1. You should have written an opening paragraph for one of the practice
assignments on pages 17 and 25 . Now write the first paragraph of the
body of the essay. Use a key sentence, then develop the point made
in that sentence in the following three sentences and then write a final
sentence to the paragraph that rounds the paragraph off.
2. Analyse some of the second or succeeding paragraphs you have
written in recent essay assignments and rewrite some of them
according to the structure we have outlined in this section. Having
done so, make a judgement whether or not they have been improved.
