Linking words (also called transition words or connectors) guide your reader through a paragraph. They show how one idea relates to the next — adding, contrasting, giving examples, or concluding. Using them well is a key B1 skill that makes writing smooth and easy to follow. This lesson organises the most useful ones.
The concluding sentence is the last sentence of a paragraph. Its job is to signal the end and leave the reader with a clear final thought. A good conclusion makes a paragraph feel complete instead of stopping suddenly. This lesson shows you how to write one.
After the topic sentence come the supporting sentences — the middle of the paragraph. Their job is to explain, prove, and develop the main idea with details, examples, and reasons. Good supporting sentences turn a plain statement into a convincing paragraph. This lesson shows you how to build them.
A paragraph is a group of sentences about one main idea. Every strong paragraph begins with a topic sentence — the sentence that tells the reader what the whole paragraph is about. Learning to write a clear topic sentence is the first and most important step in paragraph writing.
A postcard or a diary entry is a short, personal piece of writing about your experiences — where you are, what you are doing, and how you feel. It is a perfect A2 task because it mixes tenses naturally and lets you write about real life. This lesson shows you how to structure both.
Writing a short email is one of the most useful real-world A2 skills — for messaging a teacher, a friend, or a company. A good email has a clear structure and the right level of politeness. This lesson gives you a reliable template you can reuse every time.
Describing a place — a room, a city, a picture — uses two key tools: there is / there are to say what exists, and prepositions of place to say where things are. Together they let you paint a clear picture in words. This lesson shows you how.
Describing people is a key writing skill — for stories, introductions, and everyday descriptions. English uses different verbs for different kinds of description: be for states, have for features, and the present continuous for clothes someone is wearing. This lesson brings them together.
To write about the future, English uses two main forms: be going to and will. Both talk about the future, but we choose them for slightly different reasons. This lesson shows you when to use each so your writing about plans and predictions is clear and natural.
The simple past tense is how we write about finished actions and events — things that happened and are now complete. It is essential for telling stories, describing your day, and writing about your experiences. This lesson covers regular and irregular verbs and how to build past sentences.
