A good document should have a clear structure. Dividing your document into multiple paragraphs will result in a document which is much easier for the reader to understand and will help deliver the message effectively.

• Each paragraph should contain one idea.

• Each new paragraph should begin with a topic sentence.

• Follow the topic sentence with your analysis.

• Close the paragraph with a transition sentence which rounds off the idea or links it to the next paragraph. Adhering to the above will bring about a significant improvement in the flow of your document.
