Knowledge of general and specific will help you, the student to understand how a topic can be general or specific or precise. It can help you to understand the topic sentence which is a general sentence. It can help you to understand supporting sentences which are specific sentences. This is the second lesson based on, the topic, and the aim or purpose is to get you, the student to identify the precise topic of a reading. We begin by examining the difference between general and specific topics. If you think of the word ‘flowers,’ several flowers will come to mind because the term or topic is very general. However, if you think of the word, ‘roses,’ then a collage of roses may come to mind. On the other hand, if you visualize, your mother’s rose bush, you might see one tree in bloom. Flowers When you think of the word ‘flowers,’ several flowers will come to mind because the term or word is very general. Roses If you think of the word, ‘rose or roses,’ then a collage of roses may come to mind. The word is very specific.

If you are reading a paragraph about ‘SUGAR,’ this is a very broad or general topic. You may ask, why? This topic is very general or very broad as there is a great deal of information available on this topic. General topics are usually one -word topics. When you are asked to identify the topic of a reading, never write a one-word topic as the topic would not be captured precisely in just one word. Specific Topics Specific topics, on the other hand, are examples of the general topic. Specific topics are narrower topics, but they may not capture the essence of the paragraph. Precise Topics Topics can be more focused and more precise. When you identify a precise topic of a reading, try to use a short phrase. Your phrase should be two to four words used to identify and limit a precise topic.
