    _ Finding the main idea.
    As I understand to find the main idea of a text, essay, story or an article, we should focus the or last sentence of the paragraph or article. The main idea tells us what the paragraph or article or other section of a text is going to be about. We can find identifying the main idea by asking the questions about the text which we read in depth. We should pay close attention to the introduction, the first sentence of the paragraph or text and the conclusion, these two places, the author typically states and supports the main idea, and the summary is our statement of what the central or main idea is.
