From Mind Map to Topic Sentences

Each of these topic sentences originally appeared as points of interest in a mind map.  Here, I've turned each point into a topic sentence for a paragraph.  Later, I'll show how each sentence can be used as the topic sentence for a whole paragraph.

The Shih-lin Night Market is one of the most popular night spots in Taipei City.
Many Taiwanese and foreigners enjoy the hustle and bustle and the crowds.
It’s a great shopping area, both for bargains and for the latest styles.
Along its main passageways and alleyways, a wide variety of local foods and drinks may be found.
Video games and games of personal skill draw many teenagers to the night market’s arcade area.
One can easily see why the Shih-lin Night Market is a popular venue.
