- The topic sentence is one of the most important tools of writing a well-organized and clear essay. In the IELTS and TOEFL essays, the topic sentence is also a crucial part of your writing, as graders are looking for your ability to set up and organize the body paragraphs clearly for the reader.
In this video, we look at some dos and don’ts of writing a topic sentence, how to construct a good one, and what mistakes to avoid. We will look at some examples of good and not-so-good topic sentences.
Remember, the topic sentence is a key part of the cohesion & coherence score.

Thank you for this lesson! It would be a pleasure to watch more such videos with detailed analysis and examples in the future. Best regards
Can we have a grammatical template or a memoized formula (not necessary memorized words) to state our topic sentence .
I've got the question. I've to write the academic/scientific article on sociology and for me is easier write in passive but I've heard that it's only allowed in science papers, not humanities. So, which way is correct in sociological articles: using passive or active voice?
I agree
Great help
Dear Mr Adam, another great lesson.
I have a question about the thesis. When the IELTS essay question is mentioned that 'do you agree or disagree?' , Can we write I quote ''I believe....'' in the introduction or do we need to write ''whether I agree or disagree''. Because I got confused with some other essay lesson.
Let me begin by thanking you for these amazingly helpful videos. I am an English teacher in Turkey and I recommend your videos and website to all my students. One thing that confused me in this video was regarding the example paragraph into the 13th minute of the video. You suggested that the student who wrote the essay of universal language and loss of cultural diversity should remove the sentence that begins with " This certainly will result in a collapse of tourism industry ..." because it sticks out in the text as an irrelevant idea. However, the sentence prior to that focuses on cultural diversity as a principal reason of tourists' traveling to different countries. Doesn't that context provide the reason to keep that sentence?
Thanks for a great lesson, Adam
You r really a great person god bless u🙏
Dear teacher shall we put indent in the second paragraph too or not
Hey Adam
Can you provide us the most common writing topics for IELTS nowadays, please?
Also, Is there any link for Writing really good complex or compound sentence?
Hoping to get a reply from your side, sir☺️
Should I use The essayist opinion instead of I believe that?
dear sir. firstly I highly appreciate your lessen. secondly recently IDP writing examinners are giving low marks to applicants at Ielts exam in comparison with before. I starving to know your idea about this recent matter?
Am I allowed to write a title to the essay Iam writing, please?
Where were you the last three times I took the IELTS Test???
Is it also valid for reading any kind of books? Or is it different for those types of books?
@@WritetotheTop i am a great fan for you sir i wanna request you to make video on reading by showing all the innovative idea which used in reading .
I would appreciate you making a video on how to stay on topic so that I could teach my family instead of correcting their crap essays.
Great great work Amam.Thanks for these valuable tips on writing. Plz I have a confusion about whether or not to write your intention in the introduction of writing task 2 as .....This topic will discuss.......or something like that. Is it not inapt because obviously we are going to write whatever is asked . Could you please guide us regarding its relevance in order to get 7 or more bands in writing module.?
I beg your pardon for misspelling your name dear Adam.Thanks
Hello Adam, a useful lesson as always. I have two doubts in argumentative essays. I have seen many essays on the internet that supports both the sides of an argument. My doubt is is it a good idea if I support only one side of an argument throughout the essay. For example, an essay like some people think TV is good, others think TV is bad, what is your opinion. For this kind of essays can I write two paragraphs supporting TV?
My another doubt is regarding adverb clause. I have seen in one of your videos that you mentioned "while" in the beginning of a passage and "nonetheless" in the middle of the passage. " While it is evident that..., nonetheless..." "While" itself refers opposite idea will be followed. Then, why did you write nonetheless again? Please clear my doubts.
I am seriously waiting for particle clauses lesson from you. Could you please make a video on that.
Its Jeevani
He isn't God , so might made a mistake. However, I believe that in an argumentative essays you have to discuss both sides and give your opinion with some relevant examples.
Hope this will help.
Its Jeevani it isn’t a good idea to support or be in favour for both sides of the argument. It is ok but hard to elaborate as losing focus is more than likely. I don’t recommend that and as such only support one side of the argument in my opinion is the acceptable way.
2: nonetheless has a concession argument or a contrasting view. While the man left the football park feeling angry, he was able to apology to the station keeper nonetheless. I hope this helps. Thanks
Thanks, Adam. Typically I love your classes, but in this one, there is too much jumping back/forth between what does and does not work, which results in much confusion. Please only include what works and use three cohesive paragraph examples that remain on topic.
This definition stresses on the totality of environment, implying that every organism including human beings has its own environment.
Sir, kindly tell me that the present participle " implying " modifies which word in the above sentence. Is it modifying " this definition " or " the totality of environment " or the whole main clause " This definition stresses on the totality of environment " ? Sir, please please help me.....
Adam, what is coherent and cohesion?
amjad ali It means your ideas must be well organised and clear by using with proper linking words.
Hi Dear Adam, Thank you for your greatly useful notes. We wait for the " Gerund Verbs" video. I have a request. Could you please record some videos to show the real essays of the TOEFL exam takers and discuss about the common mistakes? It can help us to see how you always mention the notes and how we always make the same mistakes !!!!!
Dear Adam,
Hi, and I am thankful for your support. But I Think if it is possible, you choose a topic and write that topic as writing and explain your ideas about any part of writing.
Bro it is very nice. But I need to evaluate my essay. How can I send me my assay to u.
