following
punctuations and transitional words. Writers can help readers to process ideas

easy for readers.

Characteristics of a good paragraph.
It is really an important factor in a good and well-organized paragraph. It has many key
characteristics that make it effective and easy to understand. The following are the key
factors to good paragraph writing.
● Coherence.
● Unity.
● Development.
● Appropriate Length.
● Clear topic sentence.
● Consistency Style.
1. Coherence: All the sentences in a paragraph are logically connected and supportive
of each other. They are connected to one another concerning the main topic.
2. Unity: The sentences of a good paragraph must be giving clear meaning, and
should be supportive of the main topic sentence.
3. Development: It tells us about the details, examples, or evidence of the main idea.
All the ideas should be convincing and informative in addition. To the points.
4. Appropriate Length: the length of a good paragraph mostly should be long enough.
It must exceed the limit which convinces the reader, but not be too long which
makes the reader bored.
5. Clear Topic Sentence: Topic sentence plays a really important role. It should be
clear and brief and state the main idea. It usually gives the limit to the writer, and
works like a roadmap for the whole paragraph.
6. Consistent Style: a consistent style makes the paragraph perfect, indeed, it takes
the intention of the reader.
By following these characteristics, writers can make a perfect, clear, and effective paragraph.
Types of paragraphs
There are mainly 5 types of paragraphs that are listed. These are the kinds of essays too, but
paragraphs can also have these kinds.
1. Narrative
2. Descriptive
3. Expository
4. Persuasive
5. Compare and Contrast.
1. Narrative: A narrative paragraph tells the sequence of events, characters, settings,
and plots. We generally try to entertain, communicate, or inform a personal
experience. In this writing, the writer uses dialogue, descriptive language, and other
literary elements to create a vivid and engaging story.
2. Descriptive: In this piece of writing the writer focuses on describing a person, place,
object, or event. It is all about showing clear and sensory experience.
3. Expository: An expository paragraph is used to explain, or describe a subject or
concept to the readers. The writer tries to share the idea briefly and clearly.
4. Persuasive paragraph: It is a kind of paragraph that persuade the reader to accept
the point of view. Mainly the writer tries to convince the reader to accept or believe
the argument.
5. Compare and contrast Paragraph: when two or more objects, ideas, or concepts are
compared to one another. The aim of compare and contrast paragraph is to
demonstrate the similarities and differences between objects and ideas.
Parts of the paragraph:
A paragraph has three important parts:
1) Topic Sentence 2) Controlling Idea 3) Supporting ideas
A sentence that
defines the whole
paragraph.
Any idea which gives us
a limit or boundary
All the examples which support the
controlling idea are called supporting
ideas.
1) Topic sentence
Definition: The first sentence of a Paragraph that begins the paragraph is called the topic
sentence. A topic sentence introduces the whole paragraph. When a reader reads the first
sentence will understand the whole paragraph. So writing the topic sentence is really tricky.
A good topic sentence should be brief, clear, and vast (discussable). In additions. It must
convey the main idea of the paragraph. Tips to write a good and perfect topic sentence.
1. Relevance. It should be relevant to the main questions.
2. Specific. It must specify the main idea clearly.
3. Consistency. The topic sentence is required to be consistent with the rest of the
paragraph (supporting ideas and examples).
4. Clarity and Brevity: it is really important to write a clear and brief topic sentence.
The sentence should be simple (easy to read) and to the point.
2) Controlling idea:
An idea that gives a limit and boundary to the writer is called a controlling idea. It generally
appears in the topic sentences. For example The major problem a working mother faces
concerns her children. This topic sentence talks about the problem of working mothers that a
working mother faces many problems. The writer has made it more clear by defining the
controlling idea. It means one problem. Which is related to her children’s concerns her
children.
3) supporting Ideas:
All the examples which define the controlling idea are called supporting ideas. Supporting
ideas form the body of the paragraph and provide evidence, details, examples, or
explanations. Which should be related to each other purposely. All the supporting ideas
should define the controlling idea. We should not write irrelevant sentences.
How to write an academic paragraph? Tips for effective Paragraph writing.
Writing an academic paragraph is very easy and simple all we need to do is to follow the
following rules which I have explained below.
● The topic sentence should be clear and vast. It must state the main idea of the
paragraph and should define the whole paragraph.
● Develop the supporting ideas: The supporting ideas that appear after the topic
sentence should be developed thoroughly. These sentences must include relevant
evidence, examples, and details.
● Coherence and unity: All the sentences in the paragraph should be related to each
other and must support the controlling idea.
● Revise and edit: Do revise and edit your sentences that help the clarity, coherence,
and unity. Transitional words must be used which make the paragraph effective and
strong.
Sample of a paragraph
The major problem a working mother faces concerns her children. She must either
find a reliable person who will be loving toward the children or a
good day-care center where the children can go. If a child gets
sick, the mother must make special arrangements for the child to be
cared for at home, or she must stay home from work. While at work,
the mother may worry about her children. She may wonder if they are
safe, if they are learning the values she wants them to have, and
if her absence is hurting them emotionally. She may also regret not
being able to take them to after-school activities or participate
in family activities with them.
