☆ Include an introductory paragraph, three body paragraphs, and a conclusion
paragraph.
☆ The body paragraphs should have a title, just as the example shown in point 3.
☆ Each paragraph should contain three or four sentences. Use compound and complex
sentences as much as possible. Feel free to use the sentences you’ve created in
point 1.
