THE BASIC RULES

• - Paragraphs should be detailed and not very, very long.
• - Connectives should connect the sentences, so the sentences make sense and are more clear.
• - Topic sentences should summarize the topic in a short, clear paragraph.
• - The structure should be in chronological order so that everything makes sense and isn´t messy and 'all over the place'.
