PARAGRAPH UNITY AND COHERENCE Paragraphs should have both coherence and unity. A paragraph with unity develops a single idea thoroughly and links it to the rest of the paper. Paragraph coherence is achieved when sentences are ordered in a logical manner and when clear transitions link sentences. Paragraph unity: • Develop a paragraph around a major idea.           Express this idea in the topic sentence. • Make the relationship between the main idea     of the paragraph and the thesis of the paper     clear. Don’t assume that the reader will “get       it.” Spell it out for him/her. • Support the main idea of the paragraph with       details. • Create separate paragraphs for those details     that explore your topic from different                   perspectives. • Eliminate sentences that do not support th...

This English lesson is about how to use the modal verbs Must, Have, Should. It is important to know how to use these verbs correctly. This lesson will show you how.  We use must and have (to) fairly similarly. Should and must are also similar, so they can be a bit confusing for people learning English.  Should Look at this sentence: You look terrible. You should see a doctor.  In this sentence I think that it is a good idea for that person to see a doctor based on what I can see. I am giving them my advice.  We could also use ‘must‘ – ‘You must see a doctor’, but this would only be in an extreme case. It is a lot stronger to use ‘must’ here. If you thought the person’s life was in danger, then ‘must’ is the better option.  Another example:  You should live in an English-speaking country if you want to perfect your English.  Again, I am giving you my advice. I think that it is the best thing to do if you want to improve your English level....

What is a Descriptive Essay? The definition of a descriptive essay is a type of composition or paper which describes an object, person, process, or event. The writer’s goal is to create a vivid reading experience, or to show instead of tell (metaphorically). Descriptive writing usually appeals to the five senses: taste, touch, smell, hearing, and sight. (Ex: Jack’s coffee mug exploded into tiny shards of glass, catching the attention of everyone at the office.) Always appealing to the senses is key to writing a good descriptive essay. When writing a descriptive essay, your goal will be to paint a comprehensive picture for the reader by appealing to the five senses. Last but not least, your work should have a purpose. It could be anything from a lesson you learned from an experience, to a story of how an object impacted your life. It’s all about making your bright ideas come to life. • Descriptive Essay Topics & Ideas Finding descriptive essay topics isn’t hard. You can describe pre...
