Keep learning College writing skills with readings.

Practice the homework, to find the topic and main point.

[] for the topic, () for main point

Sample:

[Our company president] (should be fired for three main reasons.)
[Owning a pet] (has several important benefits.)

Practice:

• Having to [care for a child] (requires hard work, commitment, and patience.)
• [Celebrities are often poor role models] (because of the ways they dress, talk, and behave.)

Why should do this

A good essay always needs a thesis or main point, the writer needs to express the thesis and then he/she can keep writing.

And a good thesis or point does two things:

• tells reader an essay's topic
• presents the writer's attitude, opinion, idea, or point about the topic.

How to practice

Try the method I mentioned at the beginning of this note.

Read and collect other's topics with the main point.
