Section #2
Menentukan “Topic” dan “Main Idea”
Example:
Does watching violence on TV make people more prone to violence
themselves?. Obviously, TV violence has some negative effects. One
study found that heavy TV watchers are more fearful of others. They try
to protect themselves with guns, alarm systems, and security locks on
doors. In the same study, it was found that heavy TV watchers are less
upset about real-life violence than are non-TV watchers. All of the
violence they see on TV makes them less sensitive to the real thing. A
recent study also found that TV violence increases aggressive behavior
in kids and makes them more likely to select toy guns rather than kinds
of toys.

TOPIC
Topic adalah subjek pembicaraan secara
umum dari sebuah teks.
Topic itu bukan berupa kalimat, tetapi berupa
kata atau frasa.
Cara menentukan topic:
1. Tanyakan kepada diri sendiri”tentang apa
teks tersebut secara keseluruhan?”
2. Apa yang penulis ajarkan kepada saya?
Ide Utama (main idea)
• Ide Utama (main idea) bisa berbentuk kalimat lengkap yang di dalamnya
berisi bagian dari topik pembicaraan. Main Idea yang dituliskan dalam
bentuk kalimat bisa juga disebut topic sentence.
• Cara menentukan Ide utama:
1. Tanyakan kepada diri anda, apa yang penulis ingin saya ketahui tentang
topic ini?
2. Carilah kalimat yang menyatakan gagasan utama. Biasanya berada di
awal atau akhir paragraph
3. Kadang-kadang main idea tidk akan dinyatakan secara langsung dalam
bentuk satu kalimat. Hal ini disebut “ide utama tersirat”
4. Carilah pernytaan umum yang dapat merangkum kalimat topik, hindari
detail!
