When you are trying to find the main idea of a paragraph you will typically find it at the beginning or end. The writer<span> gives supporting information to start and then makes the </span>point<span> in the last sentence</span>

While the main idea<span> is usually in the first sentence, the next most common placement is in the last sentence of a </span>paragraph<span>. The author gives supporting information first and then makes the </span>point<span> in the last sentence. Here's a </span>paragraph<span>we can use as an example. Try to locate the topic and the </span>main idea<span>.</span>

ivann1987 [24]

Writing requires a lot of attention and knowledge, not only of grammar, but also of the coherence of the sentences within a text and the structure that these sentences form, being able to transmit an understandable message to the reader. Effective and efficient writing should refrain from Run-on sentences that leave writing completely without coherence and cohesion because it does not link one sentence to another in a fluid and correct way, leaving the text disorganized and making the reading uncomfortable and inconclusive. Efficient writing must also refrain from fragments sentences that are incomplete sentences, which do not have the capacity to conclude a thought and transmit a tangible message to the reader.

Imagine that you just found out one of your friends has been drinking alcohol at parties every weekend. You want to talk to the
Korolek [52]

Answer:

Hi/hey/etc. ________ (friend name),

As your friend it is my duty to make sure you're okay and safe. I've noticed you've been taking a particular liking to alc*h*lic beverages because other kids our age are. Regardless of how much it makes you fit it, its dangerous. It can lead to add*ction, get you in trouble with the government, your family, and your friends. Not to mention, it acts a detriment to your growth and development. I care about you okay? So please listen. And if not me, then another friend, or your parents, please?

[explain physical health reasons here]

Drinking makes any of the following more likely...

Car crashes

Falls, drowning, and other accidents

Su*cide

V*olence and hom*cide

Being a victim of violent cr*me

S*xu*lly transmitted infections

Unwanted pr*gn*ncy

S*xu*l *ss*ult or r*pe

[explain social health and emotional health/happiness here]

low self-esteem, d*pr*ssion (linked to greater su*c*de attempts among underage drinkers), conduct disorders, antisocial behavior, dependency on other dr*gs (ie. tob*cco), and anxiety.

Explanation:

I started the essay/persuasive letter off for you, but continue to research facts and put it in paragraph form. The most important thing to remember when writing something like this, is that its supposed to be caring and not just a blast of information. The more you bring it back to your friendship and the friend's relationships (parents, romantic ones, etc.), the more inclined he/she will be to continue reading the letter. Make it so that you bring across sympathy (use words or phrases that emphasize the idea that "you care" as the writer and you want to help and you want the best for them). Towards the end of the letter they may be a little reluctant to listening to anything you wrote above so don't say anything negative about them, rather the positive aspects that would be lost otherwise. Provide resources at the bottom as well, and since it is a letter, don't forget a signature. Hope this helps!
