I need some help for my topic sentence, its about how to grow plants?

Hey there!

Topic sentences are often used to begin paragraphs, as they tell what the paragraph is about. If you are writing an essay about how to grow plants, then your topic sentences may be about things such as digging holes to the proper depth depending on the plant, sunlight for each plant, water, weather, etc. If you are looking for a thesis statement, which would be the overall topic of your essay, then you would want to talk about growing plants in a more general sense. For example, you could say something about how anyone can grow plants, and that growing plants only takes a few simple steps (you would list out the steps in your thesis statement). Then, taking those steps, you could discuss each step in a different body paragraph.

Hope this helps!! :)

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
