Topic Sentences

Are these sentences good Topic Sentences? Do they tell you what the subject of the paragraph will be? Do they have general information or specific examples (they shouldn't have examples)?


1. In my free time in Venezuela I play the drum set, and the computer but here I do not have drum set or a good computer. :(

:) In my free time I have different hobbies  here than in my country, Venezuela.


2. I like to play basketball. :(
 :) I like sports as a hobby.


Concluding Sentences should LOOK DIFFERENT from the Topic Sentence but say the SAME thing.


1. As you can see, the things I love to do in Venezuela are much more interesting than what I do here.


2. Finally, my favorite pastime always involves sports.
