Division/Classification

 



A division/classification paragraph or essay either divides something into parts or groups related things into categories.


. . When people walk through a hardware store or home improvement center, they will notice how many kinds of paint are available. The various kinds of paint can be grouped according to finish: glossy, semi-gloss, and flat. First of all, most kitchens and bathrooms are painted with glossy or semi-gloss enamel which is the easiest to clean and holds up well to scrubbing. Enamels are also used on interior trim for the same reasons. Sometimes they are even used on children's bedroom walls where they might get scuff marks or be written on accidentally. The other kind of paint is flat latex; this paint is used for walls and ceilings of regular bedrooms and living areas as it is less likely to show the imperfections of rough walls due to poor putty jobs, scratches, or uneven surfaces under the paint and it is less likely to need frequent scrubbing. In conclusion, the finish of the paint is as important as the color.


Notice the transitions used to make the kinds of paint stand out: first of all, also, sometimes, the other kind, and in conclusion.
