Well, most of the time its in the first paragraph, but sometimes it goes through-out the essay. I'm not saying it is going to be in the first paragraph though. just think about what the passage is mainly talking about. and that's going to help you find it.(: I hope that kind of helped. But i am not the best explainer...

Teaching English for specific purposes is sometimes quite a daunting challenge for most of the teachers in any part of the world despite their personal motivation, expertise, and availability of the best resources. With the rapid encroachment of digital technology on all fields of academic teaching and learning, it becomes all the more incumbent for educators to have strategies to incorporate and exploit the ubiquitous and popular digital platforms to teach their “digital native” students to have better results. Considering the paramount influence of these digital platforms and social media, this study aims at exploring the potent effect of Facebook as one of the pervasive digital platforms to teach ESP to Saudi students at the university level. The experiment established several findings of interest which led to the conclusion that ubiquitous digital platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and WhatsApp do have a revelatory potential to ameliorate academic and professional learning.
