Ch 1 "They Say"
Exercises
1)
a. According to their experiments, there are dangerous levels of Chemical X in the Ohio groundwater.
b.Readers find that this novel has certain flaws.
c.It has become common today that females tend to think Football is so boring.
d. Professors observed that male students often dominate class discussions.
e. In their recent review, they argue that the film is really about the problems of romantic relationships.
f. They claim that the templates like the ones in this book will stifle their creativity.
2)
If ever there was an idea custom-made for a Jay Leno monologue, this was it: people that cheats on their exams to get better grades. Isn't that like stealing knowledge that doesn't belong to you and take credit for it? Whatever happened to academic honest and integrity?
I happen to sympathize with dishonest people like these ones, though, perhaps because they don't think they can just study hard like everyone else does and be smart which is pathetic.

You've done a good job at using the templates for introducing what "they say". By you saying things like "It has become common today..." and "In their recent review...," you show relevance to the topic and the fact that it's a usual thing that's happening. However in b. of part 1, you say "Readers...". I think this will be more persuasive in its introduction if you say "Many readers.." or "In their recent review, readers..." I also enjoyed your example in part 2, but you should work on the structure of the last sentence.
ReplyDeleteYour part one of chapter one's exercise was done very well. You used differetn beginnings in each of the six sentences which were done well, yet you followed the template rules at the same time. Part two seemed a little rushed to me. In the future you might benefit if you reread your paragraph to make sure all your words are correct. For example, you said, "...for people who cheats on their exams to get better grades. Isn't that like stealing knowledge that doesn't belong to you and take credit for it?" I think you meant to use cheat and taking. I hope that next time you can reread your work and catch these silly mistakes.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your monologue idea it was very unique! I did find some of the answers in exercise one needed to be clarified a bit more than what was done. In e and f the use of they and their didn't seem to appropriate when it was not previously defined as to who they and their is refering to.
