Paragraph :

In writing essay, we use thesis statement as the introduction, but we could include a brief
introduction followed by a thesis statement. On the contrary, for the less formal paper we can use
anecdote, personal narrative, description, and example. And after that, in writing the body of the
paper, there have several steps. First of all, we write an outlining after writing the thesis statement.
Furthermore, we can list the supporting evidence for main point in order to organize our information.
Second, ask ourselves the questions about the items we have included just now. The last, if we have
sufficient evidence, provided enough detail in each example, we can convert them into paragraph.

Furthermore, we must remember that each paragraph should contain only one main idea and
the evidence to support that idea. The other way, the end of each paragraph should contain a
transition that leads the reader easily to understand the topic of the next paragraph. And after that,
the most common ways we use to write a conclusion is to return to the ideas or points made in the
thesis statement. The thing we have to remember is do not repeat all of our thesis statement, but we
may draw a conclusion from the evidence we have presented to representative our main idea in thesis
statement. In short, be careful and remember that not to simply repeat our thesis statement and do
the great step will guide us be able to make the effective writing.
