Topic Sentences

In the following paragraphs, identify the topic sentence and the

key words in the topic sentence that the other sentences support.

1.   John Bookmeyer is a versatile, well-rounded boy. In

addition to singing in his church choir, he is a drummer in a

small combo. He maintains a high average in his subjects at

school and still manages to play football and run on the track

team. Although he is very popular with other young people, he

doesn't let his social life interfere with his weekend job at the

drugstore.

Topic Sentence:  John Bookmeyer is a versatile, well-rounded boy

. It is description about John Bookmeyer's life.

  2.   The first thing I noticed about the school was the litter

in the schoolyard. Trash and paper were scattered everywhere. The

building, which could have been very attractive despite its age,

was dingy and dirty beyond belief. A window -pane was broken out

of the main door, and the door itself led into a dark, for

bidding hall. As I walked down the hall, I noticed the messy

bulletin board and, in several places, writing on the wall. No

one greeted me when I entered the outer office, although a

receptionist was sitting there noisily chewing a huge wad of gum

and putting on fingernail polish. All in all. I couldn't help

feeling that the school was poorly cared for. 

Topic Sentence: that the school was poorly cared for

. The writer is describing how poorly is its school.

3.   Through the fog the arc lights high above the stadium

looked like small moons from the field below. The lights were

reflected all over the marshy field in pools of water, an

accumulation of twenty four hours of steady drizzle. Despite

lengthy warm-up drills, the players now felt the cold and

dampness beginning to penetrate. They were either huddled

together or dancing up and down to keep warm-- that is, all

except our first-string quarterback and our all-state offensive

end, both of whom were out of the game with injuries. They sat

glumly on the bench wrapped in soggy woolen blankets, Conditions

could hardly have been worse for this crucial game.

Topic Sentence: it hasn't a explicit topic sentence, but the writer

tell about a football game describing everything that happened in the

stadium (environment, climate, physical and psychologically.

This was a good activity becase with topic sentences we quickly find what's a text about ^^

Movie Review

   "Toy Story 3"

"Toy Story 3" is the third installment of the Toy Story´s saga. Directed by Lee Unkrich and produced by Pixar Animation. This Movie was in cinemas on June 18th, 2010. It was a very succesfull movie.

The character's voices were made by Woody (Tom Hanks), Buzz (Tim Allen), Ken ( Michael Keaton), Sr. Pricklepants (Timothy Dalton), and a teddy bear called Lots-o'-Huggin' (Ned Beatty).

This movie has good effects because it was made with computer technology (by Pixar Animation) and it was made in 3D too. The music was provided by Randy Newman, singer of the known song and Toy Story soundtrack "You’ve Got a Friend in Me”

In the previous Toy Story movies, Andy (a toy group owner), was a little kid. Their toys were alive! and they had many adventures like getting lost in the city and having to find a way to back home while Andy's family was moving. Now in Toy Story 3 they are in trouble because Andy grew up and he soon has to go to college.

After Andy's gone, his mom gave his toys to a kindergarten by mistake and because of that this toys, leaded by Woody and Buzz, must live there. Inside of the kindergarten they have many nice and horrible adventures trying to back home, where appear new characters (new toys) like Lotso and Ken.

This movie is special for kids but can be funny and good for adults too, because the main theme is friendship and be loyal with our friends, about making links and find solutions together.

I really like the movie, Because I saw the Toy Story saga since I was a child and I give it four of five starts. I dislike the end because I really expected something more.

Justin Timberlake.

Justin Randall Timberlake was born in Tennessee, United States, on january 31st in 1981. he is a great singer, dancer, actor and businessman.

Besides being an excellent singer and dancer he is a very noble person because through his fame he organize many charity events.

He is handsome! He is tall, he has a perfect body, short blond hair, blue eyes and a beautiful smile.

I love and admire him because I listen to his music since I was a little girl, when he sang in N*sync boy band. I always like him and his voice.

Story: Birds

Once upon a time, there were many birds in an apple-tree, on a large island in the Pacific Ocean.

Three of these birds were brothers; called Blue, Purple and Grey.

One day, they were flying by the park and then they saw a big group of humans watching something.

They flew on a statue and they could hardly see, but then they saw it! It was a small cat that had been hit by a car.

People went away and the birds soon came to see the cat. This had a broken leg and was unconscious. Despite the fear that had the cat, the birds took care of him.

As days passed, the cat gets better, it was very hungry. He didn’t think and was released on Blue.

Blue stopped the cat, and this looked at the bird and he remembered that these birds had taken care of him. So he thought and act with their feelings and not with his instinct.

Since then, the cat takes care of the tree so that anyone can try to attack the birds.
