11. “THE IMPORTANCE OF BREAKFAST”
You may already know that it is important to have
a king-sized breakfast every morning. Do you
know why? Your body is famished in the morning
because you haven’t eaten for about 8–10 hours.
Breakfast is therefore the first meal of the day,
and hence, the most important one as well.
Imagine driving a car without fuel; this is exactly
how your body feels without the fuel provided by
a nutritious breakfast. Many people these days
resort to skipping breakfast in a bid to lose
weight. Nutritionists are appalled by this trend
since it is mandatory to have breakfast within two
hours of waking up. Depriving the body of energy
can cause serious health problems in the long
run. Forget silly celebrities and their inane ways

14. TRANSITION WORDS
Transition words are phrases or words
used to combine one idea to the next.
Transition words are used by the author
to help the reader progress from one
significant idea to the next.
Transition words also show the
relationship within a paragraph (or within
a sentence) between the main idea and
the supporting details that the author
gives for those ideas.

bought fish, vegetables, and fruits.
Geneva’s friends ate various of viands on
her birthday such as Humba, Afritada,

19. Descriptive Paragraph is a type of
paragraph describes something and
shows the reader what a person, place,
thing, or event is like. The description

The lights grow brighter as the earth lurches
away from the sun, and now the orchestra is
playing yellow cocktail music, and the opera
of voices pitches a key higher. Laughter is
easier minute by minute, spilled with
prodigality, tipped out at a cheerful word. The
groups change more swiftly, swell with new
arrivals, dissolve and form in the same
breath; already there are wanderers,
confident girls who weave here and there
among the stouter and more stable, become
from a sharp, joyous moment the center of a
group, and then, excited with triumph, glide
on through the sea-change of faces and
voices and color under the constantly
21. Narrative Paragraph is a type of
paragraph presents a story. There is a
series of events that present a clear
beginning, middle and end. Narrative
paragraphs are often sharing an
experience or an event. In this manner,
they share few properties of process
and descriptive patterns of paragraph
development.

22. It's been almost ten years since I first ran for
political office. I was thirty-five at the time, four
years out of law school, recently married and
generally impatient with life. A seat in the
legislature had opened up and several friends
suggested that I run, thinking that my work as a
civil rights lawyer and contacts from my days as
a community organizer, would make me a viable
candidate. After discussing it with my wife, I
entered the race and proceeded to do what
every first-time candidate does: I talked to
anyone who would listen. I went to block club
meetings and church socials, beauty shops and
barbershops. If two guys were standing on a
corner, I would cross the street to hand them
campaign literature. And everywhere I went, I'd

explain. It could also be a description

24. All toilet flush tanks work about the same.
When the toilet is flushed, the trip handle
lifts the tank ball, opening the outlet and
letting water flow into the bowl. When the
tank is nearly empty, the ball falls back in
place over the outlet. The float falls with
the water level, opening the water-supply
inlet valve just as the outlet is being closed
and the tank is refilled through the filler
tube. Water also flows through the bowl
refill tube into the overflow pipe to
replenish trap-sealing water. As the water
level in the tank nears the top of the
overflow pipe, the float closes the inlet

25. This type of paragraph development
has its goal to convince the reader to
accept a presented point of view of the
writer's position. This type of paragraph is
useful forming an argument. A persuasive
paragraph relies on logic, emotional appeal
and facts.

26. Immigration contributes to the overall health of
the American economy. This country has largely
benefited from the skills, talents and ambition
that immigrants bring with them. American
businesses gain from a good source of
affordable labor, while town and cities are
revitalized by immigrant families who strengthen
communities through civic participation the
generation of new economic activity. The United
States must continue to welcome new arrivals
and help those who are already here; otherwise,
the country will lose the advantages it has over
other industrialized countries who compete
against us in the global marketplace and seek to
recruit from a vast pool of unskilled and skilled
global workers.
