Another example 
Many people prefer to watch foreign films rather than locally produced 
films. Why could this be?
Should governments give more financial support to local film 
industries?
First main paragraph: Why could this be? 
1.
Topic sentence - several reasons 
2.
First reason - budgets for action, special effects, spectacular locations 
3.
Example - Hollywood blockbusters like Avatar or James Bond films 
4.
Second reason - the most famous actors, actresses and directors 
5.
Final reason - poor quality local filmmaking in many countries 
If you have a 5-idea plan, it should be relatively easy to write a paragraph. Just 
make each point in your plan into a sentence. 
Full paragraph with 5-sentences (one for each idea) 
There are several reasons why many people find foreign films more 
enjoyable than the films produced in their own countries. Firstly, the 
established film industries in certain countries have huge budgets for 
action, special effects and to shoot scenes in spectacular locations. 
Hollywood blockbusters like ‘Avatar’ or the James Bond films are 
examples of such productions, and their global appeal is undeniable. 
Another reason why these big-budget films are so successful is that they 
often star the most famous actors and actresses, and they are made by 
the most accomplished producers and directors. The poor quality, low-
budget filmmaking in many countries suffers in comparison.
