SECTION 1- THE PERFECT PARAGRAPH
1) Read Paragraphs 1 and 2 below and answer the question.
Paragraph 1
It has eight classes. I like playing games in the playground with my friends. We usually have pizza on
Saturdays because there is no school. English is my favourite subject. I usually enjoy the time I spend at
school.
Paragraph 2
I usually enjoy the time I spend at school. I like to play games in the playground with my friends and we
always sit together to eat our lunch. Some lessons are a little boring but most are fun and English is my
favourite subject. There are eight classes in grade five and I have friends in all of them. When I’m at home I
always look forward to going back to school the next day.

Paragraphs are groups of sentences that go together to talk about one main idea. The main idea of a
paragraph is stated in the __________________. The topic sentence tells us what the paragraph is about
and the main idea discussed in the __________________.
A topic sentence should not contain any extra information or _____________________.
Topic sentence is the top bun of a hamburger.

SUPPORTING DETAILS
Supporting details are the ingredients of
the hamburger. If you want to make your
hamburger delicious, you should include
important and interesting information in
your paragraphs.
Topic Sentence:
My dog is really naughty.

Supporting Detail 1 Give an example of something your dog does that is naughty.
Supporting Detail 2 Describe how often he does it.
Supporting Detail 3 Describe how you or your family feels
and acts when the dog is naughty.
Topic Sentence:
I had a great time at my friend’s
birthday party.
Supporting Detail 1

Supporting Detail 2 ____________________________________

Supporting Detail 3 ____________________________________
____________________________________
Let’s discuss together!
Now, it’s your turn. Write 3 proper supporting details.
Supporting detail explains the idea in the topic sentence. We usually have more than two
supporting details in a paragraph. Supporting details should be about the topic and give interesting,
important details.
DATE: ……………………………………
8 051-eng-wb1-(WritingBooklet)
Read the paragraphs and underline the supporting details that are not about the topic sentence.
1) Basketball is a great sport to play with your friends. It is a team sport so you can enjoy it with many people.
The sport started in America. You can spend a fun afternoon in the park and get a little healthier at the same
time. That’s why I think basketball is an excellent way to spend your time.
2) Books are a really good way to learn new things about the world. You can read stories which allow you to
imagine different times and places. Also, the facts in books are often more accurate than the information
on the internet. Books are a little heavy to carry around. Generally, I think you can learn a lot from reading
books.
3) Dolphins are one of the cleverest animals in the world. They use a hole on top of their heads to breath. They
can communicate with each other using clicks and whistles. There are stories about them rescuing injured
humans and bringing them to the shore. These things show that dolphins are very intelligent.
4) Playing computer games is an unhealthy hobby. You have to sit inside all day instead of going outside to do
more active things and get some exercise. Some people say that you can hurt your eyes if you play them for
too long. Also they are a lot more expensive than books. Many other hobbies are a lot better for you than
playing computer games.
Be ready to discuss!

USING CONJUNCTIONS IN YOUR PARAGRAPHS
AND-BUT-OR-BECAUSE
We use conjunctions to connect words, phrases and clauses. They help our sentences to sound better
and more natural. We don’t usually use conjunctions to start sentences when we’re writing, but people
do when they’re speaking. Different conjunctions have different functions such as adding, sequencing,
emphasizing or showing the cause & effect relationship.
1) AND
We use and for adding information.
E.g. Amy's dad is taking us on Saturday morning, and he's offered to bring us home again on
Sunday.
(It gives an additional information about the topic.)
2) BUT
We use but for connecting statements that express opposite ideas.
E.g. I called Steve, but he wasn't at home.
(It connects two opposite situations.)
3) OR
We use or for giving alternatives.
E.g. Do you want chocolate, strawberry or vanilla?
(It helps to offer different alternatives.)
4) BECAUSE
We use because for giving reasons, for showing the cause & effect relationship.
E.g. I'd like to see that Irish band, because Celtic music is pretty cool.
(It helps to explain the reason of the first statement.)
10 051-eng-wb1-(WritingBooklet)
We need to put a comma (,) before AND, OR, BUT when they connect two clauses.
E.g My family gets together at night , and we talk about our day.
E.g Sonya wakes up early , but she is always late for school.
CONJUNCTIONS
AND-BUT-OR
DATE: ……………………………………
Read the sentences about two types of people. Complete the sentences with and, but, or or.
Add commas where necessary.
The Organized Person
1. Every day I wake up, __and__ I make a long “to do” list.
2. I usually use the “notes” feature on my phone for important tasks _____________ I always do
them.
3. I don’t like to forget appointments _____________ be late.
4. I like to be busy ____________ I feel good when I get things done.
The Disorganized Person
5. Sometimes I make lists ______________ I usually lose them.
6. I have a lot of appointments _____________ a lot of things to do every day.
7. I try to be on time ______________ I am often late for appointments.
8. I am always busy _____________ I don’t get things done.
11 051-eng-wb1-(WritingBooklet)
BECAUSE can come before or after the main clause. Use a comma ( , ) when BECAUSE comes fırst in the
sentence.
E.g. Because I don’t like to get up early , I’m always late.
I’m always late because I don’t like to get up early.
In speaking, you can answer a question starting with BECAUSE. Do not do this in writing!
E.g. Why are you at school?
-Because I want to learn English.
BECAUSE also shows a cause-and-effect relationship.
E.g. I am always late because I don’t like to get up early.
Effect Cause
CONJUNCTIONS
BECAUSE
DATE: ……………………………………
Match the effect on the left with the cause on the right.
1. John is tired ___c___

f. because their mother doesn’t have time.
g. because their alarm clocks don’t work.
12 051-eng-wb1-(WritingBooklet)
Label each clause with C for “cause” and E for “effect”. Then combine the sentences with because.
Do not change the order of the clauses.
1. ___E___ Brendon does well in class. ___C___ He studies every day.
Brendon does well in class because he studies everyday._________________________________________
2. __C___ Tanya’s alarım clock does not work. ___E___ She is often late for work.

Editing Task
Read the story about Professor Kwan’s class on time management. Find and correct 9 mistakes that
are related to COMMON MISUSE OF CONJUNCTIONS or PUNCTUATION.
A Useful Class
Every year, Professor Kwan teaches a class on time management. Many students like to take her
class. Sometimes the class fills up quickly / because it is so popular. Students know that they need to
register early—in person and online. This is the first lesson of the time-management class.
In this class, Professor Kwan talks about different ways for students to organize their time. Her
students often complain about the stress they have but how little time they have. Professor Kwan
always tell her students to buy a calendar.She says students can use an electronic calendar and a paper
calendar. Because her students get organized they use their calendar every day. She tells students to
find time to study at least once a day—either after school and at night. When students plan their time
well, they feel in control and confident.
This is not the only thing that Profeesor Kwan teaches in the class. Students have a lot of stress
because it is also important to find time to relax, and exercise. Professor Kwan’s class is so popular,
because all students need help with time management. At the end of her class, students have less
stress but they have great time-management skills!

A closing sentence gives a summary of the main idea. It closes the paragraph.
It says the same thing as the topic sentence, but in different words. Your closing sen-
tence should never talk about a new topic.

C. Having a computer in your bedroom can really help with your homework. It’s possible to use it when
ever you want without other people from your family stopping you. You can research everything you
need to know. You can use it to make all your work look really good and then e-mail it directly to
your teacher.

The Life Cycle of a Frog
The way a frog starts life is really strange. The frog’s eggs hatch into little
tadpoles that can swim. The tadpoles then grow legs and a tail. The tail then
disappears and the tadpole begins to look like a frog. I think this change is a re-
ally unusual thing about frogs.

General Tips for Email Writing :
1. Always use a subject that describes what's in the e-mail.
2. Salutation / Greeting : “Hello Mr. White” is okay. Or just the person's name is okay. “Dear Mr. White” is
better for a formal e-mail.
3. The first sentence should explain why you are sending an e-mail.
4. The body should have short, well spaced paragraphs. Spacing makes it easy to scan.
5. If your email has attachments, add a sentence to say that.
1) Read the e-mail below and try to find the mistakes and highlight them using a different colour:

HOW TO WRITE AN EMAIL DATE: ……………………………………
Rules for writing a better email :
DO’S
1) Using an informative subject line, which
says what the email is about.
2) Writing the most important information
first.
3) Using numbers and bullet points to
make the message clearer.
4) Using simple grammar.
5) Writing short sentences.
6) Using paragraphs to keep the email
clear and easy to understand.
DON’TS
1) Writing “hello” as your subject line.
2) Writing about irrelevant issues. The reader
will soon hit “delete” if the email doesn’t
get to the point.
3) Giving personal information that you don’t
want anyone else to know.
4) Using capital letters to write whole words as
in emails, this is considered shouting.
5) Using different fonts in the email.
6) Using Italics.
7) Using exclamation marks.
8) Using abbreviations like coz and uni.
9) Using acronyms like BTW.
10) Using smileys. They maybe misunderstood

has been done for you.
Cem is listening to the teacher and trying to write down what
he is saying. However, the teacher is speaking very quickly
and Cem can’t write every sentence. It is taking too long to
write down everything the teacher is saying.

Alp finds it difficult to write in class and doesn’t like taking-notes. Luckily, Alp is very artistic and
can remember ideas through what he draws. What should he do?
Defne wasn’t listening when the teacher told the class about
today’s topic. She starts to make notes anyway but doesn’t
really know what she is doing.
Sarp is good at writing and has written down most of what the teacher has said in the
lesson. However, when he reads his notes he doesn’t know what are the important points of
the lesson.
Bahar is taking notes and knows the teacher is saying something important. However, she has
already filled her paper with writing and doesn’t have room to write anything else.
