EXAMPLE OF PARAGRAPH EXPLANATION

Explaination sequence Frogs are amphibians. Amphibians spend part of their lives under water. Young frogs start their life in water as tadpoles. First, the female frog lays lots of eggs so some will survive from being eaten by fish and other animals. The eggs are smakk and often laid inside white foam. Next, the eggs hatch into tadpoles. Tadpoles have gills so they can breath under water and a strong tail to help them swim. As the tadpoles grow bigger, they start to change because they need to become a frog. Their tail becomes smaller and they begin growing legs. The back legs grow firs followed by the front legs. Tadpoles also start to develop lungs because they have to be ready to breathe on land when they become a frog. Concluding statement introduction e g n a h C s e l o p d a T y Wh Tadpoles may be found in billabongs, lakes, swamps or even in puddles after heavy rain.
