English for Academic Writing 2 course

Paragraphs are one of the essential building blocks of academic writing.

They help to organize the ideas and arguments logically and coherently, making the paper easier to read and understand. A well-written paragraph has a clear topic sentence that introduces the central concept, supporting sentences that provide evidence and examples, and a concluding sentence that summarizes the key points.

This structure helps the reader follow the paper’s logic and understand the writer’s argument. Paragraphs also help to break up the text and make it more visually appealing. Effective paragraph writing is crucial for creating a solid and persuasive academic paper.
