Answer 1

i need help because i don't really know why i want to visit dubai. i just always wanted to. i don't even know the special things that they have over there. so i don't know how to start with the outline. maybe i could include the fact that my cousins live there..?

Outline:
Dubai -specific topic
a place i want to visit-specific impression

support #1- visit my relatives over there..?
support #2
support#3

surely one day i will get to go there-concluding sentence

Answer 2

Since this is a descriptive paragraph, you'll need to describe Dubai.

This site may help you develop a topic sentence and descriptions of Dubai.

Answer 3

well i don't thin i'm suppose to describe it in the topic sentence.

but i will need to do that in the supports
so:
support#1 - The Burj Al Arab is the world's tallest hotel.
support#2 - desert activities
support#3 - beaches?

Answer 4

You're supposed to make a general statement in your topic sentence. I saw a sentence in the website that would make a great topic sentence.

Answer 5

Dubai is fast becoming the Paris of the Middle East"?

Answer 6

Yes! That would make an excellent topic sentence!

Then support it with facts about Dubai's culture, shopping, and entertainment.

Answer 7

am i allowed to quote it directly
or do i hve
to rephrase it?

and.i'm only allowed to write five

sentences.so if this is my topic

sentence. then where do i tell that

it's one of the place that i want to

visit.
concluding sentence?

Answer 8

Yes, I'd include the fact that you most want to visit Dubai in your conclusion.

You don't really have to rephrase your topic sentence, although I'd leave out "fast." But you could also say, Dubai is becoming the cultural capital of the Middle East.
