3Step by step Steps
- Main idea plus detailsExample: Miss Wong's writing rule: think of the main idea first, then add details. A topic alone reads dry; details are what make a paragraph interesting. Plan both in your head before you write the first line.
- The topic sentenceExample: My favourite place is the park near my home. The first line names the place and points straight at the topic, so the reader knows at once what the paragraph is about. A topic sentence works like a lighthouse.
- Detail: how it looksExample: It is big and green. There are tall trees and a small pond. Describe the whole first (big, green), then the parts (trees, pond): from far to near, and the picture stands up.
- Detail: what you doExample: I ride my bicycle there every Saturday. Sometimes I play football. Words of frequency like every Saturday and sometimes make the activities feel real, and that is the heart of a good detail.
- One topic per paragraphExample: every sentence stays with the park; do not jump to school or your cat halfway. Want a new thing? Start a new paragraph. While checking, ask line by line: does this sentence serve the topic? Cut it if not.
- Format and checkExample: every sentence starts with a capital and ends with a full stop; when the paragraph is done, check spelling and grammar, and watch every is, are and verb s. Four sentences are quick to check, so take your time.
- Sentence practiceExample: start with My favourite place is ___ , add one sentence about looks, then one or two about activities, and the four lines make a small paragraph. Choose a place you know well, such as a library or a playground.
