Imagine you see an advert to be an astronaut and write an application letter. Can you come up with a title for the topic or main idea of each paragraph? Write a simple title for each paragraph, for example, All about my qualifications. Top Tip! Remember paragraphs are useful to you as the writer, as well as the reader. They help you to organise your ideas and can make your writing flow better, so it is easier to read.
