Writing and Composition

multilingual.

There is no rule of grammar that prohibits the use of the word 'and' more than once in a sentence.

you can only do so by saying..

I bought some bread, butter, and cheese and decided no to eat them until tomorrow.

I hope that helped.

Write sentences the way you speak - just pretend you are telling this to a friend, and write down what you would say. What would you tell them about this topic? Why do you think reading is a pleasure? What things could you tell your friend to convince them that this is true? What would you describe to your friend about reading?

If you just start writing, you will be through with your assignment before you know it!

There are four basic meanings for the word 'is' in the English language:


(1) Existence: "Socrates is."


(2) Identity: "Mark Twain is Samuel Clemmens"


(3) Predication: "Socrates is wise" or "Socrates is thinking."


(4) General implication (inclusion)/Categorical: "Socrates is a man" or "Man is an animal."


Knowing these four different ways of using the word 'is,' you can vary your sentence structure to avoid 'is' if you feel so inclined.


For example, if you are using "the is of existence," you could say "Socrates exists" instead of "Socrates is." If you are using "the is of predication," you could say "Socrates has wisdom" instead of "Socrates is wise."


There really aren't true replacement words for the 'is,' however, in the sense that 'angry' can mean the same thing as 'mad.' If you are worried that your sentences sound repetitive, you should consider varying your sentence structure in general. Don't go through great lengths to avoid the word 'is.'

That is up to you, the essayist. The essay is your voice, telling your perspective.

Now, that having been said, the concluding paragraph of ALL essays archetypically begins with a restatement (rewording) of the thesis statement. In the conclusion, you are summing up your essay, stating why the points you made previously are the best, most correct, cogent points.

December 30, 2008 Gov. Mamintal "Bombit" Alonto Adiong Provincial Capitol Marawi City, Lanao del Sur Re: Solicitation Dear Sir: Assalamo Alaikom and Good Day! The class of Community Development 100-Vv from Mindanao State University Main Campus under Prof. Violeta H. Mendoza is going to conduct a Self Help Activity this 2nd week of January as part of the course requirement. In our group, we choose to conduct a jail visitation for we know that most of our imprisoned brothers and sisters here in Marawi City Jail need some assistance as their personal hygiene is concerned. However, inasmuch as we would like to help all of them, we cannot do this on our own. Thus, we need as much help as we can get. In this regard, we are politely asking your good heart to help and support us to this charitable activity. You may donate in cash or in kind (any items for personal hygiene like bath soap and laundry soap, toothpaste and etc., as well as any available reading materials). Rest assured that your assistance will be very much appreciated.

We are counting on your generosity on this matter. Respectfully Yours, JONEVY J. ANTONIO (Team Leader) Noted by: PROF. VIOLETA H. MENDOZA (Course Instructor)

If you can read, and if you can print, why not? There are books. If you can teach yourself shorthand, (and you can) then there is no reason you cannot teach yourself cursive.

Your letter should include all of the essential information regarding your case: your name, position, date, place, any information from the lost identification card, a possible timeframe and location of the card loss.

Reading and writing are very much linked. Reading doesn't only help you to research topics for essays and reports. Reading different texts gives you models for writing - different types of sentence structure, building vocabulary, making inferences, building character, setting and plot.

A good introduction to a paper is probably a quote that has something to do with your essay. Then next say "I agree with this statement and that is why........." I usually call these quotes Grabbers. I usually also finnish off the essay by repeating the quote and saying what I think about it. I also call this the Grabber Bang. I hope this helped :)

By thinking about it carefully and then organizing your ideas and thoughts on notes. Then finally writing your material in logical paragraph form.

No one is going to do your thinking and your work for you.

1) anecdote

2) description

3) question

To get a good topic for a compare and contrast essay, you should find two things which have certain similarities and differences. In other words, it's impossible to compare and contrast absolutely identical or absolutely different things.

The easy way is to write about the things which have more similarities than differences: winter and summer holidays; talking to friends and texting them etc.

A more creative way is to compare things (or people/ events/ phenomena) that have only a few similarities: Justin Bieber and Paul Lennon; graffitti and Black Square by Malevich.

Placing events in the order of their occurrence is "chronological order".

The same way you write any other story - plant your butt in a chair and get started!

With historical fiction, though, you want to be sure you do a lot of research on the period of history you're writing about - pick that era and start looking around the internet, the library, and even around your own neighborhood if you have anyone who lived through that period of history! Historical fiction readers are very picky about facts, and will stop reading your work if you have it wrong.

Here are some good links for you, too.

The best way to avoid plagiarism is not to plagiarize. It is probably easier than it ever was to uncover plagiarism. There are ways to use web material in papers, but it may still be best to use standard form and make references to library-available material if humanly possible, unless your teachers advocate and teach methods in the use of web references. It is not that hard-journal material is any less vulnerable to inaccuracy, but that a paper trail is perhaps easier to follow to its true source than the electron trail.

Though this is not an absolute, the usual style is called "Five Paragraph Construction". This really means that there should be five MAIN sections to most essays.

The first one is the Introduction, in which you describe to the reader what your topic is, what you intend to convey and what the parts of your essay will be.

The next three parts are the main three characteristics or points of your essay. They should describe the most important things in it, which will tell your readers what they should hope to gain from reading your particular essay. There can be more than three parts, if it is necessary.

The fifth part is the Conclusion. In this part, the writer should sum up what was described or discussed in the previous parts, and reach some kind of overall view for the reader, whether it its opinion (such as in Literature) or fact (as in Science).

If one stays with this basic format (Introduction, Three Explanatory Parts, Conclusion), it is very easy to write an essay, even a long one.

Writing is important because it's communication. We can communicate with others when they're not where you are or at a different time than you are. In other words, writing is communication over time and space. Kind of magical isn't it. I can read a book, a newspaper, or even a personal letter written two or three hundred years ago. People ten thousand miles away from me right now may also be reading this very thing I'm writing. A hundred years from now, someone could be reading something that you or I wrote today.

Besides communicating far and wide, writing can be very practical for people who are at the same place at the same time. When you are trying to teach me something or I'm trying to explain something to you, we can use writing to help us. We can write something down to remember, we can look up something in the dictionary or on a web site, all written information. I can get directions over the phone while writing them down for when I go there. I place an order for pizza and the person taking the order writes it down (or types it in, which is still a form of writing). If you ever find yourself involved in a court case, written documentation will go a long way to prove what you need to prove. Well, the miscellaneous uses for the importance of writing are far too many for this answer. Suffice it to say, even with the internet and smart phones, knowing how to write will help you every day, even if it's because someone wrote the summaries for the TV shows that are on tonight so you can figure out what you want to watch.

Ultimately, writing is a form of communication. Everyone knows about writing to entertain, but it is also used to communicate descriptions, information, evaluations, persuade readers, and present solutions to problems. As consumers, we use this kind of information to decide where to vacation, what movie to see, which cars are reliable, and who we should vote for. Pretty important stuff.

Okay, I can here you saying now, "Yeah, but I'm not gonna do any of that for a living. Why do I have to learn how to write it then? This is stupid." Well, I can give you three really solid reasons why it's important to learn how to write.

1) Writing academically requires you to do a whole lot of critical thinking- you must decide whether your sources are credible and which ones are most relevant to your topic. You have to understand who your audience is and what they already know and what they need to know. Then you have to determine what kind of examples or facts will be the most meaningful for your readers (audience) and put it all into language that your audience will understand. Even if you're writing about why Moby Dick was the most horrendously boring book you ever were forced to read, you'll need all the skills I just mentioned so that you sound persuasive rather than just whiny.

2) In the "real" world, that is life outside of high school and college, you will have to research information. Don't think so? Okay, how will you know what car is safe, reliable, affordable, and doesn't cost and arm and a leg to insure? Research. How will you convince your parents to help you pay for this vehicle? - Present reliable evidence to your audience (your parents) that shows that buying this car will be a win-win situation for all of you. How will you persuade your parents of all of this, besides the stunningly obvious facts you've presented them with? You'll put your request in language that is mature, objective, and shows you value their intelligence and maturity. You will have learned how to do all this, in part, by having learned to write academically.

Bonus- all the things in #2 also hold true for the way you present yourself in cover letters, in job interviews, in meetings with employers or customers, communicating with co-workers, etc.

3) This is an internet savvy world. There are on-line job sites, networking sites, and social sites. Current and prospective employers DO look you up and see what you've written on the web. There have been very public cases of young adults losing their jobs because of the content on their web pages. Sure, some of it was due to the pictures on in, but the words that went with the pictures were the proverbial nails in the coffin. These young adults FAILED to consider that their audience would be someone other than their best buds. Imagine an employer reading your meandering rants where the ideas are disorganized, poorly worded, and full of profanity, spelling errors, and grammar not previously used in the English language. Just the first impression you were hoping to make, no doubt.

Again, I can hear you saying, "Yeah, right. Like writing a research paper on the Ottoman Empire is gonna help with any of this crap." My answer? "You betcha'!" At the very least, learning to write academically will help you develop the self-discipline and work ethic that will help carry you through meetings that are a zillion times more boring than any book you were forced to read and to complete mind numbingly dull tasks/reports that your employer will require you to do, even if you're working at Kwik-Fill.

* A paragraph should contain some structure and particular elements, which are listed below in relative order: 1. A Topic sentence- motivates the reader to want to read more. 2. The first main point- proves, backs up, or explain the topic sentence. 3. The second main point- usually provides a reason for the first point made. 4. The third main point- can help p[rove the topic sentence or back up the first or second main point of the paragraph. 5.The conclusion- sums up the main points or ideas and it usually completes the topic.
