I. General Understanding of Writing Skills

Using a clear structure for your paragraphs helps guide the reader through your written work. Paragraph
Structure. A useful way of understanding paragraph structure is to think of it as a block that is divided into
three sections: the beginning,the middle, and the end.
1. What is paragraph structure?
Definition. A paragraph is a group of related sentences that support one main idea. In general, paragraphs
consist of three parts: the topic sentence, body sentences, and the concluding or the bridge sentence to the
next paragraph or section

As we have discovered, the paragraph is used within a larger body of writing to separate ideas and themes,
but there are many ways in which the paragraph functions. Let’s take a look at some of the things that a
paragraph does and the rules that need to be followed when writing one.

2. How to write a good paragraph?

• Make the first sentence of your topic sentence. The first line of your first paragraph sets up what information
is to come as your audience reads on.
• Provide support via the middle sentences. These sentences include follow-up information to your key
sentence or previous paragraph.
• Make your last sentence a conclusion or transition. Even if it’s not at the end of the piece, a conclusive
sentence can refer to the last line of its own paragraph, which concludes a particular idea or train of thought
before moving on to start a new line for the next paragraph.
• Know when to start a new paragraph. A paragraph break is necessary when starting a new topic, introducing
a new speaker, contrasting others POVs or ideas, or providing white space to give readers a pause from a
longer paragraph.
• Use transition words. Transition words help tie together separate paragraphs, connecting them to form a
coherent idea. Phrases like “in addition” or “moreover” can help readers track your ideas and understand how
they relate to each other, making for a smoother, more pleasant reading
experience.

3. How to improve your writing skill

Many people underestimate the importance of having excellent writing skills. Read on to learn more about
how you facilitate the improvement of what is arguably one of the most indispensable skills to have; written
communication!

Believe it or not, writing, apart from the spoken word, is one of the world’s oldest forms of communication
that still exists today. Think about it; while we may no longer invest time in sending letters to one another,
our daily communication is always accompanied by some form of writing, be it in text messages, daily emails,
or posts you make on your social media accounts.

In the university space, academic writing is a whole other ball game and often takes on a very different form
to other types of writing out there, but the simple fact is that you cannot achieve a high level of college writing
if you don’t know how to improve your basic writing skills!

Cuneiform-writing
One of the earliest known examples of writing dates back to 3500-3000 BCE, to the ancient Sumerians of
Mesopotamia. This form of writing is known now as “Cuneiform”, which involved the engraving of various
pictorial figures into stone as a means by which to communicate with others, record numbers, among other
functions.

Even if your chosen career path doesn’t necessarily involve writing as a form of income, being able to
communicate effectively is incredibly important to ensure success in today’s competitive international job
market. Think about email-writing; it hardly looks professional if you send an email to your boss or colleague
that isn’t well thought-out and contains many errors.
Here are 6 simple tips to improve your writing skills!

Daily-Writing
1. Make Writing a Daily Exercise

Practice really does make perfect! If you compare writing to a skill like cooking, or even playing a sport, you
cannot expect to improve if you don’t practice – it’s like expecting to become a pro football player after one
practice with your team.

Try to set yourself daily writing exercises – they need not be long-winded and time-consuming, even just
committing yourself to writing a paragraph a day is enough! You can even partner up with someone else who
also wants to improve their writing skills and read each other’s paragraphs to see where changes need to be
made.
2. Read, Read, and Read Some More!

We learn best by example, and gaining writing skills is no exception to this rule. When we read, we learn how
other people write to convey their messages in the best way possible, and we start to adapt our writing styles
to those that we resonate most with.

Incorporate daily reading into your writing exercises; maybe even make your practice paragraph a review or
summary of what you read that day, taking different elements of the author’s writing style to develop your
own voice.
3. Be Succinct

Try not to use any complicated, long words in your writing. They often confuse the reader and make them
disinterested in what you have to say. Keep your sentences short. Never over-use filler words like “very”,
“really”, “just”, etc.

They tend to make sentences long and unnecessarily take up your reader’s cognitive space.
4. Never Underestimate the Importance of a Thorough Editing Session

Editing is a part of the writing process that is completely underrated and that is frequently overlooked. Errors
in your writing are likely to take attention away from the message you are trying to convey and decrease your
reader’s trust in your viability as a writer.

The human brain often overlooks certain small errors during the proofreading process, so using an online
editing tool, like Grammarly, comes highly recommended.

5. Develop a Clear Message

There is nothing more frustrating than a piece of writing that doesn’t get straight to the point. Think about
what you want to say, what message you want your reader to take away with them, and make sure that that
you make this message clear from the very beginning.

It is also important to think about your audience; what do they want to hear, and how would they like it to be
conveyed? Do you need to take on a formal, or a more informal tone? Would using humour help develop your
message, or should you get straight to the point in a more businesslike fashion?

These are important considerations that need to be taken into account before you even begin the writing
process.
6. Sit Down and Write!

Sometimes the most difficult step in the writing process is the act of actually sitting down and getting the
writing done. By this point, you should have a clear plan of what you want to say, and a general idea of how
you want to say it.

It may seem daunting, but remember that the hard work is now done! All you need to do is convince yourself
that you are capable (which you are), sit down in front of your n0tebook or computer, and execute your
communication!

4. Why is writing skill is important to students?

Because, Writing as a skill itself, offers the students the opportunity to simultaneously catch on to many other
vital facilities that can help them succeed in their academics,career, and also in other relevant aspects of their
lives.

5. What are the defernites in learning writing skill?

• poor vocabulary.
• awkward phrasing and unconventional grammar.
• inappropriate use of colloquial language.
• difficulty with sentence structure and word order.
• trouble reading back what is written.
• difficulty with word sounds, spelling, and meaning

II. Cause and affect paragraph

1. What is cause and affect paragraph?

• The cause and effect paragraph is a form of argumentative paragraph that details the effect relationships
between two subjects. In standard cause-and-effect essay writing and academic papers, the author shows how
one person, thing, idea, or event directly influences another person, thing, idea, or event.
2. How to write cause and affect paragraph
• cause-effect paragraph explains the causes and effects of a certain event, condition, or occurrence.
The topic sentence introduces a cause-effect connection. The body sentences give examples of specific causes or
effects. The ending sentence sums up the cause-effect relationship.
Brainstorm Topics
Step 1: Come up with ideas. Get started brainstorming topics right away—the objective of brainstorming is to
generate as many ideas as possible before writing. Brainstorming helps you think creatively about a cause and
effect topic in order to come up with something that you truly want to write about. Don't get caught writing about
a topic that doesn't interest you because you didn't take the time to brainstorm.
When brainstorming for cause and effect essays specifically, be sure to think of both reasons and results. Follow
each idea from its cause to its effect to make sure that your arguments are well-founded so that you don't waste
time on ideas that won't go anywhere.
Write an Outline
5
Subject Writing Skill Semester 1
BELTEI INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY FACULTY OF INTENSIVE COURSE

Step 2: Create an outline. An outline provides a map for your writing and you should never try to write an essay
without one. Some teachers even require you to write an outline before you are allowed to start an introductory or
body paragraph because they improve the quality of writing so significantly.
Use ideas from your brainstorming session to "jot down", or quickly write, ideas for how your whole essay might
progress (these do not have to be in complete sentences). An outline makes organizing much easier but does not
have to be rigid—feel free to make changes as needed. See the following cause and effect essay outline example
for help.
Cause and Effect Language
Step 3: Choose the right language. Now you can write a great cause and effect essay using your outline. There
are several language formulas that can effectively show cause and effect relationships, so take the time to choose
the best ones for your piece. As always, vary your sentence structures (https://www.thoughtco.com/complex-
sentence-worksheet-1210448) for a smoother read and use plenty of evidence to write a convincing essay, then
try some of these phrases to take your cause and effect arguments to the next level.
3. The example of cause and affect paragraph
