Input on Definition Paragraph/Text

Definition is a method of development which is essentially employed in expository

writings which aim to explain, define or interpret facts or ideas. More than a statement

2
of what a thing is, by explanation a definition is strengthened which is in turn may be
supported by details and examples.

Definition Text/Definition Paragraph

A writing that explains what a term means
Tells reader what term is being defined
Presents clear and basic information
Uses facts, examples, or anecdotes that readers will understand

When you write a definition paragraph, you can include a definition from the dictionary
or use an original definition.

Correct and varied sentence structure is essential to the quality of your sentences and
paragraphs.

When you write, the ideas and the words are usually your own. However, sometimes
you might want to borrow someone else’s words. When you use another person’s
words, you must let the reader know that they are not yours.

Good writer include examples, especially when they are writing about a difficult or
abstract topic.

Types of Friends

Friends can be classified according to their honesty, loyalty,

the type that fits you into their schedule, or the type that finds
time for you when they need something. An honest friend tells
you the truth even if it’s not always what you want to hear. In
the long run, that honest friend may have saved you from

6
embarrassment or possible rejection. They give you
constructive criticism overall.

The loyal friend is the type of friend that will be there for you
through the thick and the thin. They don’t care how good or
bad you may look one day; they are sensitive to your feelings,
they respect you and other people in your life and most of all
they will never let you down when times are hard. They may
be what you call a best friend.

The third group, the person that fits you into their schedule, is
the type of person that is always on the go. They barely have
time for themselves let alone another person. More than likely
they will not be there for you when you need them most,
because they are so wrapped up in their busy, hectic life.

Then you have the self-absorbent type of “friend” that finds

time for you only when they need something. This type of
person isn’t what you would call a friend. This person my
always be extremely nice to you because they know that if
they are nice to you then they will more than likely get what
they want. They will call you every once in a while when it is
almost time for them to use that person again it may be for a
ride to work, home, or they just want somebody to hangout
with because they have no other friends.

If the person that is being used is smart, they will eventually

realize that they are getting used and will stop being there for
that person.

EATING DISORDERS

Eating disorders are a serious problem. One disorder people think

at most often in anorexia. Th male and female is afraid of gaining
weight so they become meticulous and controlling about the amount of
food they are swallow. The adequate food portions make the body go

7
into a starvation mode and if left unchecked, it may lead to heart
damage, stroke and death.

Another example of an eating disorder is bulimia. With this disorder,

the person is stuck at the middle of their desire for food and the desire
not to gain weight. Therefore, a vicious cycle of eating large quantities
of food followed by vomiting develops. Over time, the vomiting may
cause damages to the esophagus, deteriorates the enamel of the teeth,
and damages the heart.

My last case in point is binge eating. Food becomes a crutch to ease

unhappiness and stress felt in life. The taste and texture of food is
comforting which invites overeating. This leads to a feeling of guilt, but
the lure of food overrides the feeling. The individual eats until he
becomes overweight or obese. Obesity leads to heart disease as well
as higher risk of diabetes, cancer, and arthritis. Many times, eating
disorders are a signal that a person is suffering from mental anguish,
however, they manifest themselves as sever health problems.

EARTHQUAKES
Earthquakes can be classified into three main types based on the place
movements. The first type is known as the convergent boundary. Also known as
destructive plate boundary, this type of earthquake happens when two tectonic
plates move toward one another and collide. The second type of earthquake is

8
called the divergent boundary. During this type of earthquake, two plates are forced
to move away from each other resulting in a rift zone. The last type is called the
conservative plate boundary or transform fault. During this type of earthquake, two
tectonic plates past one another.
