Exercise of Main Idea Elaboration

The previous blog discussed about the components in an essay and also how the structure of the content is supposed to be. As mentioned, for the body, each paragraph must have a main idea with its supporting ideas.

Reinforcement Exercise
Elaborate the following main ideas.

1. Smoking is hazardous to health.
2. Deforestation can cause global warming.
3. Recycling is important to save our mother earth.

Recall what you have learnt from the previous blog on the basic ways to elaborate a main point. Use "wh-" questions and give some (concrete) examples. Try to do this exercise and try ask your teacher to help you mark them for grammatical mistakes.

I will demonstrate how I elaborate those main ideas on the next blog. Try to elaborate them on your own. Enjoy trying!
