Examples of a Well-Written Paragraph

 

Below are two examples of a well-written paragraph:

I like to eat healthy.

Charity for the poor works to the best interest of society.

 

 

 

the main topic sentence

This paragraph is well written because it explains the main topic sentence with supporting sentences. The supporting sentences answer the questions of "WHICH or WHAT", "HOW or WHY". "What foods are nutritious?", "How are those foods nutritious?"

 

 

I like to eat healthy. Nutritious diet rich in protein, fiber and vitamins helps to keep my body and mind in good health. I eat fish, vegetables, fruits, and multi-grain breads. Fish contains good fats; vegetables contain rich sources of vitamins such as A, C, E, K, and essential anti-oxidants to protect cells from inflammation. Multi-grain breads contain B vitamins that help to balance the nervous system functions, keep the heart and arteries in good shape. I stay away from unhealthy foods: soda beverages, trans fats found in cakes, candy, snacks such as pretzels, cookies and potato chips. These foods, known as junk food, cause obesity, diabetes, heart diseases and colon cancer. In addition, these foods may also cause brain disorders and other serious ailments over time if consumed regularly.

 

 

the main topic sentence

This paragraph is well written because it explains the main topic sentence with supporting sentences. The supporting sentences answer the questions of HOW or WHY". "Why is charity for the poor works to the interest of society?", "How does charity for the poor work to the interest of society?"

Charity for the poor works to the interest of society. Charity helps poor people eat better, have a shelter and medicine so that they live better lives. Without charity the poor may not find basic resources to get by in life. As a consequence of being left alone with their misfortune--hungry, ill and homeless--poor people may contract diseases, die early, and engage in crimes. Most likely, they become bad role models for their children, too. These end-results harm a society.

 

The main topic sentence, "Charity for the poor works to the interest of society." states the author's opinion of charity, which some people may agree or disagree with. Again, if you made this main topic sentence, you must already have your supporting reasons why you think charity for the poor works to the interest of society. Again, your task is to answer these questions: "How does charity work to the interest of society?" "Why does charity for the poor work to the interest of society?" If you are not sure what the main topic sentence is, see main topic sentence first and then come back to this page.
