LEITURA E REDAÇÃO EM LINGUA INGLESA
In this class, you will be able to learn about the structure of a paragraph. Paragraphs are generally divided in a topic sentence, supporting sentences and a concluding sentence. Paragraphs help the writer to follow a logical argument. They are used when the writer wants to start a new idea, or when he wants to present a concept which contrasts with the one already presented or when another argument is raised and demands a new discussion.

How to organize a paragraph?
	If you think you do not write well, and that writing compositions or essays is something that only the gifted ones can, let me tell you that you are completely mistaken.
	There are some strategies you can use which will help you develop your writing skills. Take a look at the paragraph below. 
	José is a very busy student. (2) He studies History at State University and he also studies English. (3) During the day, he goes to classes. (4) At night, he works in the bookstore. (5) On the weekends, he volunteers at the children’s hospital. (6) José doesn’t rest!

	Sentence (1) is a topic sentence. It covers all the information in the paragraph. Sentences (2), (3), (4), (5) are supporting sentences. They give facts and descriptions. Supporting sentences are clearly linked to the topic sentence. Sentence (6) is a concluding sentence. This sentence summarizes the paragraph.
	Paragraphs should contain ideas, thoughts and clear purposes. It is important to ask yourself what the main objective of the paragraph is. Is the paragraph expanding previous ideas? Is this stating something again? Is this describing? Is this comparing? Is this contrasting? You have to clarify what your real purpose is.

Present Simple 
There are seven basic uses of the simple present tense. We use it for:
Permanent truths: Summer follows spring.
‘The present period’ (= ‘this is the situation at present’): My sister works in a bank.
Habitual actions: I get up at 7.
Future references (for timetables,etc): The concert begins at 7.30 next Friday evening.
Observations and declarations: I love you/ It says here that…
 Instructions: First you weigh the ingredients.
Commentaries: Becker serves to Lendi.

	In this lesson, if you take a look at the functions above, the one we are using in the organization of the paragraph about José, is the description of habitual actions. We can notice that in the paragraph, verbs in the present simple vary in form in the third person singular. 
	Example: He studies History at State University and he also studies English.
	During the day he goes to classes.
	At night, he works in the bookstore.
	On weekends, he volunteers at the children´s hospitals

Verbs in the present simple, in the third person singular (he,she,it) ,
generally take an-s :
At night, he works in a bookstore.
If the verbs end in s,ch,sh,x and o, they takes -es:
During the day he goes to classes.
If the verbs end in y, drop the y, change them to I and add es: 
He also studies English.

If the sentences are in the negative, you will have to use do or does:
(He, she it) does not/ doesn´t rest
(I, you, we, they) do not rest/don´t rest.
If you want to make questions, you will use:
Do ( I, you,we,they) go to classes at night?
Does (he, she, it) eat at night?

	Adverbs are also of great help to establish routines. In the paragraph about José, adverbial expressions such as during the day, on the weekends or at night come together with verbs in the present simple to highlight the description of habitual actions. 
	Adverbs of time tell us when something happens: everyday, this week, on Mondays, at 5 o’clock, in the morning, etc.
	On Mondays she goes to school by car.
	Adverbs of frequency can also help you describe routines: always, almost always, generally, usually, normally, frequently, often, sometimes, hardly ever, seldom, ever, never, etc.
	The dog seldom sleeps in the house.
