Bad Topic Sentences
u Why does the second example fail?
It’s not a sentence – it’s a paragraph, but it took a paragraph to get to the point. AND, the point, when finally made, was vague and ambiguous. It was difficult to read and understand. If a writing is difficult to read and understand, it is NOT EFFECTIVE .

Clearly refer to ideas, subjects and objects throughout the text
u If we do not refer to ideas and things clearly and consistently throughout the text, the thread of meaning is lost and the chain (of ideas) is broken. This often results in the reader of your text being unsure what point you were making or being unable to follow your argument.
