The English Essay: Introduction and OutlineProfessor:Alan Williams Email:alan@ Web page:/group/gucas-w2008-writing-alan-williamsWe will now look at last week’s Homework Assignment.I marked this assignment out of five (5).Look for this file on the website: WEEK_6_Writing_CommonMistakes.pdf•Many did not mention the topic in the Topic Sentence (“my favorite teacher”).•The Title above your paragraph does not replace the need to introduce the topic in the Topic Sentence.•Also, many began with one or two sentences as an “introduction” before getting to your topic sentence.•The TS simply introduces your topic. Do not begin listing your reasons in the topic sentence. Save your reasons for the Supporting Sentences.•Often, the final sentence was NOT a Concluding Sentence, but simply the last Supporting Sentence.•At the end of some paragraphs, I felt as if I was left hanging in the air at the end of a ladder, rather than “reaching the ground” with your CS.•The CS should relate back to the main idea in the TS, and refer again to your “favorite teacher.”Grammar:•I often saw Comma Splice (CS) errors. You cannot connect two clauses in a sentence with just a comma;you must either add a conjunction word or replace the comma with a semi-colon.•There were a few Run-on Sentence (ROS) errors, but not many.•Verb Tenses: Most of you wrote about a time in middle school or high school. This relates to a time period in the past; therefore, your verbs should have beenwritten in the PAST tense.“more and more”•Students often use the phrase “more and more”before an adjective.•This is fine, but a good synonym to use is “increasingly” (an adverb) before an adjective.Examples:•“John became more and more sick each day”•“John became increasingly sick each day.”•“Juanita was more and more confident in her English skills.”•“Juanita was increasingly confident in her English skills.”The English Essay: Introduction and OutlineThe English Essay•An essay is a collection of paragraphs unified arounda specific topic or issue.•The specific topic is called the Thesis Statement.•An essay follows a similar pattern to a paragraph:–Each paragraph in an essay has a Topic Sentence and uses support and examples to explain it.–Each paragraph also has a Concluding Sentence.•The unifying factor is that all of the Topic Sentences are connected to the Thesis Statement.Similarities between Paragraph and EssayParagraph•Topic Sentence•Supporting Sentences with support / evidence for Topic Sentence•Concluding Sentence Essay •Introduction and Thesis Statement •Body Paragraphs with Topic Sentences, and support for the Thesis Statement •Concluding ParagraphWhat do scientists usethe essay format for?•To get an article published•To support an opinion on a scientific theory, process or experiment•To describe a process or experiment•To analyze the results of a single experiment in terms of Cause and Effect•To compare and contrast the results of two similar experimentsBasic Essay Form •Introductory paragraph:–creates interest in the topic–provides background to your thesis–gives the Thesis Statement•Body Paragraphs:–provide evidence and explanation of theThesis Statement•Conclusion:–offers a summary or resolution of ThesisStatement, followed by general statement or recommendationsPre-Writing and Outline •Before you can write an essay, you need to PLAN it first.•You want to make sure you have a specific Thesis Statement that you can support and explain in your body paragraphs.•Sample Topic: “The effects of computer games on children.”Sample Thesis Statement •For our example, we choose to discuss two negative effects:–Children are desensitized to (or “lessaffected by”) violence–Children become less active and unhealthy Computer games can often cause harm to children by desensitizing them to violence and by discouraging them from pursuing other more active and healthier forms of entertainment.I.Introductory ParagraphA.General InformationB.Thesis StatementII.Body Paragraph 1A.Topic SentenceB.Supporting Sentences1.First sentence2.Second sentence3.Third sentenceC.Concluding SentenceIII.Body Paragraph 2A.Topic SentenceB.Supporting Sentences1.First sentence2.Second sentence3.Third sentenceC.Concluding SentenceIV.Concluding ParagraphA.Re-state the Thesis StatementB.General InformationLet’s look at a sample outline for our Thesis Statement.On our website, the file “OUTLINE_formats.pdf”shows you some sample formats for an outline.Outline: Introduction Paragraph1.Introduction ParagraphA.General introduction on popularity ofcomputer games amongst kids.B.Thesis: Computer games can often causeharm to children by desensitizing them toviolence and by discouraging them frompursuing other more active and healthierforms of entertainment.2.Body Paragraph #1A.First negative effect: children becomedesensitized to violence.i.Many popular computer games are violent(“Doom”, “Golden Eye”, “Medal of Honor”).ii.Children become desensitized to violence.B.Therefore:–definitely a cause/effect relationship between computer games and children becomingmore violent.3.Body Paragraph #2A.Furthermore, children who play computergames are less active and less healthy thanchildren who don’t.i.Studies show kids who own computer gamesspend up to 50% less time exercising outdoors ii.Studies also show kids who own computergames are 80% more likely to be obese andunhealthy than kids who don’t.B.Therefore:–Unquestionably, a cause/effect relationship between computer games and children’sdeteriorating health.Outline: Concluding Paragraph3.Concluding ParagraphA.In conclusion,i.seems clear that, despite being a popular formof entertainment among children, computergames can harm children by encouragingviolent behavior, while also discouraginghealthier forms of playB.Therefore:i.Parents should take care to know and monitorthe computer games that their children areplaying, the amount of time their childrenspend playing these games, and the effectsthese games have on the children’s behavior.Some Notes on Outlines •An Introduction progresses from GENERALto SPECIFIC, whereas Conclusions progress from SPECIFIC to GENERAL.–SPECIFIC = Thesis Statement–GENERAL = Writer’s thoughts on subject •Body Paragraphs are organized just likeregular paragraphs.–The Topic Sentence of a Body Paragraph shouldalways support the Thesis Statement in theIntroduction.That was a lot ofinformation! Take a 5-minute breakPlaying games is a part of growing up. Parents, teachers and child psychologists all agree that playing games is an important way for children to learn and develop social skills. This process took a new turn when computers and game systems were first created in the 20th century and children started to play video and computer games frequently. As time has progressed, playing computer games has become a favorite activity among children. However, computer games can often cause harm to children by desensitizing them to violence and by discouraging them from pursuing other more active and healthier forms of entertainment.It is clear that one harmful effect that playing computer games has on children is desensitizing them to violence. Quite often, computer games are violent. Currently, the three most popular such games in America are “Doom,” “Golden Eye” and “Medal of Honor.” The first two of these games have players compete to kill each other, and the third is set in WWII, in which players kill Nazi soldiers in order to win the war. As a result of being exposed to such violent computer games, the average American child has witnessed over 2000 acts of violence by the time they are ten years old. What’s more, recent research indicates that children are emulating the violent behavior they observe in these games. A recent study conducted at UCLA showed that children ages 8-12 who had just finished playing a violent computer game were four times more likely to immediately act violently towards others than children who had just finished playing a different, non-violent game. Thus, although scientists are still investigating this phenomenon, it seems clear there is a correlation between violent computer games and children who are desensitized to violence and act violently towards others.Furthermore, children who play computer games also frequently suffer from poor health because they are less active than other children. A recent study on child obesity in California revealed that children who own computer games spend 50% less time playing outside and exercising than children who don’t. Consequently, these children are 80% more likely to become obese by the time they are ten years old than children who do not own computer games. As a result, it seems clear that children who own computer games spend more time indoors playing them. In short, these children are unhealthier than children who do not own or play computer games.In conclusion, it seems clear that, despite being a popular form of entertainment among children, computer games can harm children by encouraging violent behavior, while also discouraging healthier forms of play. Parents therefore should take care to understand the potential harmful effects that computer games may have on their children. Parents can try to avoid these negative effects by knowing the computer games that their children are playing, by monitoring the average amount of time their children spend playing such games, and by closely observing the effects these games have on their children’s behavior.Homework•No homework for this week.•NEXT WEEK, I will be assigning an essay as homework, so please review today’s Powerpoint presentation on essay structure. :-)•In your textbook, chapter 4 covers the section on Essay Writing.。

Written SummariesProfessor:Alan Williams Email:alan@ Web page:/group/gucas-w2008-writing-alan-williamsLet’s take a look at the Concluding Paragraphs that you wrote.1.Start with a Transition for conclusions:•in conclusion; to conclude; in short•to sum up; in summary2.The FIRST sentence should re-state your ThesisStatement.•In this case, you should mention again the three main causes of air pollution in Beijing.3.Provide one or more possible solutions for theproblem.4.Try to finish with a general statement, for example:•“If we take these measures, Beijing will once again have clean air and blue skies.”For the most part, your concluding paragraphs were well done.1.Most paragraphs began with a good transition.2.You then referred again to the three major causes of airpollution in Beijing.3.However, some of the paragraphs skipped over thestep of restating the Thesis Statement, and wentdirectly into discussing some possible solutions. NOTE:Good, clear handwriting [ bi jì ] is important. :-)•I had no problems reading all of the paragraphs, but please keep this in mind for when you arewriting a test.OK, let’s have a quick review last week’s material.

You need to really understand what the author is saying to write a goodsummary.In general, writing summaries is an excellent way to practice your writing habits, since a good summary shows all of the qualities of any other piece of good writing: unity,clarity, coherence, accuracy…Writing Strategy1.Read the article once.2.Re-read the article closely, and makea list of the main ideas.e this list of ideas to start to writeyour summary paragraph.•Write the ideas in the same order as they appear in the article.•Include an important example to support the ideas.•Use Transition words so that thesentences flow together logically.You can cross out or delete:•Repetitions•Non-essential background information •Long, extended examples•Interesting stories or anecdotes•Minor supporting detailsThis process is basically the reverse process for writing a good paragraph. :-)1) Read the ArticleThe most important part is to make sure you find the main ideas.

Introduced into England about 1476 by William Caxton, who had learned this art on the continent, printing made such rapid progress that, a scant century later, it was observed that manuscript books were seldom found and almost never used. Some idea of the rapidity with which the new process swept forward comes from the fact that, in Europe, the number of books printed before the year 1500 had already reached the surprising number of 35 000. The majority of these, it is true, were in Latin, whereas it is in the modern languages that the effect of the printing press is chiefly felt. However, in England, over 20 000 titles in English had appeared by 1640, ranging from two-page pamphlets to massive books. The result was to bring books, which had formerly been an expensive luxury for few people, within the reach of all. More important, however, was the fact -- so obvious today -- that it was possible to reproduce a book in a thousand copies or a hundred thousand, each copy exactly like the next. A powerful force thus existed for promoting a standard, uniform language, and the means were now available for spreading that language throughout the territory in which it was understood.

In this article, we will discuss how to design aproject-based teaching plan for a junior high school English class.I. Setting ObjectivesThe first step in designing a project-based teaching plan is to set clear objectives. These objectives should be aligned with the learning goals of the curriculum and should be specific,measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART). For example, the objectives for an English project could include improving students' language skills, enhancing their critical thinking and problem-solving abilities, and fostering their creativity and collaboration.II. Selecting a TopicThe next step is to select a topic for the project. The topic should be engaging and relevant to students' lives and interests, as well as related to the curriculum. For example, a topic for a junior high school English class could be "My Dream Vacation," where students plan a trip to a destination of their choice and create a travel itinerary, budget, and presentation.III. Designing the ProjectOnce the topic is selected, the teacher should design the project, including the tasks, activities, resources, and assessments. The project should be broken down into smaller tasks or stages, with clear instructions and deadlines. For example, in the "My Dream Vacation" project, tasks could include researching the destination, creating a budget, planning the itinerary, and presenting the trip.IV. ImplementationDuring the implementation phase, the teacher should guide students through the project, providing feedback and support as needed. Students should work independently or in groups to complete the project, using a variety of resources such as books, websites, and multimedia tools. The teacher should also encourage collaboration and communication among students, fostering a positive learning environment.V. AssessmentAt the end of the project, students should be assessed based on their performance and achievements. The assessment could include a presentation, a written report, a quiz, or a peer evaluation. The teacher should provide constructive feedback to students, highlighting their strengths and areas for improvement. Additionally, students should reflect on their learning experience and identify their learning goals for the future.Conclusion:In conclusion, project-based teaching is an effective approach to engage students in active learning and foster their language skills, critical thinking, and creativity. By following the steps outlined in this article, teachers can design and implement successful project-based teaching plans for junior high school English classes.。

Read this text and think of a suitable title

The generation born after the second world war, sometimes called the baby-boomers, are now reaching retirement age, and businesses are starting to realise that they are a wealthier market than any previous retirement group. Financial products, travel and medicines are wellestablished industries which interest the over-60s, but others are now focusing on this age group.Volkswagen, for instance, has produced a car with raised seats and more interior space to appeal to their tastes. In Japan, with its ageing population, companies have more experience of selling to the retired, and have been successful with unusual products such as a robotic seal, which serves as a pet substitute for the lonely. There are, however, certain difficulties in selling to this market. Some customers resent being addressed as „old‟ since they see themselves as more youthful, while there is a huge variation in the profile of the baby boomers, ranging from healthy and active to the bedridden and infirm.

Life Without TelevisionWhen my family’s only television set went to the repair shop the other day, my parents, my sister, and I thought we would have a terrible week. How could we get through the long evening in such a quiet house? What would it be like without all the shows to keep us company? We soon realized, though, that living without television for a while was stroke of good fortune. It became easy for each of us to enjoy some activities alone, to complete some postponed chores, and to spend rewarding time with each other and friends.First of all, with no television to compete for our time, we found plenty of hours for personal interests. We all read more that week than we had read during the six months before. During these days, my sister read more than 10 books about the legendary biography, while she had never finished a book when we had a TV at home. We each also enjoyed some hobbies we had ignored for ages. My mother resumed listening radio after supper and at the same time knitted a sweater for my father. My sister excited about piano again and the melody lingered on our home. M y father who is a gourmet of our family, humming a familiar tune, cooked delicious food in kitchen. In addition, my sister and I both stopped procrastinating with our homework. We did our homework on the moment that we had arrived back from our schools without thinking weather we could watch some favorite TV shows and therefore we finished our homework before dinner.Second, we did chores that had been hanging over our heads for too long. There were many jobs around that house that had needed attention for some time. We spent weekend on cleaning our house in which the dust had been piled up, washing clothes which had been filled with washing machine long time before, and spading the garden. We also had a chance to do some long postponed shopping. In the past, my sister and I frequently felt hungry after school, we should had to endure hungry because nothing had been left for us to eat in our home. Without television, our families were divided into two groups, each group was in charge of shopping all kinds of things we needed once a week, which guaranteed sufficient food and daily living equipment. And each of us also did some letter writing or other paperwork that was long overdue. Without temptation of TV, father focused on writing his papers about how to use remote sensing to estimate NPP of vegetation. After much delay, my sister and I finished the materials of English reports at last. Finally, and probably most important, we spend time with each other. Instead of just being in the same room together while we stared at a screen, we actually talked for many pleasant hours. We talked about our performance at school: bad or not; we talked about the plan of our summer vocation. Moreover, for the first time in years my family played some games together. We played hide-and-seek in the yard with my aunt and uncle; we played kicking shuttlecock on the ground in the sunshine. And because we didn’t have to worry about missing this or that show, we had some family friends over on a couple of evenings and spend an enjoyable time with them. We frequently invited a lot of friends and relatives to join in our parties to celebrate some holiday such as Spring festival ,Christmas, Think giving day etc, thus we could kept in touch with a lot of friends and relatives and strengthen the relationship of us.Once our television set returned, we were not prepared to put it in the attic. But we had a sense of how it can take over our lives if we are not careful. We are now more selective. We turn on the set for our favorite shows, certain sports events, and the news, but we don’t leave it running all night. As a result, we find we can enjoy television and still have time left over for other activities and interests.。

考虫六级英语作文模板Here's a sample of a Cet-6 essay template that follows the requirements you mentioned:---。

Okay, let's start with this. English learning is notjust about grammar and vocabulary. It's about communicating, right? Like, when I was a kid, I remember watching cartoons in English and just trying to figure out what they were saying. It was fun!And then, you know, there's this whole world of books out there. I mean, I love reading. But when I started reading books in English, it was a whole new experience. It was challenging, but also exciting. You get to see things from a different perspective.Now, speaking of speaking, I think practice is key. Like, whenever I travel to an English-speaking country, Itry to immerse myself in the language. I talk to people, I listen to them, I watch TV, I read the news. It's just a matter of exposure.Oh, and technology! Nowadays, there are so many apps and online resources that can help you learn English. You can listen to podcasts, watch videos, take online courses. It's really convenient.But at the end of the day, I think it's about having fun with it. Learning a language shouldn't be a chore. It should be something that you enjoy. So, find what works for you and just go for it!。

On the one hand, one of the drawbacks is that people will easily become addicted (idea1). For example, the popularity of video games has drawn mass attention of the public, especially for the group of adolescents. They tend to be impressionable to novelty and are willing to spend loads of time playing new online games at home, which will erode their willingness to participate in outdoor activities (example1). As a result, their physical wellness is likely to decline, due to lack of exercise (result1). Worse still, individuals’ lifestyles can also be affected (idea2). This is because people may be reluctant to socialize if they find playing computer games or watching television programs more entertaining than meeting up with friends (reason2). Consequently, a growing number of individuals will form a sedentary lifestyle, which is the root of the heart-related diseases such as hypertension (高血压) and obesity(肥胖症) (result2).

Migrant workers have gone on strike several times this year to demand better salaries and working conditions. The cost of living is increasing while their wages are not increasing; inflation is high. Meanwhile, companies cannot find enough workers at these wages. A strong economy in India will persuade many Indians to stay at home, and 280 000 illegal workers recently left when the government offered them an amnesty. However, workers from other countries will make up for the shortage; the government has also responded with some measures to improve the workers’ situation, such as paying wages through an electronic system instead of cash.

The incident ,in my opinion, arises from several causes.
To begin with, students attach great importance to national college entrance examination. They are under severe pressure in the face of it for they have paid too much for it, thus they want to make every possible effort to enhance their performance at this delicate point which may decide the rest of their lives. And if they weren’t admitted by a good university, it would be even a shame for their parents and teachers. Beyond that, they are highly expected by their parents and teachers, so they have to go out of their ways to satisfy them. Last but not least, the fierce competition in education force most of the students to study harder and harder, especially those from countryside because they regard it as the only way to get away from badly-off situation and obtain a better life.

We have a dog named Buddy who is a Golden Retriever. He's really cute and fluffy and loves to play fetch. My favorite game is hide and seek - I'm really good at finding the best hiding spots!In my free time, I love playing outside. My friends and I have a awesome treehouse in my backyard that my dad built for us. We love having picnics up there and putting on little plays. I'm usually the director because I like being in charge. Sometimes we get a little too rowdy though and my mom has to tell us to keep it down.I'm also on a soccer team called the Red Rockets. I play defense because I'm really fast. My teammates are a lot of fun and we always go for ice cream after our games. Chocolate is my favorite flavor! I'm not very good at scoring goals yet, but I'm getting better at kicking the ball every practice.In school, my favorite subjects are art and reading. I love drawing pictures of animals and mythical creatures like unicorns and dragons. Reading takes me to such amazing make-believe worlds full of adventures. I get totally lost in books sometimes and have to be called for dinner several times before I snap out of it!My least favorite subject is math because I find it really confusing and boring. All those numbers and equations just make my brain feel like mush. I have to work really hard on my math homework but my mom is a good teacher and helps me understand it better. I'm getting a little better at it, but it's still not my favorite.One of the coolest things about me is that I was born on Christmas Day! Every year my birthday party has a holiday theme and we get to decorate a tree. Sometimes my friends are traveling to see family though, so then we have to postpone my party until after the New Year. I don't mind though because that means I get two celebration days instead of just one!Another fun fact is that I'm learning to play the violin this year. It's much harder than it looks to make nice sounds come out of that tiny stringed instrument. I have to practice every day and I'm already sick of my beginner songs like "Twinkle TwinkleLittle Star." Hopefully I'll get better soon so I can learn more exciting pieces.My biggest dream is to become a zookeeper when I grow up.I love all kinds of animals, but especially the bigger ones like elephants, giraffes, and tigers.
