Text organisation

1 introduction

This is the first part of a text. The introduction tells you what the text will be about. This helps you to decide if you want to read the full text.

2 body

This is the main part of a text. The body contains information, ideas or arguments. This is usually the largest part of a text and can have several paragraphs.

3 conclusion

This is the final part that brings the text to a logical end. A conclusion can include different things, such as a summary, an opinion or a call for action.

You can use the first and last part of a text for clues about the body: what is this text about? Will it give me the information I need?

Sequence & Chronology

Text structure: sequence and chronology (volgorde van gebeurtenissen en tijd).

This structure is used to list events or steps:

- steps on how to do or make something

For example: first you do this, secondly you do that, and finally/lastly you ... (= sequence)

- by the order in which events happened in time

For example: in the morning this happened, then that happened, the next day something else happened (= chronology)

You can recognise a text structure by looking for signal words.

Signal words: ‘first(ly)’, ‘second(ly)’, ‘then’, ‘next’, ‘earlier’, ‘before’, ‘after’, ‘finally’, ‘last(ly)’.

Description

This structure is used to explain something: a subject, idea, person, place or thing. The writer often describes characteristics or features and gives examples.

 

Signal words: ‘as well as’, ‘also’, ‘for example’, ‘such as’, ‘for instance’.

Comparison and contrast

This structure is used to compare two or more items, people, events, ideas, et cetera. It tells you how these are similar to each other, or different from each other.

 

Signal words: ‘but’, ‘too’, ‘just like’, ‘however’, ‘similar’, ‘on the other hand’, ‘both’.
