successfully pursue technical or professional training in schools
conducted by the Department of Defense.

to make a regular appointment, or does he have an
emergency? (2) What's the problem? (3) What are the
symptoms? Give the patient a time for an appointment
today.

TOO MANY SIGNS AND SIGNALS

Repeat the underlined words.

Then read the story.

Mark usually only drives on the highway with his father.


Because he knows that he'll have to learn how to drive downtown
sometime, he decided to try it this morning. He looked at a city
street map in advance, but that didn't help him when he got
downtown.
The heavy traffic and all of the signs and signals
there confused him.
First, he drove the wrong way for two blocks on a one-way
street. He turned and got on a two-way street at the next
intersection. Then he saw that some red and blue lights were
flashing off and on behind him.
Finally he realized that an
emergency vehicle was following him. He had to slow down and
pullover to the side of the road while it passed.
Then he came to a railroad crossing. The lights there were
flashing, too. He knew that signal meant that he had to stop
because a train was coming. He looked both ways, but he couldn't
see it yet. He crossed the tracks carefully. Then he decided to
go home. He was tired of trying to drive and watch signs and
signals at the same time. He'll try it again another day.

WHAT'S THE TOPIC OF THE PARAGRAPH?

WHAT'S THE MAIN IDEA?

Read the paragraph; then write the topic and the main (most
important) idea.
EXAMPLE:

A fever can be a symptom of other problems. A


fever with an earache can mean that the person needs
to see a doctor and take stronger medicine. A fever
with a cough, a runny nose, and body aches can be more
than just a cold. A fever and a stomachache together
can be really bad.
Topic:
Main idea:

fever
.=------:------------------~
A fever can mean that there are other
problems.

1.

When you have colds, don't give them to other people.


Cover your nose when you sneeze, and cover your mouth when
you cough. Take your medicine, and follow your doctor's
advice. When you have a fever, or your cold gets worse,
stay home and rest. You'll get well quicker, and your

friends and family will be happier. They don't want to

catch your cold.

Topic:
Main idea:

78

2.

"Be careful of the driver in the car behind the car


ahead of you." This sentence looks confusing, but it's
one of the most important rules in safe driving. Other
drivers aren't the only ones who might be careless; we
might make a careless mistake on the highway, too. We
should worry about other drivers, but we should also be
sure that we're driving cautiously.
Topic:
Main idea:

3.

Many things decide what a speed limit sign should say.


One of them is the number of people who use the street,
road, or highway. Another is the places that those people
are going to. Are they traveling to work or to their homes?
Are they on vacation? The kind of street, road, or highway
also decides the speed limit. A high speed limit isn't safe
on a narrow, curved road with only two lanes. Because a
wide, straight road with many lanes is safer, the speed
limit on it can be higher.

Jim bought a new hose for his

yard at the U-Save Department Store


yesterday.

When he read the paper this

morning, he saw that the same kind of


hose was on sale at another store for
four dollars less.

He was unhappy

because he paid the regular price for


his hose, but he thought it was a
good one.
Later Jim fastened his new hose to
an outside faucet and turned on the
water.

The hose leaked!

He decided to

go back to the U-Save store and tell the


clerk that he didn't need a hose with a

The clerk took the leaky hose and


said, "I'll be happy to exchange this
for another hose."

When Jim told her

that he didn't want to exchange it, she


said, "Do you want me to credit your
account with the cost of the hose?"
He answered, "No, I'd like to get a
refund."

"I can certainly give back

your money," the clerk said.

"Do you

still have your sales slip?"

After Jim

showed it to her, she refunded his


money.

bought a hose exactly like the first
one.

TOPICS, MAIN IDEAS, AND TITLES

The topic of a paragraph is the subject that it deals with.


The
main idea states what the writer thinks is important about the
topic.
A title is a name that describes or identifies something such as
an article, a book, a movie, or a song.
Titles can be sentences,
phrases, or single words.
The title of this lesson is "Please
Give Me a Refund." What's the title of this exercise?
When you write a title, capitalize the first word, the last word,
all important words (adverbs, adjectives, nouns, pronouns, and
verbs), and all prepositions with five or more letters. Usually
we don't capitalize words like a, an, the, and, or, but, to,
from, 1.n, etc.
Read the paragraph.
First, write the topic.
Next, write the
main idea in a complete sentence. Then write a title above the
paragraph.
EXAMPLE:

Title:

The Job May Be Harder Than You Think.

You may think that it's easy to change a tire when


you know how. But you can know how to do something and
still not be able to do it.
It may be very difficult
to jack up the car or to loosen the nuts.
The spare
tire may not have enough air in it. You don't always
have the right tools.
Sometimes a job that should be
easy for you to do is really very difficult.

When you're driving, watch the speed limit signs. They
show different speeds in different places. On the important
highways, you can usually go 55 to 65 miles per hour, but
sometimes you have to slow down to 45 or 50 m.p.h. Around
schools, the speed limit is 20 m.p.h.
In most other parts
of the city, it's usually 30 or 35 m.p.h.
In places that
aren't very safe, the speed limit will be lower.

Title:
Mechanics have important jobs. Most people want to
keep their cars in good shape, and they need a mechanic who
can help them. They may know how to change the oil and fix
some small problems, but they usually can't do everything.
When something is wrong with the engine or some other
important part of the car, they have to call a mechanic.
Often only mechanics can find the problem and use the right
tools to fix it.

Department stores usually have their own credit cards, and
many banks have cards, too. People can use them in stores,
restaurants, garages, airports, hotels, and many other
places. Some people put too much on their charge accounts
and aren't able to pay for all of it when the bills come at
the end of the month.

WRITE THE MAIN IDEA AND A TITLE.

EXAMPLE:

Title:

Then write a title

Entertainment for Everyone

Different people enjoy different kinds of


entertainment. Children like to watch TV. They like
funny programs. Adults like sports on TV, and they
like going to movies, too. TV and movies have to give
a variety of entertainment for all ages, because not
everyone thinks that the same thing is entertaining.
Main idea:

Different people enjoy different kinds


of entertainment.

1.

Title:
When people like a restaurant, they usually recommend
it to their friends.
To some people, good service is the
most important thing. Others go back to their favorite
restaurant again and again because they really like one
dish on the menu or because they can get a wide variety of
food there. Everyone feels that his favorite place is the
best and is sure that his friends will like it, too.
Main idea:

141

2.

Title:
No one intends to hurt another person's feelings.
Most
of the time it's an accident. We don't usually mean to be
rude. Frequently we're impolite because we're busy or
careless, and we say or do the wrong thing without realizing
it. We should think carefully before we speak or do
something that might hurt someone's feelings.
Then the
other person won't get angry or upset, and we won't feel bad
and have to apologize.
Main idea:

3.

Title:
Some TV commercials are better than the regular
programs, and some are too boring to watch. Almost all are
loud, and almost everybody will tell you they don't enjoy
watching them. But some commercials are very entertaining,
and frequently everyone will enjoy seeing them and talking
about them. When this happens, the commercial sells a lot
and the company that paid for it is very happy. That's the
plan for all commercials, but only a few become popular.

accident.

Often people fail to do something right because they
don't follow instructions. Maybe they can't remember them,
or maybe they never read or heard them.
Sometimes
instructions are not clear and confuse people. Before they
start a job that's new to them, they should ask for
instructions and then follow them exactly. That way, they'll
save time.
They won'~ spend too much time on the job or do
it wrong and then have to do it again.

Garages usually give guarantees with most of their work.
The mechanics want satisfied customers. They'll do the work
on your car; then they'll work on it again without a charge
when there's still a problem. Customers are unhappy when
they have to pay for the same thing two times. A
dissatisfied customer will usually not return, and he'll also
tell all of his friends that they shoUldn't go to that
garage.

a.

Sometimes a mechanic isn't able to fix all of your car's


problems when you bring it in to the garage the first

Garages usually guarantee their work because they don't


want to lose customers. Most unhappy customers won't
return.
