$GRAMMAR Topic and Main Idea
ID: 2a-f1-a
INTRO: Welcome to Lesson 2. This week you'll learn to find your way around an American shopping mall, introduce people politely, and talk about future plans. But first, a listening skill: finding the topic and main idea of a paragraph.
Every paragraph has a **topic** and a **main idea**.
- The **topic** is what the paragraph is about. It's a word or a short phrase, like {dogs} or {my job}.
- The **main idea** is the most important thing the paragraph says about the topic. It's a complete sentence, like {Dogs make good pets.}
The other sentences give **details** — they support the main idea.
# SKIPPED (book): ST Listening Skills (topic / main idea) — instructor-read paragraphs with no recorded stimulus or printed text; the same skill is covered by the recorded paragraphs below.

# SKIPPED (book): ST Listening Skill "LISTEN!" (stressed syllables) — instructor-read word list with no words provided; the recorded Figure 4 drill above covers the same skill.
INTRO: In this part you'll learn the words for the stores in an American shopping mall. Follow Ruth's shopping trip and repeat each sentence — you'll need these words all week.
INTRO: Here's the store directory for the Logar Shopping Center — the sign you'd read by the entrance. Look it over; you'll answer questions about it next.
Frank: Did you go shopping at the mall today? {bk10-l2a-f5-01.mp3}
Doris: I sure did. It was very crowded. At first I couldn't find a place in the parking lot. Finally I found one. {bk10-l2a-f5-02.mp3}
Frank: Where did you shop? {bk10-l2a-f5-03.mp3}
Doris: I shopped at the department store. I ordered a dress from there last week, and I went to pick it up. While I was there I bought some other things. {bk10-l2a-f5-04.mp3}
Frank: Did you go to any other stores? {bk10-l2a-f5-05.mp3}
INTRO: In this part you'll follow a whole story and answer questions about it. Joan goes to the shopping center with her mother — and for a few bad minutes, without her. Just listen and watch the pictures.
INTRO: Now check how well you followed Joan's adventure. Decide if each statement is true or false, tap your answer, then repeat the correct sentence you hear.

$DIALOGUE Do You Want a Shake? {st-page_063_001.jpg}
ID: l2-s7
INTRO: A short kitchen scene: Chris is shaking a glass, and Dorothy wants to know why. Listen for the word "shake" — you'll meet it again in the next story.
INTRO: Now a longer story: Jane and her favorite neighbor, Mrs. Wright — sixty-five, lives alone, and an excellent cook. Read along as you listen; questions follow.
INTRO: You've been hearing sentences like "Joan was ready to go home" and "Everyone was glad to see her." In this part you'll learn that pattern and practice it until it's automatic.
INTRO: Now build the pattern yourself. Listen to the short sentence, read the cue on your screen, and combine them into one adjective-plus-infinitive sentence. Then repeat the correct answer.
INSTRUCTION: Combine the spoken sentence and the printed cue.
INTRO: Now you ask the questions. Turn the words on the screen into a question with an adjective and an infinitive, say it aloud, then repeat the correct question.
RESPONSE: Are they ready to eat? {bk10-l2b-f6-05-a.mp3}
TEMPLATE: why / she / happy / leave
RESPONSE: Is she happy to leave? {bk10-l2b-f6-06-a.mp3}
