Identifying paragraph

At the first I thought that identifying paragraph was easy, but I was wrong. It needs more concentration and more careful. If we just read it without knowing the topic sentence and understanding what the purpose of the writer it is, we won’t know the type of paragraph. Especially for confusing paragraph like we found in our friend’s paragraph yesterday.

And at the previous meeting, I didn’t read the paragraph which presented by my friends carefully. Even for confusing paragraph. Firstly, I thought Dina’s paragraph was a kind of classification paragraph, but I was wrong, after having a long discussion we knew that it is a kind of argumentative paragraph. And I also did it for Lalang’s paragraph.

So the most important lesson for our previous meeting in my mind is we must read and reread carefully and try to understand what the purpose of the paragraph it is, before we classify it into a kind of paragraph.
