Without hardwood there can be no success
Answers
Answer:
A topic sentence should contain the main idea of the paragraph, and should follow the same rules as the thesis statement. Writers should start by writing down one of the main ideas, in sentence form; the topic sentence should frame the paragraph.
The controlling idea shows the direction the paragraph will take. Here are some examples: Topic Sentence: There are many reasons why pollution in ABC Town is the worst in the world. The topic is "pollution in ABC Town is the worst in the world" and the controlling idea is "many reasons."
Top Tips
Remember: ONE paragraph, ONE idea!
State the purpose of the paragraph clearly in the topic sentence.
