Lecture 2
what we want to focus on in this chapter is the ability to write a decent paragraph about education and students life but before we do that let's start some important things that we have to do before we are able to write ,things to do before writing, obviously before you write the first thing you have is choose the topic .now in order to choose a topic of course it has to be something that interests you , that you would like to write about and read about first to gather information about , but sometimes such as in your situation you don't have the freedom because we have to be together in this and choose a topic for you so everyone would do it so I'm sorry I apologize , however it shouldn't be that bad student life and education is very important topic and widely discussed so that's one thing you have to do ,
1- choose a topic
2- a brain storming
3- topic sentence
What dose that mean?
Brain storming we will get to know that..and after words you have to organize you what ideas should be in there, in order
Last thing you can do write the topic sentence that's the thing that we will reach in this lecture is to reach the ability to write a topic sentence.
1- How to choose a topic ?
If we want to choose a topic
Let’s say our topic will be "students' life " or education" these topics are broad terms so you can pick a sub topic from these topics and relates to education in general.
Let's say instead of writng about students life let's discuss this topic "
"living away from home"
Also talking about education is difficult because it is a very broad topic. We want to be focused
When we write about student life ..what part of student's life we would like to talk about? Which part? Because we can't talk about it in general..
**to choose a topic to write about, the topic should be specific , limited and focused.
2- "Brain storming"
What is brainstorming?
It is to think of your topic not in organized way but in unorganized way. We use brainstorming to collect any ideas come to our mind and write them down
For example if I'm going to write about "living away from home " what ideas come to my mind ?
- Housing
- Travling
- Rent
- Roommate
You don't have to organize your ideas just write them
"This is the strategy of brainstorming "
هنا يتكلم عن استراتيجية العصف الذهني هي استراتيجية سهلة ونستخدمها عندما نريد ان نكتب عن موضوع ما عشان نجمع اي افكار في بالنا بدون الحاجة الى التنظيم بس تجميع اكبر قدر من الافكار التي نحب ان نطرحها ..
After we brain storm we organize our ideas according to importance .we organize them in order using logic we organize it in away that is easy for the reader to understand the ideas that you wrote about.
2- topic sentence
Let’s come to topic sentence : topic sentence is the most important idea in the paragraph usually it is the first sentence in the paragraph.
e.g: living away from home is hard.
..this sentence is the topic sentence and it the first sentence .the rest of the sentence are supporting ideas which will tell us way living away from home is hard .the rest of the sentences are more information to explain why and how living away from home is hard ..
هنا الفكرة بسيطة بيتكلم كيف بعد ما نختار الموضوع الذي نحب نكتب عنه ..اذا كان الموضوع شامل و كبير نحاول نخلية اكثر تحديد .نصغر الموضوع قدر المستطاع..بعد ذلك نعمل عصف ذهني عشان نجمع كل الافكار في بالنا عن الموضوع ثم نقوم بترتيب الافكار بشكل منطقي و سهل ..الفكره الاساسيه .topic sentence دائما نضعها اول جملة الجمل و باقي الجمل عبارة عن شرح للتدعيم الفكرة الرئيسية.
