1. Topic sentence
Despite the typos we see in texts and social media, professional environments still value good grammar.
Also known as the “paragraph leader,” your topic sentence should introduce the concept and communicate what the paragraph is about. Be careful not to squeeze your entire point into this first sentence—you just need to say enough so that the reader knows what the rest will be about.
