THE CAUSES OF TEENAGE PREGNANCY IN THE COUNTRY

A recent increase in the number of teenage pregnancies in the country has generated public

                                     The Main Body

The main body of an article is the presentation and explanations of points in paragraphs. So,

the notes on paragraphing skills will be essential at this point. We use expository paragraphs

in writing formal articles. But make use of opinion languages.

Examples of opinion languages and expressions.

   •   In my opinion

   •   My opinion

   •   In my view

   •   I suggest

   •   My view is that

   •   I think

We use these expressions to open a paragraph or offer a suggestion. The expression must be

formal; no room for slang, jargon, or colloquial expressions
