Mark usually only drives on the highway with his father. Because he knows that he'll have to learn how to drive downtown sometime, he decided to try it this morning. He looked at a city street map in advance, but that didn't help him when he got downtown. The heavy traffic and all of the signs and signals there confused him.

First, he drove the wrong way for two blocks on a one-way street. He turned and got on a two-way street at the next intersection. Then he saw that some red and blue lights were flashing off and on behind him. Finally he realized that an emergency vehicle was following him. He had to slow down and pullover to the side of the road while it passed.

Then he came to a railroad crossing. The lights there were flashing, too. He knew that signal meant that he had to stop because a train was coming. He looked both ways, but he couldn't see it yet. He crossed the tracks carefully. Then he decided to go home. He was tired of trying to drive and watch signs and signals at the same time. He'll try it again another day.

Saturday evening while he was driving downtown on his way to a

The policeman answered, "You were speeding. Also, you

failed to use your turn signal when you changed lanes." The

policeman gave Max a ticket and told him he could pay the fine or

Reading Skill l> WHAT'S THE TOPIC OF THE PARAGRAPH?

WHAT'S THE MAIN IDEA?

Read the paragraph; then write the topic and the main (most important) idea.

EXAMPLE: A fever can be a symptom of other problems. A fever with an earache can mean that the person needs to see a doctor and take stronger medicine. A fever with a cough, a runny nose, and body aches can be more than just a cold. A fever and a stomachache together can be really bad.

Topic: fever .=------:------------------~

Main idea: A fever can mean that there are other

problems.

1. When you have colds, don't give them to other people. Cover your nose when you sneeze, and cover your mouth when you cough. Take your medicine, and follow your doctor's advice. When you have a fever, or your cold gets worse,

stay home and rest. You'll get well quicker, and your friends and family will be happier. They don't want to catch your cold.

Topic:

Main idea:

78

2. "Be careful of the driver in the car behind the car ahead of you." This sentence looks confusing, but it's one of the most important rules in safe driving. Other drivers aren't the only ones who might be careless; we might make a careless mistake on the highway, too. We should worry about other drivers, but we should also be sure that we're driving cautiously.

Topic:

Main idea:

3. Many things decide what a speed limit sign should say. One of them is the number of people who use the street, road, or highway. Another is the places that those people are going to. Are they traveling to work or to their homes? Are they on vacation? The kind of street, road, or highway also decides the speed limit. A high speed limit isn't safe on a narrow, curved road with only two lanes. Because a wide, straight road with many lanes is safer, the speed limit on it can be higher.

Main idea:

Reading Skills (> TOPICS, MAIN IDEAS, AND TITLES

The topic of a paragraph is the subject that it deals with. The main idea states what the writer thinks is important about the topic.

A title is a name that describes or identifies something such as an article, a book, a movie, or a song. Titles can be sentences, phrases, or single words. The title of this lesson is "Please Give Me a Refund." What's the title of this exercise?

When you write a title, capitalize the first word, the last word, all important words (adverbs, adjectives, nouns, pronouns, and verbs), and all prepositions with five or more letters. Usually we don't capitalize words like a, an, the, and, or, but, to, from, 1.n, etc.

Read the paragraph. First, write the topic. Next, write the main idea in a complete sentence. Then write a title above the paragraph.

EXAMPLE: Title: The Job May Be Harder Than You Think.

You may think that it's easy to change a tire when you know how. But you can know how to do something and still not be able to do it. It may be very difficult to jack up the car or to loosen the nuts. The spare tire may not have enough air in it. You don't always have the right tools. Sometimes a job that should be easy for you to do is really very difficult.

Topic: jobs

Main idea: A job that looks easy may really be very

hard to do.

101

1. Title:

When you're driving, watch the speed limit signs. They show different speeds in different places. On the important highways, you can usually go 55 to 65 miles per hour, but sometimes you have to slow down to 45 or 50 m.p.h. Around schools, the speed limit is 20 m.p.h. In most other parts of the city, it's usually 30 or 35 m.p.h. In places that aren't very safe, the speed limit will be lower.

Topic:

Main idea:

2. Title:

Mechanics have important jobs. Most people want to keep their cars in good shape, and they need a mechanic who can help them. They may know how to change the oil and fix some small problems, but they usually can't do everything. When something is wrong with the engine or some other important part of the car, they have to call a mechanic. Often only mechanics can find the problem and use the right tools to fix it.

102

3. Title:

Credit cards are easy to get and to use, but they can cause problems. Sometimes people have too many credit cards and use them too often. They can charge almost everything. Department stores usually have their own credit cards, and many banks have cards, too. People can use them in stores, restaurants, garages, airports, hotels, and many other places. Some people put too much on their charge accounts and aren't able to pay for all of it when the bills come at the end of the month.
