Use a simple structure in each paragraph: point β reason β example. This helps your ideas stay organized, and it helps you avoid grammar problems when writing under time pressure.
Before you move to the next sentence, ask:

- Is my verb tense correct?
- Does this sentence connect logically to the previous one?
