Think of an essay as a house you are inviting an examiner to walk through. The introduction is the front door. Each paragraph is a separate ROOM dedicated to one idea, a bedroom for one argument, the kitchen for another, the living room for a third. The conclusion is the back garden where you wave the visitor off. If you mix all the furniture into one big room, your reader gets lost. Tidy paragraphing is the most VISIBLE sign of clear thinking in CSEC Paper 2.
