 “THE IMPORTANCE OF BREAKFAST”
You may already know that it is important to have a
king-sized breakfast every morning. Do you know
P why? Your body is famished in the morning because
E you haven’t eaten for about 8–10 hours. Breakfast is
R therefore the first meal of the day, and hence, the most
S important one as well. Imagine driving a car without
U fuel; this is exactly how your body feels without the
A fuel provided by a nutritious breakfast. Many people
these days resort to skipping breakfast in a bid to lose
S weight. Nutritionists are appalled by this trend since it
I is mandatory to have breakfast within two hours of
V waking up. Depriving the body of energy can cause
E serious health problems in the long run. Forget silly
celebrities and their inane ways to lose weight. Never
ever miss breakfast!
 TRANSITION WORDS
 Transition words are phrases or words used
to combine one idea to the next.
 Transition words are used by the author to
help the reader progress from one significant
idea to the next.
 Transition words also show the relationship
within a paragraph (or within a sentence)
between the main idea and the supporting
details that the author gives for those ideas.
 TRANSITION WORDS
Example:
 Yesterday was a very perfect day. However,
for Sam, it is not.
 Junpel went to the Public Market and he
bought fish, vegetables, and fruits.
 Geneva’s friends ate various of viands on her
birthday such as Humba, Afritada, and Fried
Chicken.

TYPES OF PARAGRAPH DEVELOPMENT

 Descriptive Paragraph

 Narrative Paragraph

 Expository Paragraph

 Persuasive Paragraph
 DESCRIPTIVE
PARAGRAPH
Descriptive Paragraph is a type of
paragraph describes something and shows
the reader what a person, place, thing, or
event is like. The description for this
paragraph often appeals to the five senses.
These are what we know to be sense of
touch, smell, sight, sound, feel and taste.
 The lights grow brighter as the earth lurches
away from the sun, and now the orchestra is
playing yellow cocktail music, and the opera of
D
E
voices pitches a key higher. Laughter is easier
S minute by minute, spilled with prodigality, tipped
C out at a cheerful word. The groups change more
R swiftly, swell with new arrivals, dissolve and form
I in the same breath; already there are wanderers,
P confident girls who weave here and there among
T the stouter and more stable, become from a sharp,
I joyous moment the center of a group, and then,
V excited with triumph, glide on through the sea-
E change of faces and voices and color under the
constantly changing light.
 NARRATIVE
PARAGRAPH
Narrative Paragraph is a type of
paragraph presents a story. There is a
series of events that present a clear
beginning, middle and end. Narrative
paragraphs are often sharing an experience
or an event. In this manner, they share few
properties of process and descriptive
patterns of paragraph development.
 It's been almost ten years since I first ran for
political office. I was thirty-five at the time, four years
out of law school, recently married and generally
impatient with life. A seat in the legislature had
N opened up and several friends suggested that I run,
A thinking that my work as a civil rights lawyer and
R contacts from my days as a community organizer,
R would make me a viable candidate. After discussing it
A with my wife, I entered the race and proceeded to do
T what every first-time candidate does: I talked to
I anyone who would listen. I went to block club
V meetings and church socials, beauty shops and
E barbershops. If two guys were standing on a corner, I
would cross the street to hand them campaign
literature. And everywhere I went, I'd get some
version of the same two questions.
 EXPOSITORY
PARAGRAPH

The expository type of paragraph aims

to provide instruction and explain. It
could also be a description of a process
and proceed to guide the reader through a
step by step method.
 All toilet flush tanks work about the same.
When the toilet is flushed, the trip handle lifts
the tank ball, opening the outlet and letting
E water flow into the bowl. When the tank is
X nearly empty, the ball falls back in place over
P the outlet. The float falls with the water level,
O
opening the water-supply inlet valve just as the
S
I outlet is being closed and the tank is refilled
T through the filler tube. Water also flows
O through the bowl refill tube into the overflow
R pipe to replenish trap-sealing water. As the
Y water level in the tank nears the top of the
overflow pipe, the float closes the inlet valve,
completing the cycle.
 PERSUASIVE
PARAGRAPH

This type of paragraph development has its

goal to convince the reader to accept a
presented point of view of the writer's
position. This type of paragraph is useful
forming an argument. A persuasive paragraph
relies on logic, emotional appeal and facts.
 Immigration contributes to the overall health of the
American economy. This country has largely
benefited from the skills, talents and ambition that
P immigrants bring with them. American businesses
E gain from a good source of affordable labor, while
R town and cities are revitalized by immigrant families
S who strengthen communities through civic
U participation the generation of new economic activity.
A The United States must continue to welcome new
S arrivals and help those who are already here;
I otherwise, the country will lose the advantages it has
V over other industrialized countries who compete
E against us in the global marketplace and seek to
recruit from a vast pool of unskilled and skilled global
workers.
