4. Specific Skill Development

In every paragraph of a selection we read, there is one sentence that gives the most
importance or tells what the paragraph all about. This sentence is called the key sentence,
the topic sentence or the main idea.

The selection we read is composed of 10 paragraphs. Match the paragraph number in
column A with the topic sentence in column B. write your answers in your notebook.

A B

Paragraph 1 a. Synchronized sleep relaxes a dreamer.

Paragraph 2 b. A persons surrounding affects his/her dreams.

Paragraph 3 c. Dreams is a mental activity.

Paragraph 4 d. Dreams involve continuous activities in the brain.

Paragraph 5 e. The world of dreams is mysterious.

Paragraph 6 f. Dreams inspire writers.

Paragraph 8 h. Researchers studied the two kinds of sleep in 1953.

Paragraph 9 i. Theres nothing to fear in dreaming.

Paragraph 10 j. A persons emotion affects ones dreams.

5. Practice

Read each paragraph then encircle the sentence that gives the main idea.

a. Exercise helps keep our bodies strong and in good working condition. When we exercise,
we perspire. Perspiration is the process by which our bodies get rid of body wastes
through the skin. Exercise makes us breathe deeply. When we breathe deeply our lungs
take in more air. It makes our blood flow fast. These are the immediate results of
exercise.

b. Water is one commodity that man cannot do without. It is used at home for cooking mans
food, washing his clothes, cleaning himself and the things around him. It is used to put
out fires, too. In the transportation industry, it is used by boats, bancas, ships and
launches. Logs and other products are transported to the mills through waterways. Water
is home to many animals, too.

c. Shells are found wherever there is seashore. In fact, there so many of them that their
variety is also surprising. Anyone who is interested in studying shells will be surprised to
find that there is much to know about shells.

d. There are many kinds of shells but generally they can be grouped in only two classes.
Those that have two shells like the mussels, clams and oysters. Then, there are those
that only have single shell such as the winkles, conchs, and cowries.

e. Some shells have beautiful colors and forms. Some of their forms and designs are
intricate or complex. The chambered nautilus is a beautiful shell whose sections are
formed as the nautilus grows in size. Other shells look peculiar and odd. In terms of
weight shells vary, too. There are small and tiny shells but there are also big and heavy
ones. While some shells coverings are shiny and polished, a few are warty and rough. In
fact, some of them are covered with knobs and spines.
