Step 2 The elements of a paragraph
Topic sentence
Supporting sentences
Concluding sentence
【设计说明】在导入部分练习的基础上，让学生自然认识段落的三大组成部分。

Step 3 Introduction to the three parts
Topic sentence:
1. Each paragraph should have a point. The topic sentence clearly states what
information the paragraph will give.
2. The topic sentence is usually the first sentence of a paragraph.
(e. g. Young adults give many reasons for moving to cities. Today, I would like
to tell you different ways to study English.)
Notes:
1. Not all paragraphs have a topic sentence. Sometimes, a paragraph continues a topic introduced in the previous paragraph.
2. In the first paragraph of an essay, a story or an article, the topic sentence may follow a hook.
(e.g. Older Americans are on the move. The questions, is, though, why are so many
people retiring and spending their pensions in Florida?)
Supporting sentences:
1. follow the topic sentence
help explain or prove the topic sentence
2. We use transitions to link each sentences to the previous or following ones.
(1. for example, for instance 2. furthermore, also
3. first(ly), second(ly), third(ly)
4.on the other hand, however ) Concluding sentence:
1. appear at the end of a paragraph
2. repeat the topic in a new way
3. express a final idea about the topic or to help introduce the topic of the next paragraph
(e.g. Across the USA, people are noticing the same thing: young people want to live
in cities.)
