Topic Sentences
• Topic sentences have two parts:– The topic– A controlling idea
• Topic sentences are complete sentences.• Topic sentences should be general.
Good Topic Sentences
• Example:Hyemi owns a coffee shop in Gungdong that is
popular with university students.Topic: Hyemi
Controlling idea: owns a coffee shop in Gungdong that is popular
with university students.
Bad Topic Sentences
• Hyemi’s coffee shop.– Sentence is incomplete
• Hyemi owns a coffee shop– Too general
• Hyemi owns a coffee shop in Gungdong frequented by university students who spend an average of \12,500 per visit.– Too specific
Supporting sentences
• Supporting sentences expand the idea of the topic sentence by either explaining, developing, or proving the controlling idea.
• This is usually performed by using statistics, examples , or quotations.
Good supporting sentences
• The average check of a student in a coffee shop in Gungdong is \3,500 but the average check of a university student in Hyemi’s coffee shop is \12,500.
• Hyemi’s coffee shop is frequently busy when other coffee shops in proximity are empty.
• “My friends and I love Hyemi’s coffee shop.” said Eunjoo “The coffee is freshly roasted and the free wi-fi makes it a good place to study and relax.”

The average check of a student in a coffee shop in Gungdong is \3,500 but the average check of a university student in Hyemi’s coffee shop is \12,500. “My friends and I love Hyemi’s coffee shop.” said Eunjoo “The coffee is freshly roasted and the free wi-fi makes it a good place to study and relax.” With great coffee, wi-fi, and Chungnam University and KAIST nearby, it’s easy too see why Hyemi’s coffee shop is popular.

happening now)3. Tell how you feel.
