Why I Want to Learn English

There are three reasons why I want to learn English. One reason is
that English has become an international language. It is now used by most
international companies, including the company where I work, for business
communication. Another reason why I want to learn English is so that I can
travel to English-speaking countries. The United States, England,
Australia and many other countries all use English as their primary
language. Finally, I want to learn English because I plan to move to the
U.S. in the future. I will become a manager for my company soon. For all
these reasons, I am very excited about learning English.

sentence.
En el siguiente prrafo subraye el topic sentence y la concluding sentence.

My hometown
My hometown is famous for several amazing natural features. First,
it is noted for the Wheaton River, which is very wide and beautiful. On
either side of this river, which is 175 feet wide, are many willow trees which
have long branches that can move gracefully in the wind. In autumn the
 leaves of these trees fall and cover the riverbanks like golden snow. Also,
on the other side of the town is Wheaton Hill, which is unusual because it
is very steep. Even though it is steep, climbing this hill is not dangerous,
because there are some firm rocks along the sides that can be used as
stairs. There are no trees around this hill, so it stands clearly against the
sky and can be seen from many miles away. The third amazing feature is
the Big Old Tree. This tree stands two hundred feet tall and is probably
about six hundred years old. These three landmarks are truly amazing
and make my hometown a famous place.

En el siguiente prrafo encierre en un crculo el topic sentence y
clonduding sentence, despus subraye las supporting sentences.

Butterflies
Butterflies are one of the most beautiful and interesting creatures on earth.
Their attractive, brilliant colors catch interest immediately. They have
wings of varying shapes and sizes, and some even appear to have "eyes"
on them! Some butterflies are cleverly camouflaged with colors that assist
them in blending with the plant life in their environments. The delicate
physical structure of the butterfly (along with hair-like legs and antennae)
adds to its gentle beauty. Some of these curious insects vary distinctly in
size, with the largest-known wing span at four inches, and the smallest
measured from wing tip to tip at one-half inch. Without these glorious, artful
creations darting about in the world, our lives would indeed be much more
drab and boring.
