----------------- As Duffy (2011) argues, Facebook can connect students with peers and teachers, involving them in communities: a vital component of student success. For example, in Australia and Singapore, first year undergraduate students participated in virtual discussions, which helped them to connect with their peers and reduced feelings of loneliness and isolation (McCarthy, 2013). In addition, the students appreciated having time to create and reflect on their responses before they posted them. This time to respond may be beneficial for quieter students who sometimes avoid vocalizing their opinions in a face-to-face learning environment. When students are seated in large lecture theaters or classrooms, it may also be difficult for them to get to know one another. Research shows that socializing and connecting to others is a crucial component of a satisfying tertiary experience (Elliott & Shin, 2002). Thus, Facebook can provide a valuable mode of social interaction for students.
Did you know that there are 1.49 billion daily active users on Facebook?
One key benefit of using Facebook in teaching and learning is its capacity for online community building.
Facebook is an old social media, and students rarely use it.
Students feel lonely when they are new to college.
Choose the best topic sentence for the given paragraph.
________ The article “Dead Shark Spray Keeps Jaws Away” on NewScientist.com explains the dangers in making and distributing chemicals to repel sharks. The article says, “A chemical shark repellent can send animals packing, but won’t prevent surprise attacks on surfers and swimmers”. This indicates that the spray is not enough to keep humans safe from sharks. Furthermore, the article “Live Sharks Repelled by Dead Ones” on CBSNews.com shares some additional concerns with the shark repellent. Eugine Clark, a shark expert from the University of Maryland was quoted in the article and stated that shark attacks are rare, and the chance that the person being attacked would be ready with the repellent in hand is even more rare. This proves that people could feel safe with shark repellent available, but the likelihood of them having it and using it when needed is incredibly low.
Shark repellent is another effective way of saving your life from a shark.
For example, Johns Smith, 26 did not manage to get out shark repellent on time and protect himself from a shark attack.
Finally, creating chemicals in an attempt to repel sharks is dangerous because they may provide a false sense of security for beach-goers.
There are many articles written about the effectiveness of shark repellent.
Choose the best topic sentence for the given paragraph.
--------- This means that they will have less understanding of different languages and cultures, which could limit their job prospects later in life. For instance, many multi-national companies require their graduate employees to be fluent in a second language; this is very difficult to do if you have not immersed yourself in another language at some point. What is more, not being culturally aware could lead to an individual accidentally offending someone else. For example, not everyone knows that it is offensive in Japanese culture to only use one hand when accepting a business card. Thus, studying abroad is important for students worldview.
To learn a foreign language, students have to travel abroad.
Students that do not take the opportunity to study abroad limit their experience and knowledge of the world.
Due to theCOVID-19 pandemic, the number of people who travelled to Japan in 2020 decreased 9 times compared to 2019.
Japanese culture is unique, and students have to visit Japan.
Choose the best topic sentence for the given paragraph.
---------As Murray (2006) points out, although many students expect to produce a good version of their essay the first time they write it, most successful writers go through several revisions. This approach makes sense because writing an assignment is a complex process which involves many different aspects such as organization, clear argument, flow, grammar, and choice of words. It is not possible to focus on all these aspects simultaneously as we are writing. Therefore, an effective strategy is to produce a rough draft from the essay plan and then revise it two or three times, focusing on different aspects at each revision.
The first step of writing an essay is pre-writing.
You need to be very focused when writing an essay.
Another important step in producing a good assignment is to draft and then revise the essay several times.
It is not easy to write an essay and not all people can do it.
Choose the best topic sentence for the given paragraph.
___________ This café is on a small side street and as soon as you see it, you feel like going in. There are three windows on either side of the door, and each window has a small window box with brightly colored flowers. There is a small wooden door that opens into the café, and as soon as you go in, you can see a dozen small tables all around the room. I always like to sit at a small table in the corner near the front windows. From here, I can look at the artwork on the walls and at the pretty green plants hanging from the ceiling. With a strong cup of coffee and a good book, I feel happy and relaxed in my favourite place.
