# **How to Write a Strong Topic Sentence** Welcome to another class! In this lesson, we will begin writing our paragraph by focusing on its most important part: the **topic sentence**. A well-crafted topic sentence sets the foundation for the entire paragraph, ensuring clarity and direction. ## **What is a Topic Sentence?** A **topic sentence** is the first sentence of a paragraph that introduces the main idea. It helps the reader understand what the paragraph is about and sets the stage for the supporting details. A strong topic sentence contains two essential elements: * **A Clear Topic** – The subject of the paragraph. * **A Main Idea** – The specific point or opinion about the topic. ### **Example of a Strong Topic Sentence** Let's say the general topic is **fruits**. To be more specific, we choose **bananas** as our focus. A well-written topic sentence could be: > *"I love bananas because they are convenient, delicious, and nutritious."* * **Topic:** Bananas * **Main Idea:** Explaining why bananas are convenient, delicious, and nutritious This topic sentence clearly introduces the subject and provides a direction for the paragraph. ## **Common Mistakes to Avoid When Writing a Topic Sentence** When crafting your topic sentence, be mindful of these common mistakes: ### **1. Avoid Using Facts as a Topic Sentence** Facts are too specific and do not allow room for development. #### *Example of a Weak Topic Sentence:* > *"One out of ten people doesn’t eat fruits."* * This statement is a fact, not an opinion or an argument that can be expanded on. * A fact does not provide a clear direction for the paragraph. ### **2. Avoid Being Too General** A topic that is too broad can make it difficult to focus your paragraph. #### *Example of a Weak Topic Sentence:* > *"Fruits are good."* * This statement is too vague. * There are many aspects of fruits that could be discussed, making it difficult to write a focused paragraph. A stronger topic sentence would specify which fruit and why it is good. ### **3. Avoid Announcing Your Topic** A common mistake is explicitly stating what the paragraph will discuss. This makes writing less engaging. #### *Example of a Weak Topic Sentence:* > *"In this paragraph, I am going to talk about fruits."* * This approach is unnecessary because a well-constructed topic sentence naturally introduces the subject without an announcement. ## **Practice Exercise: Write Your Own Topic Sentence** Now that you understand how to write a strong topic sentence and what mistakes to avoid, it's time to practice! 1. **Choose a topic** that interests you. 2. **Make it specific** by focusing on one aspect of the topic. 3. **Write a topic sentence** that includes both a clear topic and a main idea. ### *Example Topics:* * **Topic:** Dogs → **Topic Sentence:** *"Dogs make great pets because they are loyal, intelligent, and provide companionship."* * **Topic:** Traveling → **Topic Sentence:** *"Traveling helps people learn about new cultures, try different foods, and gain new perspectives on life."* ## **Conclusion** A strong topic sentence is essential for writing a well-structured paragraph. It should be clear, specific, and avoid common mistakes such as using facts, being too general, or announcing the topic. Now it’s your turn! Choose a topic and write your topic sentence in the comments. See you in the next class! 🚀

A topic sentence consists of a clear subject and a main idea that expresses what the paragraph will discuss. It usually appears at the beginning of the paragraph and should avoid being too specific or too general. Instead, it should directly state the topic without introductory phrases. For example, instead of saying, "In this paragraph, I will talk about fruits," you could say, "Bananas are my favorite fruit because they are convenient, delicious, and nutritious." This approach helps set the tone for the rest of the paragraph.

Second language learning is best done if you use full input material. Booklets with filling exercises can be helpful to practice and to test the student's knowledge in grammar, but there are several aspects outside knowing the syntax. Getting exposed to full texts, audio or video can help students know better about how native speakers (or even non-native ones) use the language, the customs, formal or informal ways of communication, among other aspects.
