Peer responce to the definition paragraph by Hanna Plotnikova

Anna Tretyak

The best feature of Anna’s definition paragraph is its logical structure and completeness. The format of her paper is also correct. Anna gave clear topic sentence that can be used separately as a sentence definition. The main idea of this paragraph is distinct – Ecotourism has such benefits as… – and no more details are needed. The transitional word “so” signalized of the end of this definition, which concludes its main statements – that “ecotourism is beneficial for both nature and local community because of environmental, economic, and social benefits.” Maybe it would be better to avoid tautology in this sentence and for the word “benefits” use a synonym, like “advantages” or “profit”. All the sentences are smoothly and well connected in a paragraph, and appropriate transitional words are used. I have no critical remarks about sentence structure. This paragraph is an example of good and logically structured definition.
