Developing by examples


    Whether you do or do not open a gift in the presence of the giver; whether you should or should not turn the plate over to look at the maker’s symbol on the back; whether you put your coat on before or after you leave the host’s house; whether you eat as quietly or as noisily as possible; whether you carry on a conversation during a meal; whether you walk in front of or behind a seated person; whether it is a friendly or an offensive gesture to put your hand on the arm of the person with whom you are talking—these and a thousand other questions are matters of cultural definition. None of them is inherently right or wrong, and none is good or bad manners except as a society defines it so.


In a well-written paragraph of detail and example, all the facts support the topic sentence. Pick out the irrelevant material in the following:


2. The topic sentence: Male chauvinism is evident in TV commercial       advertisements.


    Supporting evidence:


Commercials are new in China compared to those in developed countries.


Television sets, like air-conditioners, are seen as luxury goods in China.


There are two female images in Chinese TV commercials: traditional women busy with household chores and “modern women” who believe that pleasure is the most important thing in life.


In TV  ads, “modern women” usually invire their boyfriends to buy them presents.


Chinese men have got nicknames, like “qiguanyan” or “mofan zhangfu”.


Chinese commercials are providing a stage for women.


“Modern women” appear wise in commercials because they know how to depend on men but evade conventional duties.
