بعد از این جمله موضوعی(topic sentence) را یاد گرفتیم وقتش شده که بریم سراغ وحدت پاراگراف. فکر میکنی به چه معناست؟
همبستگی و اتحاد پاراگراف یعنی هرچیزی که مطرح میکنیم در پیوسگی و اتحاد با جمله موضوعی(topic sentence) باشد. فرضاً داریم در مورد خسته کننده ترین کلاسی که داشتیم حرف می زنیم، یک دفعه میشه مثلا به جذاب ترین جلسه هم اشاره کرد؟ طبیعتاً همچین چیزی خارج از جمله موضوعی است. هر چیزی که ما بیان میکنیم باید از ایده ی اصلی ما حمایت کند. در این مثال جذاب ترین جلسه در تعارض با ادعای اصلی ما یعنی خسته کننده بودن کلاس است. پس مربوط نیست و نباید بیان شود
به این مثال دقت کنید، میتونید بگید کجا وحدت پاراگراف از بین رفت؟
Topic sentence: My job as cook was frustrating.
Support Wrong food was delivered.
Support I had trouble estimating amounts.
Support Had fun eating extra food.
Support My clothes were messy. Support Managers wanted to change clothes, too.
Conclusion Therefore, my job as cook was frustrating.
My most frustrating job was cooking for a local fast food restaurant during my junior year in high school. No matter how hard I tried, I never could cook what the menu said because the food company always delivered the wrong food or brought it late. I also was frustrated because I had trouble estimating how much food to cook. Many times we ran short of hamburgers or had to throw away pounds and pounds of french fries. The worst thing, however, was the condition of my clothes after the meal was over. Even if I hadn’t spilled anything (and I usually had spilled some kind of sauce), my clothes smelled awful. I’d want to go home to change before going anyplace else. No wonder, then, I thought cooking in a fast food restaurant was frustrating
