Prompt: Profanity is an emotive communicative tool which plays a variety of roles in contemporary Australian society. Discuss
My plan:
Paragraph 1: the social purpose of profanity
                   *group solidarity
                   *social distance
                    *profane jokes (acceptable)
Paragraph 2: Our language is changing
                     *what we see as taboo is changing overtime
                     *profanity in different context
Paragraph 3: profanity is demeaned in society
                   *society constitutes right from wrong
                    *profanity in public domain

This is my plan, its the body paragraphs that i can't write.
Is there a specific structure (beside TEEL) for language essays??

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.  :-\
