1
00:00:00,420 --> 00:00:00,780
Okay.

2
00:00:00,780 --> 00:00:03,600
Let's go over a few more topics sentences.

3
00:00:03,900 --> 00:00:05,880
Remember when we were doing a topic sentence?

4
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:13,590
We have to include the general subject, the author's position and the controlling idea.

5
00:00:14,100 --> 00:00:15,930
The controlling idea.

6
00:00:16,530 --> 00:00:25,980
So with these next topic sentences is very important that you pay attention to the outline on the right

7
00:00:26,010 --> 00:00:33,330
hand side of the screen, because that really helps you to see how I'm structuring the topic sentences.

8
00:00:33,570 --> 00:00:43,530
So this first one deals with the scientific research being the responsibility of governments or commercial

9
00:00:43,530 --> 00:00:44,670
organizations.

10
00:00:44,700 --> 00:00:46,680
This is an agree or disagree question.

11
00:00:48,270 --> 00:00:55,140
And so when we look at the topic sentences, this first topic sentence here for a body, paragraph one

12
00:00:55,140 --> 00:00:58,710
is for this controlling idea about bias.

13
00:00:58,950 --> 00:01:02,310
So it's very direct and this is really all you need to do.

14
00:01:02,910 --> 00:01:08,300
Since governments are absent of bias, they should control scientific direction.

15
00:01:08,310 --> 00:01:09,210
That's it.

16
00:01:10,830 --> 00:01:19,830
That is a very direct, beautifully written topic sentence that will score very, very well by paragraph

17
00:01:19,860 --> 00:01:20,430
two.

18
00:01:21,300 --> 00:01:25,230
It relates to the government owing a public duty a second.

19
00:01:25,230 --> 00:01:33,030
But equally important point highlights that government owes a duty to citizens, so they should manage

20
00:01:33,030 --> 00:01:35,700
scientific investigation.

21
00:01:36,450 --> 00:01:45,660
Again, there we have a strong direct topic sentence and that one is done with a compound sentence is

22
00:01:45,660 --> 00:01:46,890
done with a compound sentence.

23
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:52,960
So it's always good to just keep reminding the examiners of your ability.

24
00:01:52,980 --> 00:01:53,370
Right.

25
00:01:53,370 --> 00:01:56,340
We don't want to write just all simple sentences.

26
00:01:59,190 --> 00:02:00,180
For this next one.

27
00:02:00,180 --> 00:02:07,350
We're dealing with the face to face, with the face to face communication being more powerful than written

28
00:02:07,350 --> 00:02:08,670
text communication.

29
00:02:08,700 --> 00:02:11,160
To what extent do you agree or disagree?

30
00:02:11,730 --> 00:02:13,950
So this one is completely agree.

31
00:02:14,740 --> 00:02:22,600
And the first topic sentence is for the first body paragraph that deals with agreement based on building

32
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:23,290
trust.

33
00:02:24,130 --> 00:02:25,540
So it reads face to face.

34
00:02:25,570 --> 00:02:30,820
Verbal exchange carries more weight than written text because it builds trust to a higher degree.

35
00:02:31,150 --> 00:02:31,930
There we go.

36
00:02:32,830 --> 00:02:34,300
Complex sentence.

37
00:02:34,540 --> 00:02:38,830
We have really good phrase of language that carries more weight.

38
00:02:39,670 --> 00:02:40,360
Right?

39
00:02:40,570 --> 00:02:41,320
Face to face.

40
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:41,680
Verbal.

41
00:02:41,860 --> 00:02:43,420
Verbal exchange.

42
00:02:44,570 --> 00:02:46,060
That's a really good collocation there.

43
00:02:46,070 --> 00:02:51,770
Higher degree, great collocation, strength and relationships, great collocation by the paragraph

44
00:02:51,770 --> 00:02:52,430
two.

45
00:02:52,700 --> 00:02:55,180
In addition to the above points.

46
00:02:55,190 --> 00:02:58,040
That's how we build the connection between the paragraphs.

47
00:02:58,250 --> 00:03:00,110
Man to man deliberations.

48
00:03:00,110 --> 00:03:03,710
Great vocabulary word strengthen relationships.

49
00:03:04,070 --> 00:03:08,090
Good collocation beyond the capacity of words to paper.

50
00:03:08,390 --> 00:03:10,340
Another way of saying written text.

51
00:03:10,940 --> 00:03:11,810
It's important.

52
00:03:11,810 --> 00:03:19,850
Important that we able to show the examiner as much vocabulary range as we can, and that's something

53
00:03:19,850 --> 00:03:22,850
that impresses them and will raise your score.

54
00:03:24,830 --> 00:03:26,780
Now topic centers, number eight.

55
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:27,950
All right.

56
00:03:28,100 --> 00:03:31,990
It's the same as as as topic sensitive topics.

57
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,070
Topic centers, example six.

58
00:03:34,100 --> 00:03:34,700
Same.

59
00:03:34,700 --> 00:03:43,850
Same question in terms of face to face communication, except here we're dealing with the partially

60
00:03:44,330 --> 00:03:47,090
agree situation.

61
00:03:47,090 --> 00:03:53,240
And really for this one, the main thing I want to point out is how you can see what body, paragraph

62
00:03:53,240 --> 00:04:02,330
number two is perfectly fine to write your body paragraph using a question can one favor entirely person

63
00:04:02,330 --> 00:04:09,500
to person discussions when written language aids in recording details contained within dialogue.

64
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:14,540
That is perfectly fine to do that sometimes.

65
00:04:15,110 --> 00:04:18,800
Students have asked me in the past is is that something that's acceptable?

66
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,560
And it is if it's done the correct way.

67
00:04:23,630 --> 00:04:23,990
All right.

68
00:04:23,990 --> 00:04:27,860
So topic sentence number nine, set number nine.

69
00:04:27,860 --> 00:04:32,900
This is the advantage disadvantage question with bringing your family overseas when you travel for work.

70
00:04:33,740 --> 00:04:37,640
Now, for this one, it's asking to give your opinion.

71
00:04:37,790 --> 00:04:44,030
And so I actually have three body paragraphs, but the word count is still under 300.

72
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,300
The word count is still under 300.

73
00:04:47,660 --> 00:04:57,920
In fact, every example essay that I'm writing or I have written so far, everything is going to be

74
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,130
under 300 because that's your goal.

75
00:05:01,970 --> 00:05:05,720
You don't want to write 350 400 words.

76
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,210
That's that's not going to be helpful to you.

77
00:05:08,210 --> 00:05:10,850
It doesn't that's not something that impresses the grader.

78
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:18,560
They want they they want you to write within a shorter word limit because they want to see if you can

79
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:19,850
write concisely.

80
00:05:21,620 --> 00:05:24,320
So for this one, I have a third body paragraph.

81
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:29,750
Now it's smaller than body paragraphs one and two is smaller than body paragraphs one and two.

82
00:05:29,750 --> 00:05:34,100
Only three sentences when you when you see the full essay.

83
00:05:34,970 --> 00:05:38,240
But clearly body one is going to talk about benefits.

84
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,550
Body two we'll talk about the drawbacks.

85
00:05:40,550 --> 00:05:44,330
And then body three will express the writer's opinion.

86
00:05:46,930 --> 00:05:50,110
Lastly topic sentence set ten.

87
00:05:50,410 --> 00:05:54,670
And we have this is the question about choosing a resource.

88
00:05:54,670 --> 00:05:58,720
And I chose trees for environmental benefits and human benefits.

89
00:05:59,050 --> 00:06:06,130
So for body paragraph one, it reads One reason to choose trees relates to environmental benefits and

90
00:06:06,130 --> 00:06:07,840
embody paragraph two.

91
00:06:08,620 --> 00:06:09,880
Look at that first phrase.

92
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:17,350
That's how again, how we build coherence between paragraphs included alongside environmental benefits.

93
00:06:17,590 --> 00:06:22,810
Trees provide human advantages that merit their higher protection status.

94
00:06:24,170 --> 00:06:26,110
That's a strong topic sentence.

95
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:30,710
A lot of great vocabulary, a lot of great word combinations.

96
00:06:31,530 --> 00:06:32,040
Right.

97
00:06:32,280 --> 00:06:33,850
No weak verbs here.

98
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:38,460
And with that with with either one of those two topic sentences.

99
00:06:40,470 --> 00:06:40,920
All right.

100
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:47,640
So I hope that you have a much greater grasp on how to write topic sentences.

101
00:06:47,970 --> 00:06:57,990
I think it's really important that you mimic the style that I'm using and really avoid making so many

102
00:06:57,990 --> 00:07:03,300
of the mistakes that students, students commit when writing topic sentences.

103
00:07:03,450 --> 00:07:09,750
Coming up next, we're going to write body paragraphs and the conclusions.

104
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:10,800
Thanks a lot.

105
00:07:10,830 --> 00:07:15,690
Have a wonderful day and I'll talk to you in the next lecture.
