Summer is a wonderful time to spend at West Beach. It is a beach with light- colored, soft
sand. The coastline goes on for a long way and many people enjoy walking along it. Children
like to play in the surf and walk along the rocks that are visible at low tide. This is a fun
beach for people of all ages.
In this paragraph:
the topic is
the main idea (what the writer is saying about the topic).
Example 1:
The movie Apollo 13 was a blockbuster for the summer of 1995. It is an exciting story about
space exploration. In the movie, the astronauts get in trouble while they are trying to return
to Earth. People in the audience are on the edge of their seats waiting to see what happens.
What makes it even more exciting is that it is a true story.

the main idea is in the first sentence: was a blockbuster for the summer of 1995
Example 2:
Most teenagers and young adults do not know what they want to do for the rest of their
lives. It is a big decision. There are a number of things you can do to narrow the choices. For
example you can take an interest test, do some research on your own about a career, try
volunteer work in the field in which you are interested, or “job-shadow”, in which you spend
a day with a person who is working in a field that interests you. These are just a few helpful
ideas as you begin to choose a career.

Example 3:
The United States seems to be in love with the idea of going out to eat. Because of this, a
real variety of restaurants has come about specializing in all kinds of foods. McDonald’s is
the king of a subgroup of restaurants called fast-food restaurants. Chances are, no matter
where you live, there is a McDonald’s restaurant near you. There are even McDonald’s in
the Soviet Union. Now McDonald’s is trying something new. It is called McDonald’s Express
and there is a test site in Peabody, Massachusetts. It is part of a Mobil gas station. This allows
you to fill up with gas and fill up on food at the same time. What will they think of next?
