    I live in a house in Izmit. It isn't old or modern. It's a normal Turkish house. A topic sentence is the main idea, your attitude, your evaluation of something. Having no topic sentence means you have no idea What you are writing about. Having no topic sentence also means you don't know What you are talking about.

    4/19/12

    ORGANIZATION OF THE PARAGRAPH A.Unity: It means that all the sentences refer to the main idea, or the topic of the paragraph.

    I live in a flat with my family. We have two bedrooms and a living room. We have a garden and we have some flowers there. In weekdays I arrive home at five o'clock and I have lunch. Then I do my homework and go to bed. I had a computer but now it doesn't work. I have a brother and a sister and I think I am very lucky to live with 4/19/12 them. Sometimes our relatives visit

    B. Coherence: It means that the sentences should be organized in a logical manner and should follow a definite plan of development. I live in a house in Izmit. It isn't old or

    modern. It's a normal Turkish house. We can say it is near the sea. It takes about 10 minutes to go to the sea side on foot. We have one bedroom, one living room. We also have two other rooms, too. We use them as a dining room. Naturally, we have a kitchen, a bathroom, and a toilet. I live with my parents. And our house 4/19/12

    C. Faulty Start: Here are some ways to bore your readers to death (!) when starting a paragraph/an essay: You can start with: 1. a nonsense sentence: e.g. I want to talk about X. 2. a clich: e.g. X plays a great role in 4/19/12 our lives.

    Here is an example: I want to talk about friendship. Friends can change your life. So, you must know who is a real friend. Firstly, your friend must understand you and of course, you must understand her, too. I think, another important point in a friendship is confidence. You mustn't tell lies to each other. In addition, you must say everything about yourself. I think 4/19/12 these are important for a friendship.

    D.Lack of Topic Sentence: Topic sentence is the main idea, your attitude, your evaluation of something. Having no topic sentence is bad both for the writer and the reader. First, the reader has to read the entire paragraph to get to the point. Here, the example is one paragraph long. What if the example was a paper of 2-3 pages? This is one side. Lack of a 4/19/12 topic sentence also causes the writer

    Try to write only a topic sentence for this paragraph. I hate lie. I always try not to tell lies and I want that from my friends, too. I think it is the most important behavior. I can believe everything my friends say. In addition, a good friend must say his ideas to me firstly. I mean, he shouldn't talk about me with other people. Especially about the bad thing, 4/19/12

    E. Development of the ideas: It means that every idea discussed in the paragraph should be adequately explained and supported through evidence and examples. We generally believe that people would easily understand us when we write. Unfortunately, our use of language may not be perfect and our ideas may be different. If we want our 4/19/12

    First of all, a friend mustn't tell lie. He must always tell me the truth and he must be honest because if there is honesty between two friends, their relationship will last until death. In addition to honesty, helping or being near a friend on a bad day is very important. Another point to consider is that he must criticize me if I make a mistake.
    4/19/12

    There are three qualities that I need to see in a good friend. First, a good friend shouldn't tell lies. I need to trust him so that I can talk to him. Second, a good friend should be there when I needed him. I should be able to find him near me when I am in a bad mood or when I have a problem. Finally, whennecessary, he should criticize me so that I can change my undesirable behaviour or 4/19/12 where I am wrong. I think, these see
