Welcome to Cyber Writing - Introduction
Identification of concepts and organizing them
A sentence or paragraph has to be arranged in a logical order.
Sentences in paragraphs can be arranged to show time or sequences of events.
Generally, in a paragraph, the most general point is stated first and then leading to the most specific point.
Exercise:
I. Improve the sentences and write them in logical order:
a) Kalidasa is a Malayalm poet and he is best known for his poems.
b) Though we have had rain for seven days, the rainfall for August is normal.
c) The boat overturned yesterday when five men drowned.
II. Create a coherent paragraph by arranging the sentences in logical order
1. It may be the succession of summers with extremely high temperatures that is to blame.
2. Added to this is the costly array of cooling power drinks that New Yorkers now consume to keep body temperatures down.
3. The result is high and unwelcome summer electricity and food bills.
4. New Yorkers have recently been complaining that the cost of keeping cool in summer has sky rocketed.
5. The cost of running an air-conditioner non-stop in the unrelenting heat has doubled over the last five years.
6. Electricity prices are the main reason for the chorus of complaints.
7. The refrigerator too has to work overtime.
