The construction of a paragraph:
- Topic sentence (first/second or final sentence)
- Supporting details (explanation, reasons, examples,
opposing viewpoint, cause, effect, condition,
problem, advantage/disadvantage, opinion, fact,
purpose, aim)
- Concluding sentence (but not always)
In 1944, the UK government created a new system of
education. Education was divided into three parts.
Children who passed an exam at 11 went to grammar schools.
Pupils who didn't do well in the exam went to 'secondary
modern' schools or technical schools. At technical schools
they studied work-based subjects. In practice, however, only
0.5% of pupils went to technical schools, and this system
divided students at a very young age into academic and nonacademic. The system did not produce good results, and
changed to a more equal system in the 1970s.
