Writing task 2, lesson 3: Main paragraphs



In the video lesson I explained how to write two types of main body paragraph. This
worksheet will focus on linking words and topic vocabulary.



1. Linking words

Here are the two paragraphs from the video lesson:


There are several reasons why I would argue against having compulsory community
service for secondary school students. Firstly, the school curriculum is already full with
important academic subjects, such as maths, science and languages. For example, I
remember having an extremely busy timetable when I was at high school, and it would not
have been possible to add to it. Secondly, students’ performance in other subjects would
be affected if valuable study time were taken by charity work or neighbourhood
improvement schemes. Finally, I believe that teenage students would be reluctant to take
part in any programme of obligatory work, and this could lead to poor motivation and even
bad behaviour.

On the other hand, the opportunity to do voluntary community service could be extremely
positive for high school students. By making these programmes optional, schools would
ensure that only motivated students took part. These young people would gain valuable
experience in an adult working environment, which could help to build their self confidence
and enhance their skills. Having such experience and skills on their CVs could greatly
improve school leavers’ career prospects. For example, a period of voluntary work
experience might impress a university admissions officer or a future employer.



Notes:

- Linking words do not help you to get a higher vocabulary score, but they do help your
‘coherence and cohesion’ score (organisation).
- You won’t improve your score by using ‘difficult’ linking words. It isn’t more difficult to use
“first and foremost” instead of “firstly”.
- If both main paragraphs contain three ideas, try not to use “firstly, secondly, finally” twice.
In the first paragraph above, we could change “Firstly” to “One reason is that...” and we
could change “Secondly” to “Furthermore”.
- The words highlighted in blue all act as ‘linking words’ to connect ideas in different
sentences, and to hold the paragraphs together.
- The words highlighted in red are examples of paraphrasing. The theme of ‘students’ is
expressed in a variety of ways, and this also helps to link the ideas and hold the
paragraphs together.
