Question

A list paragraph is preferable for engineers as it doesn’t require paragraph features as much as text block paragraphs do.

True or False

Answer 1

Answer-

True. The reason behind the preference is because of the features that a list paragraph provides. An engineer requires to explain something most of the time and it can be done by list paragraph. A detailed explanation is given below.

Text Block Paragraph- It is a type of paragraph that relates to a text block. A Text block is a generic text element.

Put simply a listing paragraph is a paragraph containing different ideas that all connect to one main idea. It is perhaps easiest to think of this as the “Firstly” “Secondly” “Thirdly” paragraph. A key to making them work is to make sure that different ideas connect to one central idea. Take a look at this very simple example to see what I mean:

There are at least three different ways to organize a paragraph. The first is to follow a structure where you make the main point, develop it with an explanation and then illustrate it with an example. The second is to list separate points that connect to the main idea stated in the topic paragraph. The third is the compare and contrast paragraph in which you examine the relationship between two different ideas.

The next step is to decide when you should use the listing paragraph structure. Here are some ideas for you to consider:

• You have a series of connected ideas (reasons/examples/explanations etc.) that relate to one main idea.
• These connected ideas are balanced (equally relevant).
• It makes sense in that essay to give different reasons (i.e. the essay asks you to write about the reasons why something is the case).
• Perhaps it is simpler to list rather than explain in detail (this is particularly the case in exams where you under time pressure).
