%*a!ple of )irstly, se&ondly, and thirdly paragraph

Three main factors are affecting health in modern societies. Lne problem is the lac" of a1areness among

man) people of the negative conse0uences of an unhealth) diet. This is made 1orse b) the prevalence of fast

food and processed food 1hich are full of fat salt and sugar. 'nother "e) factor is the changing trend in

lifest)les. Kor eample childrenJs hobbies no1 involve much less outdoor activit) and adults are less active as Zobs have shifted to1ards sedentar) office 1or" instead of manual labour. An addition to this time(saving

technologies such as cars elevators dish1ashers and 1ashing machines have made people laOier.

+dea, e*plain, e*a!ple !ethod

The &idea eplain eample& format is a good 1a) to organise )our main paragraphs. Start 1ith the main idea

of the paragraph eplain it in more detail then give an eample.

Some art projects definitely require help from the state. In the UK, there are many wors of art in public

spaces, such as streets or squares in city centres. In !i"erpool, for e#ample, there are se"eral new statues and

sculptures in the docs area of the city, which has been rede"eloped recently. $hese artwors represent

culture, herita%e and history. $hey ser"e to educate people about the city, and act as landmars or talin%

points for "isitors and tourists. &o"ernments and local councils should pay creati"e artists to produce this ind

of art, because without their fundin% our cities would be much less interestin% and attracti"e.

A thin" this is a good 1a) to organise a paragraph. Xo1ever itQs best not to use the same structure t1ice in one

essa). Compare the t1o paragraphs belo1. Xo1 did A structure the second one to avoid repeating &Kirstl)

Secondl) Kinall)&Y



At is true that almost ever)one faces a situation 1hen the) are forced to change at least once in their life.

'lthough some people change for some reasons others resist to novelt) ? changes on grounds of stress and

1orr).@stressful eperiences.

An conclusion despite its necessit) of changes in some peopleJs lives some encounters 1ould ma"e people

lead a stable lifest)le.

(eed to &hange

Kirst main paragraph

There are good reasons 1h) some people feel the need to ma"e significant changes to their lives from time to

time. irstly an) ne1 situation that a person encounters can be an opportunit) to learn and gro1 as a person.

' ne1 Zob for instance might present challenges that push the person to adapt ac0uire ne1 "no1ledge or

add to his or her s"ill set. !econdly a change can represent a brea" 1ith the past and an old routine 1hich

has become boring and predictable. inally as 1ell as ma"ing life more fun and interesting ne1 eperiences

can be good for our ph)sical and mental health.

Second main paragraph

Ln the other hand it is understandable 1h) people might avoid change. /henever people are forced tochange their lifest)les Zobs or even to move house the) are li"el) to eperience stress and 1orr) as the) tr) to

adapt to the ne1 situation. B) contrast 1e feel comfortable and confident 1hen 1e sta) 1ith 1hat 1e "no1.

The decision to persist 1ith a course of action or stic" to one chosen path often leads to greater success in life.

Kor eample b) sta)ing in the same Zob for man) )ears a person can become an epert in his or her field

1hich 1ill lead to better opportunities for promotions and career progression.

Sa!ple essay

Nowadays celebrities are more famous for their glamour and wealth than for their achievements, and

this sets a bad example to young people.

To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

At is true that some celebrities are "no1n for their glamourous lifest)les rather than for the 1or" the) do. /hile Aagree that these celebrities set a bad eample for children A believe that other famous people act as positiverole models.

Ln the one hand man) people do achieve fame 1ithout reall) 1or"ing for it. The) ma) have inherited mone)from parents married a famous or 1ealth) person or the) ma) have appeared in gossip magaOines or on arealit) TV programme. ' good eample 1ould be =aris Xilton 1ho is rich and famous for the 1rong reasons.

She spends her time attending parties and nightclubs and her behaviour promotes the idea that appearanceglamour and media profile are more important than hard 1or" and good character. The message to )oungpeople is that success can be achieved easil) and that school 1or" is not necessar).

Ln the other hand there are at least as man) celebrities 1hose accomplishments ma"e them ecellent rolemodels for )oung people. 'ctors musicians and sports stars become famous idols because the) have 1or"edhard and applied themselves to develop real s"ills and abilities. The) demonstrate great effort determinationand ambition 1hich is re0uired for someone 1ho 1ants to be trul) successful in their chosen field. 'n eampleis the actor and martial artist [ac"ie Chan 1ho has become 1orld famous through )ears of practice and hard1or". This "ind of self(made celebrit) can inspire children to develop their talents through application andperseverance.
