In a 5 para.essay, How do you write a supporting paragraph so that you sound intelligent? How do you start it?

Question

The Topic Let's Say is on "What Motivate People To Change?"

Answer 1

The only way to sound intelligent is to know what you are talking about. Take 5 or 10 minutes before you start to mind map your answer, or jot down ideas so that you answer the question being asked.

Answer 2

You basically write a paragraph using facts and personal experiences to support what you have written in your essay.
You want to make the reader see why you presented the information in the order you did, along with citing any information that is not your own.
You would start your sentence with a transition word i.e.
To summarize…or...
In conclusion, (this happened) because of (things, in sequence of your essay),
or….you can say something like “this came about because…” and more or less summarize the facts in your essay, in the same order as they happened, along with citing where they came from if they are not your own experiences or thoughts.
The supporting paragraph just does exactly as it sounds like...it supports your essay to more or less back it up as being true...or stating where you got your facts to back up what "motivate(s) people to change."
