In every piece of writing, each sentence needs to be related to the next one, similarly, each paragraph and each section should be a base for the nest one. Adhere to this rule:

Begin each paragraph with a sentence showing the main idea of the paragraph, in the next sentences explain it, and make a conclusion in the last sentence. This paragraph also needs to be related to the next paragraph. In other words, you state the main idea at the beginning and try to prove it at the rest of the paragraph, in a way that the reader becomes convinced while reading the last sentence.
