A paragraph
- ... is the basic unit of your written answers
- ... a section of the text that usually expresses ONE idea
Starting a paragraph with a topic sentence
A standard paragraph starts with a topic sentece, which ...
- is usually a rather general statement
- has a direct, clear message (choose verb accordingly!)
- signals the kind of paragraph that will follow (an explanation, a list of examples, a definition of the problem ...)
- often asks or implies a question and promises an answer
Examples
| Topic sentence | The reader thinks: |
| I am clearly against a speed limit for several reasons! | What are these reasons? |
| There can only be three possible answers the British government may give. | What are these answers? Why can there only be three? |
| The events of last week were a terrible blow for those who love their freedom. | What happened? |
| It seems unbelievable, but there is no way to save Tibet's cultural heritage. | Why is it not possible? |
