35553 Template

Introduction:

The number 35553 just means a five-paragraph essay with three sentences in the introduction, five sentences in the second, third and fourth paragraphs, and three in the conclusion.

Therefore, there will be three paragraphs in the body. Each of these paragraph contains one idea supporting or against a topic. In total, there would be three supporting ideas of a topic or three arguments against a topic. Furthermore, in each of the three body paragraphs you need about two or three examples and supporting information to back your arguments up.

Aim: to support only one side of the argument

When we use 3773 or 35553 templates?

  • Use TWO paragraphs (3773) if you are giving both sides of the argument or situation - one paragraph for, and one against (or the opposite). 
  • Use THREE paragraphs if you are only giving one side.
