When you write your paragraph, omit the following points : 

  • cockroach is a clean insect 
  • some species are large, others are small 
  • usually black or brown in color.

Here is a specimen paragraph. Compare it with yours. 

The Secret of the Cockroach's Survival 

The Cockroach is one of the oldest creatures, older than even the dinosaurs. It has survived because it can live anywhere and in any climate, from the coldest to the warmest. It is found in cities as well as forests. Moreover, it can eat anything – flower-buds, paint, soap, wood, and even shoe polish. When there is nothing available, it can live without food and water for months. Predatory animals keep away from it because its scent glands give out a dirty smell. Everything seems to favor the cockroach.
