 Hello, welcome everyone. Today, we have our latest ELC video about paragraph hooks in essays and revising topic sentences. Watch this video to do better in your final writing assessment. OK, I'm sure you all remember what a topic sentence is. That's right, it's a sentence that expresses the main idea of the paragraph in which it occurs. OK, so here's an example topic sentence from an essay titled Discuss the problems caused by the overconsumption of chocolate and provides some solutions to address this issue. One impact caused by the consumption of low quality chocolate with a high sugar content is the prevalence of obesity in those populations with high chocolate intake. Some questions. Is the paragraph about problems or solutions? What is the paragraph about? What would be the content? Pause the video if you need time to think about it. OK, answers next. Yes, it's about problems and the paragraph is about the low quality chocolate leading to obesity. OK, next paragraph. While obesity is one issue caused by the overconsumption of chocolate, another disturbing impact is that if chocolate is given to pets, it can lead to their poisoning. This sentence starts with a paragraph hook, coloured yellow, and then it has the topic sentence in white. The paragraph hook links back to the previous paragraph. You can see it talks about the problem of obesity. And this paragraph, it's another problem and the dangers to pets if they eat chocolate. OK, both paragraph hooks and topic sentences are very important in the overall organisation of your essay. Use them and get a higher grade. Right, remember that the ELC is here to help you. Different ways are on the final screen now. Most importantly, stay safe and have fun at university. OK, that's it from me. If you have questions, please ask your class teacher. Thanks for listening. Remember to attend this week's class for more practice in all areas.
