Freedonia's commercial airline industry has experienced impressive growth over the past three years. This trend will surely continue in the years to come, since the airline industry will benefit from recent changes in Freedonian society. Incomes are rising, most employees now receive more vacation time, and interest in travel is rising as shown by an increase in media attention devoted to foreign cultures and tourist attractions.

A good rule of thumb is that your reader should be able to get the gist of your entire argument just by skimming the first sentence of each paragraph. Remember, your reader is probably going to devote no more than 3 to 5 minutes to your essay. Take a few minutes at the beginning of your AWA to outline the five sentences that will begin your paragraphs; this strategy can make your reader’s job far easier, and a happy reader is probably more apt to make those tricky 4/5 line calls in your favor. Similarly, the e-reader is programmed to assess organization, and well-written topic sentences that use transition words and clearly state the point of each paragraph are a big help in creating the kind of organizational structure that earns you points on test day.
