Default Re: topic sentence

Outline #3 is my choice. :wink: A topic sentence can occur at the beginning of a paragraph, in the middle of the paragraph or at the end of the paragraph. The former, though, is more common than the latter two.

Quote:
Some of the foundation work for a more just, sustainable future has a very high profile, ringing resonantly in the fine speeches of the world leaders, advocated passionately by the massed groups of environmental and development organizations, amplified with increasing authority by the world's media. Despite the media's tendency to leap from one fashionable cause to the next (from world hunger to AIDS to the environment), it would be narrow-minded to deny their part in increasing environmental awareness. It is easier to be "green" today than ever before.
Why is it easier to be "green" today than ever before? Here's the evidence: it's popular. X is in speeches, X is advocated by organizations, and the media even sells it.

All the best, :D
