How to Develop a Paragraph Basic Structure of a Typical Paragraph Topic sentence (one sentence only) ：highlight the central point of this paragraph, serve to support an argument. 中心句（只写一句）：突出段落的中心思想，用来支持一个论点。 Supporting sentences ：sentences for the extension, explanation and justification of the topic sentence ( 3 sentences if the main body is composed of 3 paragraphs, and 4 to 5 sentences if 2 paragraphs). 支持句：拓展、解释和论证中心句的句子（如果主题部分由三段组成，每段要写三句；如果主体部分由两段组成，每段要写四到五句）。 When you write an argument, you must try to convince your reader that your points are correct. To do so you must provde strong support for your arguments. Here are some ways of supporting an argument: 1) Supporting an argument by definition. 2) Supporting an argument by giving relevant and accurate reasons or facts as evidence. 3) Supporting an argument by giving examples. 4) Supporting an argument by giving a quotation. 5) Supporting by comparison and contrast. 6) Supporting by extension (延伸中心句) and explanation. 7) Supporitn by sorting (分类). Supporting by definition How to make a definition: Method 1: the genus / difference definition Example: An apple is a kind of fruit that is eatable. Fruit is the genus (i.e. a larger class) to which apples belong... that is eatable is the difference. Method 2: Definition by example An entrepreneur is someone like my friend Jack Kolln, who bought a rundown farm, planted four acres of grapes, taught himself wine-making, and built the first winery in central Pennsylvania. Supporting by Giving Examples Revolution which overthrow despotic 专制暴君的 government by violent means often end by establishing another kind of despotism. A good example is the French Revolution of 1798, which began as an expression of democratic will, and ended by establishing Napolean as Emperor of the French.
