Hint

The topic sentence is usually the first or sometimes the last sentence,
but it can be any sentence in the paragraph.

Read the following paragraphs. First find the topic sentence,
then circle the topic, and underline the controlling idea.

1. Ants are found everywhere in the world. They make their home
in buildings, gardens, etc. They live in anthills. Ants are very

hardworking insects. Throughout the summers they collect food for
the winter season. Whenever they find a sweet on the floor, they
stick to the sweet and carry it to their home. Thus, in this way, they
clean the floor. Ants are generally red and black in colour. They

have two eyes and six legs. They are social insects.

2. The stars are tiny points of light in the space. On a clear night we
can see around 2,000 to 3,000 stars without using a telescope. Stars
2 look tiny in the sky because they are far away from the Earth. In
LESSON ancient times the sky watchers found patterns of stars in the sky.
