ReplyDeleteYou are on track here. In general, though, your topic sentences are too broad. For example, the topic sentence on the second paragraph of the second exercise partially identifies the topic, but what is the difference between the two systems? The differences discussed all have a similarity that should be indicated by the topic sentence. The sentences written for the final section are also too broad; they would make better thesis statements than topic sentences. The same principles apply to both, though, so you have the right idea.
Thanks,
