What is an example of a functional paragraph?

Answer 1

An organised paragraph contains a main idea which is related to the other major points presented in the text. Concentration on a single topic, is essential if a paragraph is to be effective. The main idea in a paragraph is the topic statement. The topic statement establishes a meaningful pattern for the information within the paragraph.

Here is a sample

"Any notes made by students in preparation for the interview/conference session were collected. In addition, the session was tape-recorded and selected parts were transcribed. A written summative evaluation of the students' attitudes towards the corrective feedback/concordancer technique and their beliefs about learning outcomes was also collected."
