How To Write The Main Body Paragraphs
58

---

For the 3
rd
and 4
th
paragraphs, you will extend the main ideas
mentioned in paragraph 2. You need to add more details in the form of
exact figures and information to support the main ideas and trends
mentioned in your overview. Remember to compare and contrast as well.
When giving specific data, you have to include exact numbers/percentages
and include as many details as possible. Since the exact numbers might be
difficult to read in some cases, you can use words like 
around
, 
about,
and
approximately
.
Take a look at the following sample main body paragraphs. Pay
attention to how we’ve used the language in bold:
To begin
, in 2012, the Finance industry started at 6%, 
whereas
the
Automotive Industry 
accounted for
 4% of the total GDP. During the next
four years, the 
levels
for both categories 
remained relatively stable
at
around
6% and 8%, with the Finance sector 
remaining slightly higher
overall
, despite a small decrease between 2014 and 2016.
 
However
, a considerable change can be seen between the two
categories in the next four years of the given period. The income generated
from the Finance sector increased dramatically to 12% in 2018 and then
nearly 15% in 2020, 
while 
the Automotive Industry 
saw little change
,
increasing to only 8 %.
