TOPIC SENTENCE

Two (2) paragraphs with topic sentences in two (2) different locations.

Paragraph 1

Topic Sentence: Problematic youngsters are a bad influence on innocent youth.

Problematic youngsters are a bad influence on innocent youth. Inadequate

parental guidance to educate children on the right path and the negative
influence of television programmes, which depict violence and hatred, are all to
blame for this worrying upward trend.

“There is insufficient inculcation of noble values to enable our

youth to make right and proper decisions.” Lee said with the availability of
technology and social media, the ease in which one could commit a crime is also
to blame for this upward trend among youth.

Paragraph 3: Cohesive Devices

Eating behaviors evolve during the first years of life as biological and behavioral
processes directed towards meeting requirements for health and growth. For the
vast majority of human history, food scarcity has constituted a major threat to
survival, and human eating behavior and child feeding practices have evolved in
response to this threat. Because infants are born into a wide variety of cultures

and cuisines, they come equipped as young omnivores with a set of behavioral
predispositions that allow them to learn to accept the foods made available to
them. During historical conditions of scarcity, family life and resources were
devoted to the procurement and preparation of foods, which are often low in
energy, nutrients, and palatability. In sharp contrast, today in non-Third World
countries children's eating habits develop under unprecedented conditions of
dietary abundance, where palatable, inexpensive, ready-to-eat foods are readily
available.
