The different types of paragraph are:
 Narration Paragraph
 Exposition Paragraph

 Classification Paragraph
 Description Paragraph
 Process Analysis Paragraph
 Persuasion Paragraph

12.Narration Paragraph
 Narration paragraphs are most distinctively used in fiction showing all necessary components of  action development: protagonist, setting, goal, obstacle, climax and resolution.
 Writing a narration paragraph requires, consequently, sequential order and chronology.
 If composed correctly, a paragraph features much more action than depiction.

13. This type of paragraph is created in order to clarify or explain a problem or a phenomenon.
 Writing exposition paragraphs requires strict focus on evidence and objective language.
 It can contain elements of comparison and contrast or cause and effect writing - both facilitate accurate exposition of its subject-matter.

14. Definition paragraphs are used in order to explain the meaning, origin and function of things.
 They are used both in academic writing and in fiction.
 To write a definition paragraph, writers should concentrate on the role of its subject in the context of the whole essay and list comparisons as well as examples accordingly.

15.Classification Paragraph
 This type of paragraph is used both in defining and comparing.
 Writers should classify the subject of the paragraph in a specific context providing comparisons to corresponding ideas.
 Classification can be performed on multiple levels – semantic (comparing different meanings of things), linguistic (using vocabulary to show contrast), and more.
