His voice and the way he delivers the lessons are so peaceful.
The way he delivered this explanation was extremely easy to understand. Not only does he teach but also he makes us meditate!
I noticed that he smiled in one of the revised sentences. The one about having a kid makes you patient. It's kind of sweet because maybe he has a kid.
I want this guy to teach me how to meditate.
hi tucky boi
This guy is an amazing teacher! 🙏🏻, he is so peaceful ! and whatever he says it gets stuck on your head.
Thank you so much for making this video. If you can imagine, I am going back to school at an older age in my life. I went to a technical high school. English was not what they really focused on. Writing essay’s was never something we did. Thank you again for your calming voice, and easy explanation of how to finish my essay. Have a blessed day, and thank you for sharing this with all of us. 💜
Shaun's ways of presenting is amazing. The guy is cool and deserves incredible teaching learning skill. Thanks.
Shaun, I'm 74 years old getting an MA in seminary and this is the best lesson on paragraph structure I've ever heard!! Thank you!
good luck!
@@danielleonardosantos7089 jrjddjdjdjdjdjnddndndndnenendjisis it
How'd it go, out of curiosity?
Have you graduated from the Seminary? If so, congratulations!
This is a superb lesson. I am going to use this in my essay-writing class to help teach paragraph structure. Thank you for sharing.
Couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong with my writing. You presented the information on paragraph writing and showed me exactly where I was going wrong. Think I can write much better with this in mind. Great lesson Professor! Thank you!
His voice is so relaxing
That bird just flew into your house! lol 0:02

Watching this video is the best way to improve my English writing .
His voice & way of description just amaizing
Thank you, Farah.
Shaun has a lot of writing videos in this channel. I hope it helps in the course you are in.
Thanks for posting - well presented with clear and helpful ideas
A paragraph must have 3 parts:
1. Topic Sentence - It gives the main idea of the paragraph.
2. Supporting Sentences - It develops the main idea by giving examples and explanations.
3. Concluding Sentences - It gives closure to the paragraph.
Example of a good topic sentence: Taking too many university courses at once can have serious consequences.
- The topic sentence has a clear topic and a main idea.
Traits of a good topic sentence:
1. It must not be too specific (e.g. a fact or evidence).
2. It must not be too broad. The sentence must have a main idea.
3. Topic must not be annouced. Instead, state your opinion or the main idea.
You just did my homework, thank you 🥺

Bilbo Baggins... 😲 Also very helpful, thank you.. you really simplify it well, which I really appreciate because my school life got really messed up so I missed a lot of things and it can be hard to understand now, especially English stuff (don't even know the term for it lol). I didn't graduate, but I'm writing an autobiography about my experiences with love so far in life, and I'm going to publish it. So I'm really glad to find a teacher I can understand! 😄
Thanks for making me understand the concept. 😅🙏🙏🙏
good and well presented

well done shaun u r a good person I wont ever forget how you have helped me this day.
@@Lakokage and didnt put a ' in won't
@@Lakokage It isn't a grammar video, it's a paragraph structure video
@@DiegoGames-yf5vr well you didn't put an apostrophe in "didn't" so...
@@madychitwood8761 apostrophes arent very important in words unless its something like 'we're'
@@DiegoGames-yf5vr That does make sense. That's why I think it was unnecessary and a bit rude to point out that won't did not have an apostrophe, as you can still tell what the word is. :)
thnks x Ur class. It was short & sweet and straight 2 the point. I`m having a hard time at writting essays . and Ur Vids are clarifying my problem. :) Ale Esl teacher from argentina
I have not written an essay in years and this served as a nice refresher, thank you!
It was helpful .. i m taking ESL classes in Los angeles city college and its frustrating for me to play with this while i m trying to move in any university! -_-
He could say "Hi" or "Hello" at the beginning of his videos. But the lessons are good!
Wow helpful.
dude said to his barber "give me the season 1 jim halpert."
Hi, Shawn I was wondering if you are still making this type of videos 2018. I came across your videos, it is very useful to me. English is not my native language. Thank you.

How to write introduction of an essay?
Thank, a good paragraph need:
Topic Sentence

Shaun,
The provided exercise link is no longer valid. Are you able to update it?
Rip x💔
After finishing my school, I continue watching this video to recall what I learnt one time.
When you say "every paragraph" has three basic components, you mean a "typical" paragraph, correct? Paragraphs can have an implied main idea (i.e., no topic sentence) and, if it has a main idea sentence, it can be anywhere in the paragraph. I'm a reading instructor, and it's often a struggle to help students understand these concepts because they learn in their writing courses that they must "always start a paragraph with a topic sentence."
Snap Language That's correct, yes; there will always be exceptions to the typical format. And I tell my students the same thing; while a paragraph's main idea is often found in the first couple sentences, it is not an absolute. When looking for the main idea of a paragraph you are reading, it is important to keep in mind that experienced/professional writers can place a topic sentence anywhere they like and are not restricted by the conventions of essay writing. When teaching language learners how to write a paragraph, however, I strongly encourage them to include a clear topic sentence to help them focus their ideas. Thanks.
Thank you for the quick reply! I'll make sure my reading students see this... so they don't think I'm lying LOL

If you don't watch the video while listening, it really sounds like Alexander Skarsgård talking to you.
Is this a good topic sentence: The writer has used a choice of powerful phrases and words in the description of the countryside to create a powerful visual impression about the remote part of Mongolia.
Yes, it is, although "used a choice" is a little awkward. Maybe "chosen to use" or simply "used".
thank you
Study smart brings me here
This guy looks like a more nerdy version of that dude from the office.
when he looks to the left you can see the screen
He looks like the guy from crash course.
Who’s watching this for their GCSEs
