Here I share about some general paragraphs type and provide with simple examples. Hope this is useful for your academic or scientific writing. I have also added some signal words inserted in each paragraph which indicate their paragraphs types. The most important is you have to remember that there are three basic part in paragraph, it is the Topic sentence (main idea) The supporting sentences (explaining the topic) and Concluding sentence (repeating the main idea or giving final comment about the topic). You can analyze each of the paragraph below and make your own paragraph based on this pattern..!!'

I am a loner and a single fighter. I do not regret this condition because I like to be alone. Ordinary people look enjoy themselves as part of community but it doesn’t work in my personality. They always ask me to merge with other people in order to get new experience and communicate with a lot of fun. I don’t understand why I have to spend my time to talk with another people who I don’t even know them exactly and determining whether it is fun for me or not. It is my life and I do everything for myself and this leads my way. No one knows what is better for me than myself. I know what I can do and I know what I can’t do. For that reason I am alone because of my choice and do not disturb my privacy life.

I never realized how similar parents and their children can be. My father, a person I admire the most, has a habit of snapping his feet on the floor while watching a boxing channel in television. This I realized after watching him closely and my father did this habit for a long time. I do not know the reason of my father did that. He kept doing that habit until one day I tried to ask him. The one time I mentioned the behavior, my father looks embarrassed, and he tried for a while to break himself of the habit. Although I vowed never to develop any such quirk, I recently caught myself in the middle of watching soccer channel. I got frustrated because my team could not even try to score the goal. Spontaneously there was unfamiliar sound that bothered me a lot. After I realized, that was my feet who kept snapping like previously my father did. My father who accidentally near me had a quite respond although I knew that inside, he was laugh out loud. Both my father and I have the same habit after all. The lineage cannot deny. Now I know just how maddeningly similar parents and their children can be.
F. CONTRAST PARAGRAPH
My brother and I have different personality and interest. My older brother, Sammy has a neat habit in all the aspect of his life. The room organized perfectly so it looks peace when we watch the room either it’s from corner or front. The chair, the bookshelf, bed are put in order which could be easily to reach. Nothing messed order in Sammy’s room. Although he is a musician, the guitar and all of his music instruments look new because he always take care his own stuff. On the other hand, my life is not as easy as my brother. I am a soccer player and every day I have to wake up early to go to school after tiring-training at the night. I don’t’ have time to arrange my goods neatly, I just put my stuff where it fits although my room end with tight space inside. I am so busy that my club does not even have an off day in process. I cannot manage my time to other aspect and do perfect thing like my brother does. But I enjoy my life and it was fun to have different thing with my brother, at least we can share each other.
G. PROBLEM-SOLUTION PARAGRAPH
Drug is rife in many countries. Billions of dollars are spent internationally preventing drug use, treating addicts, and fighting drug-related crime. Although drugs threaten many societies, their effects can also be combated successfully. Drug abuse can cause multiple problems for countries and communities. The medical and psychological effects are very obvious. Addicts cannot functions normal members of society. They neglect or abuse their families, and eventually require expensive treatment or hospitalization. Huge police resources are needed to fight smuggling and dealing criminal gangs and mafia underworlds develop with the money from drugs. The menace of drugs can be fought. Education is the first battle. Children need to be told at home and in school about drugs. People need to be aware of the effects so they can avoid this problem. A second approach is to increase police manpower and create effective laws to stop dealers. However the main target should be the user. Although the problem of drugs may seem impossible to eliminate, there are concrete steps that can be taken to weaken the hold of drugs on society. The danger from drugs is too great to ignore for us and our children
