    😀Hi everyone! Thanks for watching! Please don't forget to show your support and give this video some love! And let me know if you have any questions.
    ✍ PRACTICE:
    Write topic sentences for the following writing prompts:
    What are the best ways to improve your English at home? (write just 1 paragraph)
    What are the reasons people should go to college? (write an essay; you will need 2-4 topic sentences)
    Share in the comments!
    TIPS:
    1. Use the formula: The first reason/step/benefit of ... is ...
    2. Include the topic, controlling idea, and key point of the paragraph.
    3. If you're writing topic sentences for an essay, add variety by using synonyms and/or moving the key point to the front.

    There are three best ways to improve English at home : listening online, taking test, practicing daily
    The first best way to improve English at home is by listening online .
    The next useful way to improve English at home is by taking a test and analysing our mistakes.
    The Third best way to improve English at home is by practicing English speaking daily.
    You come up with a right topic at right time ma'am. I have an English test tomorrow and this might be very helpful.
    Thank you so much!!

    • @LearnAcademicEnglish
      @LearnAcademicEnglish  10 місяців тому +1

      You need to make an outline. For every paragraph, you need 1 main idea and then 2-3 supporting ideas to explain your main idea. Go to my Writing Playlist and look for my video about how to write an essay--I think it will help you.

    Hi Gina, can you explain the conclusion? How developed the great conclusion, thank you

    • @LearnAcademicEnglish
      @LearnAcademicEnglish  Рік тому

      The conclusion should not be long. Follow these steps:
      1. Restate the thesis statement in some different words. 1-2 sentences
      2. Summarize the main points of the essay. Try to repeat the main idea from each body paragraph, but use some different words. 2-4 sentences
      3. Finish with a final thought. This is usually a prediction about the future or a suggestion. 1-2 sentences
      I hope this helps!
      I will make a video with more information about how to do it.
