paragraph(段落),Construction of a paragraphUsually a paragraph includes a topic sentence(主题句),one or several supporting sentences(论证句)and,sometimes,a concluding sentence(结论句).,Three Qualities of a Paragraph：Unity(一致性):An Paragraph follows a straight line of development;it states a single thought.All material not directly related to the rest of the paragraph should be left out.Continuity(连贯性):All sentences within a paragraph should be arranged logically and smoothly.An outline(提纲)will help you organize your ideas so that all important ideas are included and in logical order,and help you write more quickly.Transition Signals(转折词)are words to guide the reader and make it easy to follow the ideas.They also help the paragraph flow more smoothly.,Classes of Transition Signals,Example(举例):for example,for instance,as an illustration,to illustrate,namely,that is,for one thing.Addition(增补):in addition,furthermore,moreover,and,also,or,too,besides,again,whats more,likewise.Emphasis(强调):in fact,as a matter of fact,in other words,of course,certainly,above all,indeed,clearly,surely,in particular,obviously,naturally,anyway,in this case.,Classes of Transition Signals,Contrast(对照):while,whereas,in contrast,on the other hand,instead,on the contrary,inspite of,despite,but,however,although,still,yet,nevertheless,conversely,otherwise.Comparison(比较):similarly,in the same way,even though,at the same time,not onlybut also,likewise,meanwhile.Concession(让步):although,after all,it is true(that).Conclusion(结论):in conclusion,to conclude,to sum up,to summarize,in summary,in all,in short,in brief,in a word.,Classes of Transition Signals,Cause(原因):for this reason,because of this,because,since,as,for,due to,owing to,thanks to.Consequence(结果):thus,hence,therefore,accordingly,consequently,so,in this way,as a result.Order(次序):first,second,first of all,to begin with,at first,finally,eventually,in the end,immediately,soon,in

Remarks(结束语)If needed,illustrations(图示),tables(表格),appendix(附录),list of references(参考文献)and acknowledgment(致谢)may appear in a research paper.,The Introduction,An introduction serves four purposes:to give a general background of the topicto arouse the readers interestto focus on the topic or problem of the essayto indicate the overall plan of the essay This is accomplished by an introductory statement and a thesis statement.The introduction may be as short as one paragraph or as long as a chapter.,The Introductory Statement,It generally begins with a very general comment of the subject and gradually becomes more specific,thus leading to the thesis statement.Statistics,quotations,examples and questions are often used in this section to give background information and attract the readers attention.,The Thesis Statement,The thesis statement is a complete sentenceused to identify the topic and/or to express an opinion or an idea.The last sentence in the following example is the thesis statement.,The Body of the Paper,General The body of a research paper will be the longest part.It will consist of many paragraphs that develop and support the thesis statement.The text is not always written in the order it will appear.For example,many writers prefer to write the introduction last so as to be free to make changes in the body.Because many students find it most difficult to begin writing the paper,it may be best to start with a section that is easily written.,Transition When the separate sections of a paper have been written,transitions will be necessary to make the text flow smoothly.Between paragraphs,transitional sentences will be placed either at the end of the first or at the beginning of the next paragraph.Between sentences,transition words,repeated key words and other reference words will be used to create cohesion.,Quotations(引语),Providing reference citations and a bibliography allows the reader to:find the documents you have used,know that these ideas are not your own.Generally accepted facts need no reference.For example,you can state that Einstein developed the Theory of Relativity without quoting your source.But if you use a certain aspect of the theory to support your thesis,the source needs to be identified.,The Conclusions,In a long paper,this may consist of an entire chapter;in a shorter one,it will be one or two paragraphs long.The conclusion will include:a summary of the main points and/ora restatement of the thesis and final comments on the subject,possibly including suggestions for further research.,Assignment 2,Write a recipe regarding the cooking process of one of your favorite dishes.A typical online for a recipe can be 1)general introduction.2)Detailed process.,
