Lesson 3
Practice Exercise 1|Read each paragraph below. Find and write the supporting detail that does not
contribute to the controlling idea.
1. Jason’s face was twisted with pain. He limped slowly toward the ambulance. Tears stained his
grimy face. Jason was an outstanding athlete. One arm hung at his side. A cut over his left eye
oozed blood.
2. Above all things Rema was a scholar. Even her physical appearance gave this impression. She
was thin, thoughtful, and wore eyeglasses. She had many friends. Rema looked forward to the
years of studying that were before her.
3. Wind chill is an estimate of how cold the wind feels in cold weather. The faster the wind blows,
the faster the body loses heat. Wearing a hat helps to prevent heat loss. When the temperature
is 10℉. (-12℃.) and the wind blows at twenty miles per hour, it feels much colder.
4. Wrestling is a sport where two opponents try to pin each other’s shoulders to the mat. A good
wrestling match displays many different kinds of holds. Once a wrestler is pinned, the match is
over. George was a wrestler.
5. Young people and women are often accused of being poor drivers. This criticism is unfair and
inaccurate. Insurance records show that women are better drivers than men as a rule. Driving
too fast is quite dangerous. Some young people are not as careful as they should be behind the
wheel. Most young people, however, have very good driving records and should be judged
individually like everyone else.

Lesson 3
Can we please educate ourselves that animals should not be kept in cages. Animals should not be kept in
filthy, cramped cages unable to even spread their wings. They need to move, to run and jump, to have
enriching lives. They are sentient beings. They are meant to be out in their own natural habitat, not stuck
in cages. They need their natural habitat and open space. They are wild and should live in the wild if you
want pleasure go and have a wank or finger blast yourself.
