UFS 211 TASK 6

"The Common Mistakes, Difficulty in Writing, Kind of Problem to face in Writing, Suggestions to overcome the problem."

I always repeat the same mistakes when writing in English. Especially when it comes to present tense sentence and past tense sentence. I found it confusing and sometimes I did not put it in the correct place when writing. At the same time, I will mix up my essay with the present tense and past tense. Without practices and learning, I do find difficulty in writing but as I work hard on improving my skill, actually it's not that hard for me to write in English. In fact, student will say that writing in English is so difficult but of course we will say that if we don't learn to make it easy. I have a few kinds of problem that I always face in writing, firstly is i'm out of ideas. I cannot write if there is no such a good idea that I can think about and this problem always disturb me when writing. Secondly, I always waste my time on reading and editing one by one of the paragraph that I write even when I haven't finish with my writing. Moreover, sometimes I did repeat the same linker which is not suitable for a certain paragraph. But overall I did find a way on how to overcome such problems that I faces when writing, I did a lot of research, read books and novels, keep on writing in English and sometimes I do blogging in English to be more in fluently especially in English language so when I did a lots of reading I will have an inspirations and ideas to start my writing in easy way. From time to time, I keep learning to write the whole paragraph without checking the errors and just continually writing so that at the end of writing, I will spend my time to edit my paragraph without wasting time at the beginning of writing. Linker is everywhere to find in internet and book so I always do research about it and learn which suitable sentences can be used to put a different linker in my paragraph. Every now and then , to write a good paragraph I always start with writing down my ideas and inspiration based on the topic given so it's easy for me to begin my essay.

UFS 211 TASK 4

Topic sentence

Based on my own words.

 There are about 6 stages of writing process. Firstly is getting ideas and inspiration, secondly Drafting, thirdly Revising, Fourth stages is Editing, fifth Proofreading, lastly Presenting.


But a good paragraph will include topic sentences, supporting sentences and concluding sentences.


A good topic sentence will tell the reader know what the story is about. A topic sentence tell the main point of the whole paragraph and supporting sentence to support the topic sentence with details and examples as proof of the topic sentence's point.


Example :
Money causes teenagers to feel stress. It makes them feel bad about themselves and envy other people. My friend, for instance, lives with her family and has to share a room with her sister, who is very cute and intelligent. This girl wishes she could have her own room and have a lot of stuff, but she can’t have these things because her family doesn’t have much money. Her family’s income is pretty low because her father is old and doesn’t go to work. Her sister is the only one who works. Because her family can’t buy her the things she wants, she feels a lot of stress and gets angry sometimes. Once, she wanted a beautiful dress to wear to a sweetheart dance. She asked her sister for some money to buy the dress. She was disappointed because her sister didn’t have money to give her. She sat in silence for a little while and then started yelling out loud. She said her friends got anything they wanted but she didn’t. Then she felt sorry for herself and asked why she was born into a poor family. Not having money has caused this girl to think negatively about herself and her family. It has caused a lot of stress in her life.

So the topic sentence for this paragraph : Money causes teenagers to feel stress.

A good topic sentence is always support by the supporting sentence:
It makes them feel bad about themselves and envy other people. My friend, for instance, lives with her family and has to share a room with her sister, who is very cute and intelligent. This girl wishes she could have her own room and have a lot of stuff, but she can’t have these things because her family doesn’t have much money. Her family’s income is pretty low because her father is old and doesn’t go to work. Her sister is the only one who works. Because her family can’t buy her the things she wants, she feels a lot of stress and gets angry sometimes. Once, she wanted a beautiful dress to wear to a sweetheart dance. She asked her sister for some money to buy the dress. She was disappointed because her sister didn’t have money to give her. She sat in silence for a little while and then started yelling out loud. She said her friends got anything they wanted but she didn’t. Then she felt sorry for herself and asked why she was born into a poor family. Not having money has caused this girl to think negatively about herself and her family. It has caused a lot of stress in her life.

Lastly, a paragraph must have Concluding Sentence that wraps up the whole point of the paragraph.

And the concluding sentence for this paragraph : It has caused a lot of stress in her life.

UFS 211 TASK 3

Stages of "Writing Process"

6 STAGES OF WRITING PROCESS

Based on my own word.

First Stages ( Planning )

- Ideas and Inspiration are very important and useful to start the writing process. We need an idea to come out with a lot of thoughts. Surely, we do need an inspiration from anything that may occurs to our brilliant idea to write a great story. Do lots of research and reading. Normally when we have many ideas, we need to plan which ideas is the best to use in writing, but according to its title. 

• Make sure that your writing is not out from its header.
• procrastination is not good in writing. 

Second Stages ( Drafting )

- In writing the first paragraph, our minds have to be out of its  shell. We need to be more creative to not really focus on grammar, spelling and punctuation. We need to write more than just based on the scheme in writing. 

• A stronger Opening paragraph attracts the reader to be more questioning on what will come in next draft. 
• The Body paragraph or discussion, we need to put on the ideas or aspect from it's topic. 
• Joined in with the explanation, example, facts or opinion to make the paragraph stronger. 
• Don't forget to beautify the verse with connecting words.
• The Ending or Conclusion is needed to be in appropriate ways. Closing words may be in a statement so that the reader might be wondering and asking for more.  

Third Stages ( Revising )

- To make sure that your writing is good and with no mistakes. When finished with writing, we need to read more than once. To figure out whether your topic is actually in it's shell or out of topic. 

• Should I remove or add on a part or even a word from the paragraph. 
• Is it enough word to convince the reader and if there's any statement that i should include in the text.
• Does the text suitable with its connector.
• Beware of using showing-off word or fancy word when you do even not know what does the word means. 

Fourth Stages ( Editing )

- Some part of editing is like revising. Editing is more to be like changing your improper word to proper word. Language and technicalities first than the content. 

• Rules in English to obey. The right grammars, verb-to be are used correctly. 
• Dictionary to correct any words that you might not well in spelling it.

Fifth Stages ( Proofreading )

- After revising and editing, we need to do some proofreading before we come out with printing or email our writing. To make sure our writing is in order and complete with no mistakes such a small mistakes can turn the writing into many language errors. To prevent that, we do really need to remove those invisible blemishes away from our writing. 

Sixth Stages ( Presenting )

- At last the last stages, Presenting. In presenting writing, we have to convince ourselves before trying to convince the reader with our writing. No errors in our writing, time for imperfect changes to perfect writing.

• Handwriting is required to be in neat and legibly.
• Computer, be consistent with its font, spacing and heading levels.

The writing process may be a hard or difficult to some of people. But the easiest way to be pro with writing is always be used with it.

UFS 211 - TASK 1

 WHAT IS LOVE TO YOU?

Love is 'Fragile' for me. It's very valuable and extraordinary gift from God's above. Love wins everything. It is very harmless and sweet. It's very fragile because it will easily be broken into pieces and nothing could stick it again. Love is like a glass, and when a glass is falling into the ground it will be broken, no glue or sticker could put them together unless we find a new glass to replace it. It will be same like love. It will be the same like love, when someone is feeling hurt or what people always call it broken-heart, separate with their loves one or love-rejected only times can fix it. Times will teach us to be patient. Love can wait because patient is a virtue. Love is the greatest thing in the world. Love could win in every battle in life. Even an enemy would be melt in love. Love is not a fake one, it is pure. Love sometimes hurt a person but actually love would definitely strengthen the weak one. Maybe it takes a long time to feel better when we break-up with our partner but the things is love would never end with sadness. But it ends with happiness. Loves can tell us which is wrong and which is the right path in life. It's all about choosing. Love is not about lust because love with carnal desire only bring us to contriteness. Love gains no hatred, it's simple to love people and it's not a difficult thing learn to apologize people when there is love in our heart. That's why i always put in mind that loves bring happiness to life and yet it is true.
