I seem to struggle with not having long enough paragraphs, and as a result, my papers are too short. What is the best way to combat this? Sincerely, An Anxious Student
Dear Anxious Student, Do not be nervous! Writing lengthy papers can be tricky, but there is a secret formula that you can follow to keep you aligned. First, consider your opening sentences; these are your main ideas. A good rule of thumb is to always be sure to elaborate on these. Try giving more in- depth descriptions or examples about your main ideas. These can be experiences, research, or anything you can think of that would increase their meaning and support the statement. Here is an example:
I greatly prefer cats over dogs as a pet. One reason would be that dogs tend to be very hyper and active creatures. They need more attention from their owners and, as a result, it takes more effort to care for them. Cats, on the other hand, are more relaxed and quiet creatures. They simply sleep all day and only beg for attention when they want to eat; they make perfect pets because of it. Place such examples after your opening statement so that they flow well with the paper. Be sure to keep such examples three to four sentences long at most.
You can also play with wording to create either shorter or longer sentences. Be sure to mix them up throughout the paragraph by having a simple statement then following up with more elaboration. This not only adds more length to your paper, but also makes the read a bit more interesting. One version you could use could be, “Cats make great pets for a family” or “Having a cat for a pet adds another member to the family, which brings much joy and happiness.”
Another tip is to always look back and revise. Look back at your paper and all the examples you have provided to see if there is anywhere you can add more, remove some, or change things up. If you have trouble with this, you can always have a friend read through it as well.
We hope that this helps with creating longer and more descriptive papers. You can always come back to this information for use on any paper. You will notice that your papers will become filled with even more valuable elaborations and examples, and achieve desired length. Thank you for sending us your question, and we look forward to seeing you in the Learning Center soon!
