Development Paragraph / Transition Signal

Tuesday, & August 2012

                       hi you all. Meet again. First of all I want to say Thank for read my blog. I hope, from this blog we can use as a medium of exchange idea to make the improvement. I still remember that Miss Zu said that the the largest room in this world is improvement. So, the good improvement bring us more excellent. We should learn from mistake.

ok! let us learn a deveplopment paragraph

Format of a development paragraph

1. Topic sentences
2. Supporting details 1
3. Supporting details 2
4. Supporting details 3
5. concluding the statement.
   
   
   EXAMPLE FOR DEVELOPMENT PARAGRAPH:
   
   
        Children too can be protected with the practice of censorship. Everyone has to remember that television and movie theaters are not restricted for “adult only”. Children have a high tendency to imitate what they saw and heard from movies and television series. Vijaindren (2009) reported that many parents complained of the use of harsh and faulty languages the children picked up from what they watched be them cartoons or other so-called “children programmers”. She also gave few examples of children from using the four-letter words to even  a mutter to find a new parent when they are not satisfied with theirs. In addition, some “simple” scenes to adult can be very disturbing to children for instance the smoking scene. Parents educate their offspring that smoking is bad, but adults on television smoke with such ease and confidence. As a result of this, the children get confused. Another example of a disturbing scene is of course the exhibition of intimacy between a man and a woman which is forbidden in Asian culture in general.  The children will be  wondering why a parent turns off the television every time a couple is kissing. If the act is wrong, why do we have it on the television to be watched by everybody? Moreover, the parents sometimes are bombarded with difficult questions of this taboo subject since Asian adults are not very open when it comes to discussing sex especially with children. In short, snipping unacceptable languages and cutting demoralizing scenes off the movies and television series help protect children from lessons they are not ready for yet and save parents from some unpredictable embarrassing scenes.
   
   
   TRANSITION SIGNAL : WHAT IS THAT??
   
   Transition signals are connecting words or phrases that act like bridges between parts of your writing. They link your sentences and paragraphs together smoothly so that there are no abrupt jumps or breaks between ideas.
   
   
   EXAMPLE WHO TO USE THE TRANSITION
   
   1-Marco loves to go swimming in the ocean.         
   2- his parent won't allow him to do that
   
   To combine that sentence, we should use a transition signal to make reader understand the sentence.
   Marco loves to go swimming in the ocean. however, his parent won't allow him to do that.
   * the transition, however tell the reader that the logical relationship between the two ideas is contrast.

 

example:2

               Ahmad love to ski             +           he likes to fish
                                              > moreover
                                              > futhermore
                                              > in addition
                                              > besides
                     = Ahmad love to ski. Furthermore, he like to fish
                                  

         
            I think that all for now. to more clearly you can do and exercise and practice more. Here are some link that you can refer
