Hey,
Well, with regards to your question about paragraph structure, our teacher tells us to follow the acronym TEAFL (which is very similar to TEEL; but maybe I can help clarify.)
T-
TOPIC SENTENCE (pretty obvious). Basically just state what you are going to write about in the paragraph. Maybe
you may need to define or explain a couple of key terms.
E- Give an
EXAMPLE of language which is related to the paragraph topic.
A-
ANALYZE the example in terms of the subsystems of language.
F- In/following your analysis, state the
FUNCTION of the language features you identified; i.e. why is it used? For example; one
might swear to express emotion, hurt others, construct and consolidate group identity etc.
L-
LINK what you just said back to the essay topic.
Also, our teacher says that you could include multiple examples per paragraph.
Hope I helped.
P.S. Keep trying. Also, I'm not the greatest at English either, so what I said could be wrong.
