       Example
       People are never too old to attend college. For example, there are many women
who stayed at home to raise their families and now have time to return to school. There
are other examples such as retired people who move to a college town just so they can
take occasional classes or even working people in their sixties, for instance, who want
to take some night classes. In other words, you are never too old to learn.
       If you are adding more information to make your point stronger, you may want
to use these expressions.

becoming the language of social interaction. Because of the Internet, many people cor-
respond in English by e-mail. Moreover, much of the information on the World Wide
Web is in English as well as the language of the web host. In addition, English is the

      Writing an essay, you must not only demonstrate your command of vocabulary;
you must also show your command of grammar. You cannot write only simple sen-
tences. Your essay must show syntactic variety.
      Paragraph with simple sentences
      Television is bad for children.Television shows are too violent. Children are in-
fluenced by television. Television shows should not be so violent.
      Paragraph with syntactic variety
      Since many television shows are violent, many child psychologists believe that
watching television is not good for children. As children are easily influenced, we
should limit violence on television.

       Concluding the Topic
       A good essay should have a conclusion. A conclusion is a few sentences that
support your thesis and remind the reader of your intentions. There are a few different
ways to write a conclusion.
       1.    Restatement. You can end your essay by restating your thesis and restating
your topic sentences.
       2.    Generalization. You can use all the information you provided and make a
generalization about it.
       3.    Prediction. You can summarize the information you provided and point the
reader toward the next logical step.
       4.    Question. You can conclude with a question that does not need an answer.
This is called a rhetorical question. The answer is contained in the question.
       5.    Recommendation. You can urge your readers to do something with the in-
formation you provided.
