DEVELOPING PARAGRAPHS
1
Look at the two paragraphs below. In the first one the function of the
sentences is marked. Try to do the same for the second paragraph.
Paragraph 1
When an immediate threat appears, our mind focuses on the things that are
really important.
The brain releases chemicals that make the mind more
alert and active when attention is needed. If you know you are about to
speak in front of 200 people, you are likely to be thinking about nothing
else other than what you want to say. You are unlikely to be thinking about
what you are going to have for dinner tonight.
Paragraph 2
Our response not only becomes faster, but another benefit of fear is that we
also become stronger when we are faced with danger. Under pressure skills
such as putting a key in a door usually become worse, but physical skills
such as running and jumping tend to improve. If an angry dog is chasing
you, you are probably going to run faster. In a normal situation we often
only use 65% of our strength, but studies have shown that this can increase
to as much as 85% in more dangerous situations.
