9Topic sentence play an important role in the structure of web-based texts as readers will often skim the text on-screen to see if it is going to be of interest to them before taking the time to read the long passages of text.
Here is an extract from a webpage advising parents on how to choose a good nursery for their child. See if you can correctly identify the key points by dragging and dropping them into the correct topic sentence.
What qualities should I look for in staff at a day nursery?
Good nursery workers will have an obvious [blank_start]passion for spending time with children[blank_end], and show lots of care and attention to your child's needs. They'll be enthusiastic and friendly, and have the ability to deal with problems in a calm manner.
Staff should [blank_start]ask questions[blank_end] about your child’s health and care, as well as his current interests. They'll ask you about your routine, and talk about how they can help your child settle into his new environment.
Many nurseries have a [blank_start]key worker policy[blank_end]. Key workers are staff who are each responsible for a small group of children, meaning they can provide continuity of care. Your child's key worker will be your main point of contact, and will have a chat with you at the end of each day.
Ask the manager about [blank_start]staff turnover[blank_end]. Low staff turnover is one key to ensuring consistent, stable care for your child. If the staff seem overworked and stressed, then you may want to consider another nursery.
