    5.1 Topic sentence and paragraphs


    1 Identify the topic sentence and the supporting details in the following paragraphs.
    a) A recent China–America basketball match descended into a fight. Witnesses
    said first there was a foul on a US player. After that, the audience threw water
    bottles. Then a spectator threw a chair. Finally the players and coaches were
    forced to quit the match early.

    Topic sentence Supporting details

    b) More than 1 million girls and a quarter of a million women now play football in
    the UK. For a long time there was no professional female league and the UK
    lost many of its top players, who were tempted to go to the US where they could
    earn money for playing football. Consequently, in 2009, women’s football in the
    UK created its own professional league.
