Paragraph without topic sentence

In formal writings, is it acceptable not to include a topic sentence in a paragraph?
  

Top answer

Piggy: If your introduction wanders around without any purpose or goal, your writing will not be clear. The purpose of a topic sentence is to declare what you are writing about. Beginning writers should put a topic sentence in the introduction.
