Now, the writer goes back over th list of points and decides which to include. Does each point support the topic sentence? Lets examine the brainstorming list.

1. Los Angeles has a great climate.

Will this point support the topic sentence: Los Angeles is a pleasant place to live?

? Yes, it will! Good weather certainly influences your opinion about a place. Leave this point in.

2. Los Angeles has several tall buildings downtown.

Will this point support the topic sentence? Although you may lilke tall buildings, it probably wouldnt really be an important factor as far as making Los Angeles a nice place to live.

X No, it doesnt really support the topic sentence, so leave it out.

3. Los Angeles is generally sunny.

Will this support the topic sentence? Yes, but we probably dont really need this point as we have already covered it under point #1, weather.

X Dont really need itleave it out.

4. There are many beaches in the Los Angeles area.

Does this point support the topic sentence that L.A. is a pleasant place to live?
