UFS 211 TASK 4

Topic sentence
Based on my own words.

 There are about 6 stages of writing process. Firstly is getting ideas and inspiration, secondly Drafting, thirdly Revising, Fourth stages is Editing, fifth Proofreading, lastly Presenting.


But a good paragraph will include topic sentences, supporting sentences and concluding sentences.


A good topic sentence will tell the reader know what the story is about. A topic sentence tell the main point of the whole paragraph and supporting sentence to support the topic sentence with details and examples as proof of the topic sentence's point.


Example :
Money causes teenagers to feel stress. It makes them feel bad about themselves and envy other people. My friend, for instance, lives with her family and has to share a room with her sister, who is very cute and intelligent. This girl wishes she could have her own room and have a lot of stuff, but she can’t have these things because her family doesn’t have much money. Her family’s income is pretty low because her father is old and doesn’t go to work. Her sister is the only one who works. Because her family can’t buy her the things she wants, she feels a lot of stress and gets angry sometimes. Once, she wanted a beautiful dress to wear to a sweetheart dance. She asked her sister for some money to buy the dress. She was disappointed because her sister didn’t have money to give her. She sat in silence for a little while and then started yelling out loud. She said her friends got anything they wanted but she didn’t. Then she felt sorry for herself and asked why she was born into a poor family. Not having money has caused this girl to think negatively about herself and her family. It has caused a lot of stress in her life.
So the topic sentence for this paragraph : Money causes teenagers to feel stress.

A good topic sentence is always support by the supporting sentence:
It makes them feel bad about themselves and envy other people. My friend, for instance, lives with her family and has to share a room with her sister, who is very cute and intelligent. This girl wishes she could have her own room and have a lot of stuff, but she can’t have these things because her family doesn’t have much money. Her family’s income is pretty low because her father is old and doesn’t go to work. Her sister is the only one who works. Because her family can’t buy her the things she wants, she feels a lot of stress and gets angry sometimes. Once, she wanted a beautiful dress to wear to a sweetheart dance. She asked her sister for some money to buy the dress. She was disappointed because her sister didn’t have money to give her. She sat in silence for a little while and then started yelling out loud. She said her friends got anything they wanted but she didn’t. Then she felt sorry for herself and asked why she was born into a poor family. Not having money has caused this girl to think negatively about herself and her family. It has caused a lot of stress in her life.
Lastly, a paragraph must have Concluding Sentence that wraps up the whole point of the paragraph.
And the concluding sentence for this paragraph : It has caused a lot of stress in her life.
