Answers and
explanations from the quiz:
Here is the paragraph from the quiz. The connections are in
different colors:
Paragraph 1
Ikeda-Fuzoku H.S.
Joins the UNESCO mission.
The World Heritage List is a project of UNESCO. The organization,
which
is branch of the United Nations, collects information and makes a list
of places of
special interest to humanity. Japan is home to many of
these sites.
The majority of the
ones here are temples or buildings
of
historical or religious importance. In mid-May many students
from this
school visited these
places and carried out mini-research
projects on
them.
Through this
experience, the students were able to understand the
message of UNESCO's project and will be able to share this with
other
people in the future.
Can you see the flow?
It goes like this:
UNESCO->the
organization
Places of special interest ->
these sites
-> the ones here
temples or buildings of historical or
religious importance -> these
places
mini-research projects -> this
experience
the message of UNESCO's project ->
this
Paragraph 2
Learn to Lead Yourself.
Being
a leader is much better than simply being a member of a group. It has many advantages. One of them
is learning how
to make decisions. This is an
important skill in our personal lives as well as when we work within
groups. Usually, when we make decisions, they effect
our own lives only, but being a leader forces us to think more deeply
about decisions
because they
may change many people's lives. Thinking about things seriously like this is
an important thing for us to learn how to do. We need to take all
decisions seriously and consider things
before we act. By doing this, we can improve our
own situation. In this way, being a leader
helps us learn to help ourselves. For this reason,
being the leader of a group is an invaluable experience worth much more
than merely being a member.

It goes like this:
Being a

Using different words for
the same thing to connect your
sentences like this helps your paragraph flow nicely, and you can avoid
using the same word
twice!
*note: I didn't use labels like
firstly, secondly, etc. because its all one connected idea.
