Introduction:
Now sit down and write the essay. The introduction should grab the reader's attention, set up the issue, and lead in to your thesis. Your intro is merely a buildup of the issue, a stage of bringing your reader into the essay's argument.

(Note: The title and first paragraph are probably the most important elements in your essay. This is an essay-writing point that doesn't always sink in within the context of the classroom. In the first paragraph you either hook the reader's interest or lose it. Of course your teacher, who's getting paid to teach you how to write an essay, will read the essay you've written regardless, but in the real world, readers make up their minds about whether or not to read your essay by glancing at the title alone.)

           Paragraphs:
 Each individual paragraph should be focused on a single idea that supports your thesis. Begin paragraphs with topic sentences, support assertions with evidence, and expound your ideas in the clearest, most sensible way you can. Speak to your reader as if he or she were sitting in front of you. In other words, instead of writing the essay, try talking the essay.
           Conclusion: 
Gracefully exit your essay by making a quick wrap-up sentence, and then end on some memorable thought, perhaps a quotation, or an interesting twist of logic, or some call to action. Is there something you want the reader to walk away and do? Let him or her know exactly what.


           Language:
You're not done writing your essay until you've polished your language by correcting the grammar, making sentences flow, incoporating rhythm, emphasis, adjusting the formality, giving it a level-headed tone, and making other intuitive edits. Proofread until it reads just how you want it to sound. Writing an essay can be tedious, but you don't want to bungle the hours of conceptual work you've put into writing your essay by leaving a few slippy misppallings and pourly wordedd phrazies..
You're done. Great job. Tanx Mizz Zu,, hahah

(Of course Hemingway was a fiction writer, not an essay writer, but he probably knew how to write an essay just as well.)

Common Errors

We've heard professors complain that students seem to make the same grammar mistakes over and over again. Indeed, a study by Andrea Lunsford and Robert Connors show that this impression is correct: twenty different grammatical mistakes comprise 91.5 percent of all errors in student writing. If professors can teach students to control these common errors, they will alleviate most of the grammar errors that they find so distracting.
Twenty Most Commonly Occurring Errors

1. No comma after introductory phrases

2. Vague pronoun reference

3. No comma in compound sentence

4. Wrong word

5. No comma in non-restrictives

6. Wrong/missing inflected ends

7. Wrong/missing preposition

8. Comma splice

9. Possessive apostrophe error

10. Tense shift

11. Unnecessary shift in person

12. Sentence fragment

13. Wrong tense or verb form

14. Subject-verb agreement

15. Lack of comma in a series

16. Pronoun agreement error

17. Unnecessary commas with restrictives

18. Run-on, fused sentence

19. Dangling, misplaced modifier

20. Its/it's error

                                       Hai Seniman !!

Alhamdulillah, this is our 7th time in class with Miss Zu, at BK16,  among our class in here. But everything were just fine just now. With full of suprise, we've been told to pick some scene from Allahyarham P.Ramlee for us to re-act and to translate the script to English. Though yesterday Miss Zu asked us to prepare for the noung thing, but, unfortunately, because there's a lack of a very important equipment,But i think i is very ockward doing such a play.

We've been devided into 5 groups, and my group members are, Alif, Daddy, Farah and Ida. We have picked the scence from Seniman Bujang Lapok and some scene from Ibu Mertuaku. I've translated the "Malam Dipagar Bintang" song to English, and it sounds a bit horrible since the pitch and the tune is everywhere. Urghh.

Seriously today class was very fascinating and funny,, many joy was ( past tense) created today as joke made from the other group is very hilarious, thou i didn't quite understand our objectif (maybe i didnt pay attention fully to her lesson) but it is still memorable . :0     

Prewriting Techniques =)

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)

DEFINITION

    A thesis statement is a complete sentence

       that contains one main idea.  This idea controls

          the content of the entire essay.  A thesis

              statement that contains subpoints also helps a

                 reader know how the essay will be organized.

                     Look at the introductory paragraph below.  See

                          if you can identify the thesis statement and

                               subpoints.

;::)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???

• just a warm up call for us to prepare before really began our essay writing,, cehh,, hahah,,, it set up our mind to organize idea, and enhance your skill,, more or less, maybe!! 

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

i think no note will be added here,, I really like this topic. it want u think freely and write down anything in come across in your mind,, I also have an example to show to you :

    cout "just gonna stand there and hear me cry. that all                                  

           right because i love the way u lie..  try to                    

           touch me, so i can scream to you not to touch 

           me, burn down the room and i follow u like a    

           lost puppy " endl;

     ( at this time i was listing to rihana's songs 'i   

      love the way u lie) 

bla,bla,bla, after that they all the same.
so good bye for now..

PRONOUNS

This is much i know about pronouns
What is PRONOUN?A pronoun can replace a noun or another pronoun. You use pronouns like "he," "which," "none," and "you" to make your sentences less cumbersome and less repetitive.
Grammarians classify pronouns into several types, including the personal pronoun, the demonstrative pronoun, the interrogative pronoun, the indefinite pronoun, the relative pronoun, the reflexive pronoun, and the intensive pronoun.

Example :


I              Me         Mine
She          Her        Hers
He           Him        His        
We          Us          Ours
They        Them      Theirs
It             It           Its
You          You        Yours
 

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
I, me, you, he, him, she...

Demonstrative Pronouns
this, that, these, those

Possessive Pronouns
mine, yours, his...

Interrogative Pronouns
who, what, which...

Reflexive Pronouns
myself, yourself, himself...

Reciprocal Pronouns
each other, one another

Indefinite Pronouns
another, much, nobody, few, such...

Relative Pronouns
who, whom, which...

Pronoun Case
subjective, objective, possessive

Personal Pronouns

A personal pronoun refers to a specific person or thing and changes its form to indicate person, number, gender, and case.

Subjective Personal Pronouns

A subjective personal pronoun indicates that the pronoun is acting as the subject of the sentence. The subjective personal pronouns are "I," "you," "she," "he," "it," "we," "you," "they."
In the following sentences, each of the highlighted words is a subjective personal pronoun and acts as the subject of the sentence:

I was glad to find the bus pass in the bottom of the green knapsack.

You are surely the strangest child I have ever met.

Objective Personal Pronouns

In the following sentences, each of the highlighted words is an objective personal pronoun:

You will find "who," "whom," and occasionally "which" used to refer to people, and "which" and "what" used to refer to things and to animals.
"Who" acts as the subject of a verb, while "whom" acts as the object of a verb, preposition, or a verbal.
The highlighted word in each of the following sentences is an interrogative pronoun:

Which wants to see the dentist first?

"Which" is the subject of the sentence.

In each of the following sentences, the highlighted word is a relative pronoun.

Note that some indefinite pronouns can also be used as indefinite adjectives.
