What makes a good topic sentence?
A good topic sentence is specific enough to give a clear sense of what to expect from the paragraph, but general enough that it doesn’t give everything away. You can think of it like a signpost: it should tell the reader which direction your argument is going in.
What is narrowing down a topic?
It’s a process of working from the outside in: you start with the world of all possible topics (or your assigned topic) and narrow down until you’ve focused your interest enough to be able to tell precisely what you want to find out, instead of only what you want to “write about.”

How do you develop a topic?
Develop a Topic and Create a Concept Map
- Write down your topic as a broad sentence or question. Example: Do video games cause violence in children?
- Identify the main words or concepts in your sentence or question.
- Brainstorm alternative words you can use for each of your keywords in Step 2.
- Identify subject areas relevant to your topic.
- Create a Concept Map.
Who should be introduced first?
First, introduce men and boys to women and girls; and younger people to older people. In translation, this means to mention first the name of the person to whom you’re making the introduction. (When the introduction involves two people of the same sex and approximately the same age, the order doesn’t matter.)
