THESIS STATEMENT.....

The Thesis
Statement

• tells the reader how you will interpret the significance of the subject matter under discussion.
• is a road map for the paper; in other words, it tells the reader what to expect from the rest of the paper.
• directly answers the question asked of you. A thesis is an interpretation of a question or subject, not the subject itself.
• makes a claim that others might dispute.
• is usually a single sentence somewhere in your first paragraph that presents your argument to the reader. The rest of the paper, the body of the essay, gathers and organizes evidence that will persuade the reader of the logic of your interpretation.
• The thesis statement is typically located at the end of your opening paragraph. (The opening paragraph serves to set the context for the thesis.)

How do I write it?

• Look again at your Statement of Purpose
• Look at the kinds of information you have been finding while taking notes.
• Decide what kind of statement you have enough evidence to prove.
  (Be sure that you have done enough research to make a strong argument. You may be challenged.)
• Write that as your thesis statement.

There are many ways to approach writing a thesis statement.
Just make sure that it is not simple a fact and that you can support it with good evidence from reliable sources.

Here are some ways to approach it:

• Define a problem and state your opinion about it
• Discuss the current state of an issue or problem and predict how it might resolve
• Put forth a possible solution to a problem
• Look at an issue/topic from a new, interesting perspective
• Theorize how the world might be different today if something had/had not happened in the past
• Compare two or more of something similar and give your rating about them (cars, authors,computers, colleges, books)
• Put out your ideas about how something was influenced to be the way it is or was (music, art, political leadership, genocide)

Prewriting Techniques =)

INTRODUCTION???

• Prewriting techniques involve warming up your – the student’s – brain, organizing ideas, and setting up a plan before diving straight into writing a composition.
•  It may take just a little extra time, but you will find that if you practice some prewriting  before every essay you write, your papers will be better written overall, which will in effect give a better overall grade. 
• Ten or fifteen minutes of extra work may be the difference between a B and an A grade for your paper.

Mind mapping

• it is one of the quickest ways to organize ideas in a fun manner.
• Circling ideas and linking the related ones that surround your main idea is a messy way to be organized… which ends up feeling a lot more enjoyable than most homework does.

Brainstorming

• Writing down every idea that is related to your topic in a list form is one of the simplest forms of prewriting, which is called brainstorming.
•  The great thing about brainstorming is that you can put anything in the list that pops into your head.

Free Writing

• There is nothing more freeing than knowing you can write whatever you want without worrying about grammar, spelling, structure, or coherence.
•  That is the joy of free writing – you are free to make mistakes and write whatever you want.
• The trick is to force yourself to continually keep your pen on the paper and write whatever thought comes to mind, while trying to think of your essay’s subject. 
•  By reading over your free writing afterwards, you should highlight or underline any ideas you find useful to your essay.

Quick Writing

-THE END-

Learns Pronouns???

Mr.Google,can you give a note about Pronoun???hehehe

Pronouns

Pronouns are small words that take the place of a noun. We can use a pronoun instead of a noun. Pronouns are words like: he, you, ours, themselves, some, each... If we didn't have pronouns, we would have to repeat a lot of nouns. We would have to say things like:

• Do you like the president? I don't like the president. The president is too pompous.

With pronouns, we can say:

Do you like the president? I don't like him. He is too pompous.

    

Personal Pronouns

Personal pronouns represent specific people or things. We use them depending on:

• number: singular (eg: I) or plural (eg: we)
• person: 1st person (eg: I), 2nd person (eg: you) or 3rd person (eg: he)
• gender: male (eg: he), female (eg: she) or neuter (eg: it)
• case: subject (eg: we) or object (eg: us)     

Demonstrative Pronouns

• demonstrate (verb): to show; to indicate; to point to

A demonstrative pronoun represents a thing or things:

• near in distance or time (this, these)
• far in distance or time (that, those)

Possessive Pronouns

We use possessive pronouns to refer to a specific person/people or thing/things (the "antecedent") belonging to a person/people (and sometimes belonging to an animal/animals or thing/things).

We use possessive pronouns depending on:

• number: singular (eg: mine) or plural (eg: ours)
• person: 1st person (eg: mine), 2nd person (eg: yours) or 3rd person (eg: his)
• gender: male (his), female (hers)

Interrogative Pronouns

We use interrogative pronouns to ask questions. The interrogative pronoun represents the thing that we don't know (what we are asking the question about).

There are four main interrogative pronouns: who, whom, what, which

Notice that the possessive pronoun whose can also be an interrogative pronoun (an interrogative possessive pronoun).

Reflexive Pronouns

reflexive (adj.) [grammar]: reflecting back on the subject, like a mirror

We use a reflexive pronoun when we want to refer back to the subject of the sentence or clause. Reflexive pronouns end in "-self" (singular) or "-selves" (plural).

Reciprocal Pronouns

reciprocal (adj.):given or done in return;[grammar] expressing mutual action

We use reciprocal pronouns when each of two or more subjects is acting in the same way towards the other. For example, A is talking to B, and B is talking to A. So we say:

• A and B are talking to each other.

Indefinite Pronouns

An indefinite pronoun does not refer to any specific person, thing or amount. It is vague and "not definite". Some typical indefinite pronouns are:

• all, another, any, anybody/anyone, anything, each, everybody/everyone, everything, few, many, nobody, none, one, several, some, somebody/someone

Relative Pronouns

A relative pronoun is a pronoun that introduces a relative clause. It is called a "relative" pronoun because it "relates" to the word that it modifies. Here is an example:

• The person who phoned me last night is my teacher.

In the above example, "who":

• relates to "person", which it modifies
• introduces the relative clause "who phoned me last night"

There are five relative pronouns: who, whom, whose, which, that

Pronoun Case

Pronouns (and nouns) in English display "case" according to their function in the sentence. Their function can be:

• subjective (they act as the subject)
• objective (they act as the object)
• possessive (they show possession of something else)
