rafo
• Read it, study it, understand it, use it.
Types of Paragraphs
• In this course we will practice how to write
different types of paragraphs:
• Argumentative (for reviews and points of view
based on what you think and feel)
• Contrast (for showing how ideas or contents
oppose each other).
• Cause and effect (for indicating what facts
result in others, or what is caused by others)
CONNECTORS OR LINKING WORDS
• Here we have some of the most important
CONNECTORS or LINKING WORDS and
expressions that will help you write your
paragraph coherently
•
CONTRAST
• -Although (aunque),
• Although the previous point is ….,
• Although this argument may be true, …..
• -However (sin embargo)
• -But (pero, si no)
• -Despite this fact, …. (a pesar de este hecho, ….)
• -On the other hand …. (por otro lado…)
NOTE
• Ojo cuando usen “On the other hand”, muchas personas lo
usan erroneamente para agregar informacion de la misma
clase. Este conector es para mostrar iformacion OPUESTA a
la previamente presentada.
• Ejemplo
• Incorrecto : Gloria es alta. Por otro lado, ella es rubia. ¨ Aqui
no hay oposición de ideas, por eso es incorrecto.
