Write a topic sentence for the paragraph below.

______________________________________________________________. First, both work and school require an early start. Going to work requires getting up early to avoid the traffic rush, and going to school requires getting up early to catch the bus to school. Promptness is important in both places. Being at work on time pleases the employer; being in class on time pleases the instructor. Second, both involve quotas to ensure maximum production. For instance, a certain amount of phone calls must be made by a secretary. Likewise, school imposes quotas on a student to ensure maximum effort. For example, a certain number of essays must be written in an English composition class or a specific number of books must be read. Finally, both at work and school people socialize and make friends. In short, there are some similarities between school and work life.
