Paragraph Ing

This document discusses the importance of using paragraphs in writing for Task 2. It recommends dividing writing into paragraphs separated by blank lines to make it easier for the examiner to read. Specific advice includes having an introductory paragraph, followed by paragraphs for each separate idea and supporting evidence, and a concluding paragraph. The document demonstrates how removing paragraphs turns writing into an unreadable "sea of text", and suggests aiming to have 3-4 paragraphs plus an introduction and conclusion for Task 2 writing.

This is a very easy thing to do but it can have an enormous effect on the clarity of your writing.

I have said this for Task 1 but for Task 2 it's is even more important. In Task 2 you will be writing more and it is therefore more important to divide your writing up into divisions to make it easier to read. Very often people use no paragraphing and the examiner is faced with a "sea" of writing with no breaks from start to finish. For me, the best writings are those where there are paragraphs separated by an empty line and also indented. In this way your ideas are separated clearly. It shows and gives organization to your writing and makes it more readable.

For Task 2, have a paragraph break after your introduction, and then for every differing section of your separate ideas with the supporting evidence. Then have a final paragraph for your conclusion. You should aim to have 3 or 4 paragraphs plus the introduction and conclusion.
Look at this section on paragraphing. It is divided into 5 separate paragraphs dividing the 5 different areas that I want to present to you, the reader. The 5 areas are:

Paragraph 1 Why paragraphing is important for Task 2. Paragraph 2 How to divide your paragraphing. Paragraph 3 Where your paragraph divisions should occur. Paragraph 4 The division of paragraphs in this section. Paragraph 5 Explaining the comparison with this section and the one below to show how paragraphing can work. Below I will repeat paragraphs 1 - 4 of this section on paragraphing but I am going to remove all the paragraphs and line breaks and make it a "sea of writing" as I said can happen above. I hope you feel that this section is easier to understand than the one below!! (By the way, I haven't used line breaks through this entire tutorial as there would be too many and it would be too confusing).
