Hi Nikolay,

To find out the main idea of a paragraph you should carefully read it and then answer this question: "What is this text about?"
If you like you can post a short text here and we can do this exercise together.
Regards
Torsten

Thank you for your help offer. I and a friend of mine are already doing this type of an exercise so I would not need your help. Thank you for offering me help anyway.
