Warming up Task 3

1.1  What are the main points?

1.2 What information can be left out?

1.3 When was the last time you made a summary?

1.4 In what other situations can summaries be useful?

What is the most important thing to think of when writing in English?

What is a paragraph?

1. at least three sentences
2. the middle part of a text
3. a group of sentences with the same idea

Why would you write in paragraphs?

Most texts - for example, letters, reports or stories - need an introduction, a middle and an end.

Text in one long run can put the reader off and is difficult to read.

So it’s best to split it up into

paragraphs.

Many texts need an introduction, some middle paragraphs, and a .....

1. question
2. conclusion
3. summary

How many sentences are there in a paragraph?

1. Just 1
2. At least 2
3. At least 3
4. Answers A, B and C are all possible

What does putting your writing in paragraphs help you to do?

1. Write less
2. Write longer sentences
3. Organise what you want to say

What does a paragraph NOT help you to do?

1. Separate out your ideas
2. Make your writing clearer
3. Make your writing more funny

Will I need to use headings in formal writing?
