DISCUSSION

1. Do you know of other famous blind people? How are blind people special?

2. Louis Braille was unlucky. Do you know another unlucky person? Explain.

WRITING

Now read the following paragraph written by a student.

F*aragra

ph]

My Sister Liz

My sister Liz was born lucky. She has a beautiful smile. When she does something bad, she smiles and my parents are not angry. She eats a lot and does not get fat. Her favorite meal is a double cheeseburger with french fries, a milkshake, and an ice cream sundae. She does not study hard but always gets good grades. After school she does her homework in five minutes while she watches television at the same time. In conclusion, I believe some people are born lucky, some are not.

ORGANIZING

As we know, a good paragraph must have three parts: a topic sentence, supporting sentences, and a concluding sentence. But a good paragraph must also have unity.

Unity means that all of the supporting sentences must be about the controlling idea in the topic sentence. Think about the model paragraph above.

Topic sentence: My sister Liz was born lucky.

(Controlling idea)

Main supporting sentences:

1. She has a beautiful smile.

2. She eats a lot and does not get fat.

3. She does not study hard but get good grades.
