    How to Write a Paragraph

 

There is one reason for writing paragraphs – the material is easier to read and understand.

 

What is a paragraph?

 

A paragraph is a group of sentences related to a single idea.

 

Here is a paragraph.

 

There are many physical hazards in the workplace. These can have a detrimental effect on the productivity of staff. Employers should ensure the occupational health and safety of staff by providing a safe work environment. This includes levels of noise, vibration, air quality, office décor, workplace conditions, lighting, office furniture and equipment.

 

 

Structure of a Paragraph

Remember: All the sentences revolve around one idea

 

• A topic sentence introduces the main idea of the paragraph.

 

• Supporting sentences expands and provides factual information about the main idea.

 

• Concluding sentence provides a summary of the main idea.

After you have written a paragraph, check that you have

·       A topic sentence

·       Supporting sentences – do they relate to the topic sentence?

·       A concluding sentence
