Thank you very much!
YOUR LESSON IS BRILLIANT FOR ME, I REALLY RECOMMEND THE OTHERS TO WATCH IT.
ACTUALLY I HAVE A QUESTION HOW COULD WE DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN A TOO GENERAL TOPIC SENTENCE AND TOO SPECIFIC ONE? BECAUSE IN BOTH OF THEM WE CANNOT WRITE IDEAS WE FACE DIFFICULTIES TO WRITE OUR NEXT SENTENCES. I WILL BE HAPPY IF YOU ANSWER MY QUESTION.
Thank you for your kind words!
As for the topic sentence, remember if your topic is too general (ex Travel), it will have NO controlling idea. The controlling idea is what narrows your focus.
For example, if you write something like this: Traveling is wonderful - that is too general. You can narrow the focus by writing this: Traveling on a budget is quite simple.That topic sentence tells the reader you will talk about traveling and focus on doing it inexpensively. From there you can give a few examples of how to do this.
Hopefully, this helps😃.
@@WorldwideSpeak thanks again
I really appreciate your answer to me.
@@meriemrahal9368 You are very welcome! We are thankful to have you learning with us😀.

Subject, Verb, Object. Sentence.
Hello alot of people say the first sentence is the topic sentence but inside a introduction paragraph not it's not we have to remember that the Hook is the first sentence in the introduction because it grabs the readers attention to keep reading then u have your topic sentence
You are correct that in an introduction paragraph - the first sentence is typically the "hook". And for that matter, the conclusion paragraph typically begins with a re-stated thesis.
The topic sentence - as I taught it here - is for a simple paragraph. We use the topic sentence for our body paragraphs when we write essays. It keep our paragraphs focus and easy to read.
Hope this helps! Thank you for learning with us 😃.
Windy, you are charismatic in terms of writing.
Would you mind suggesting me some inevitably important books on academic and grammar?
Thank you for your kind words! Are looking for books that teach English grammar? And what sort of academic books are you looking for? Once I know more, I am happy to make some suggestions. 😃
@@WorldwideSpeak Respected ma'am, I look for autentic grammar which should deal with writing aspects and come as a resource for teacher to teach different concepts of grammar. Moreover, I need an academic writing book which should touch upon the essay writing, types of essays, sentence, sentence improvement, paragraph writing, types of paragraphs and likewise aspects.
I have done masters in English literature and linguistics and I feel it absolutely privileged to mention that I have been hugely inspired by your teaching.
❤❤❤❤
I have a query regarding the Topic sentence & Thesis statement , beside the literature These can be found in technical/expository text ?(excuse any typo)
Tq 💕💕💕👌👌👌👌👌👌
Thank you!
Not sure if it is Saturday morning or afternoon or night
الله يعين
جيد
I really do like your effort in explaining the steps of writing a topic sentence. But, can you do us a favor and provide us with a whole paragraph through which you explain the controlling idea. Accept my regards
I will look into that!
Okk
Is the topic sentence like the the thesis?
Yes! A thesis is the sentence in an essay which gives the main idea of the essay. The topic sentence gives the main idea of a paragraph.
