How to Write a Paragraph Or How to Build a Big Mac

Big Mac Cheeseburger Top Bun Bottom Bun Lettuce Tomato Cheese Onion What are the ingredients of a Big Mac Cheeseburger? Top Bun Lettuce Tomato Cheese Onion Special Sauce Hamburger Bottom Bun

The top bun of a paragraph is a topic sentence.

The topic sentence introduces the main idea of a paragraph. Although most people believe that man’s best friend is a dog, I think it should be a cat. Cats have been used as pets since the time of the pharaohs in Egypt. They have been found in countries all over the world. Obviously, cats have been the favorites of man for hundreds of years. I suppose cats are so well liked because they are gentle, friendly and easy to take care of.
