How to write a paragraph
*One-idea paragraph
E.g.
The key rationale lies in innumerable learning sources that
the former provides for children, with which they can easily self-
study at home. A case in point is Youtube, which allows access to
a plethora of language-learning tutorial videos, therefore enabling
them to pick up a language without going to school. The same
logic can be applied to subjects like math and literture.
Considering these factor the belief that schools will be
marginalised seems justifiable.
*Two-idea paragraph
E.g.
On the other hand, I’m convinced that school will remain
irreplaceable/ place an indispensible role. First, it should be noted
that children can be so overwhelmed with a sheer volume of
online contents that they might not know where to start and what
to do next. That being the case, they could suffer from a sense
of disorientation and frustration. This is why we still need schools,
where structured learning, coupled with assistance from teachers
allow students to stay on track with their studies. In addition,
schools are of paramout importance as daily interactions with
teachers and friends promote interpersonal skills, which enables
them to know how to communicate and behave in different
settings. In contrast, screen-based learning leads to a dearth of
face-to-face communication, therefore impeding their social
development.
