NARRATIVE WRITING
A narrative tells a story or describes
a sequence of events. It may be
about something
unusual , for
example a strange encounter or
event, a crisis, a conflict a victory ,
an exciting adventure or discovery.
However it may also e about
ordinary experience , the things that
happen everyday.
DESCRIPTIVE ESSAY
The purpose of writing is to describe the details of a specific event
Since you have no notes to fall back on, you need to come up with your own details
You can use your senses to help you give the details:
What do you see
What do you hear
What do you taste
What do you feel
What do you think
When describing an event, you can think of:
The purpose of then event
The date , time and venue
The people involved
The sequence of events
Everything you see , hear, taste, feel or think
Other peoples views
A good introduction and a good conclusion
EXPOSITORY WRITING
When writing your expository essay, follow these eight basic steps:
Select
a topic:
Be sure the topic is narrow enough to make it manageable within the space of an essay
Write
a thesis sentence:
Be sure the thesis statement(or sentence) expresses a controlling idea that is neither too
broad nor too specific to be developed effectively
Select
a method of development:
Check through all the methods before you finally settle on the one
which will best serve your thesis:
definition | example | compare and contrast |
cause and effect | classification | process analysis
Organize
the essay:
Begin by listing the major divisions which the body paragraphs in your essay will discuss; then fill in the primary supports that
each body paragraph of the essay will contain
Write topic sentences for the body paragraphs of the essay:
For each body paragraph, furnish a topic sentence that directly relates to the thesis sentence
Write
the body paragraphs of the essay:
Each body paragraph should develop the primary support covered in that paragraph's topic sentence
Furnish
a paragraph of introduction:
An introductory paragraph should state the thesis of the essay, introduce the divisions in the body paragraphs of the essay, and
gain the interest of the reader
Write
a paragraph of conclusion:
Restate the thesis and divisions of the essay
Bring the essay to an appropriate and effective close
Avoid digressing into new issues
ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAY

READING COMPREHENSION
Guidelines for comprehension
Read the whole passage through once to get a general idea of what the passage is
about. Do not worry if you come across unfamiliar words. Sometimes, it is not
necessary to understand every word you read.
Read the passage a second time, if necessary. The second reading helps you take in
the details and improve your understanding.
Read the questions carefully. Use cue words in the questions to help you answer the
questions. These can be the wh words (what, when, where, why, who, whose,
how) and action verbs (identify, find, list).
Questions sometimes contain words found in the passage. Use these words to help
you identify the part of the passage where the answer can be found.
You can lift clauses or sentences from the passage to answer questions. You do not
have to use your own words unless you are told to do so. Moreover, there is a danger
in paraphrasing you might alter/distort the meaning expressed in the passage.
For questions on vocabulary, if you are asked for a word, then give only ONE word
and nothing else. Make sure you spell the word correctly. If you are asked for a
phrase, then give the relevant phrase.
Some questions require you to use your own words and you must do so.
Do pay attention to the tense used in the questions when formulating your answers.
Pitfalls to avoid
1.Do not give more than the required
information. Sometimes, students copy chunks
from a text, giving two or more sentences.
This only highlights their weakness failure to
understand the question and/or text.
2.Do not give two or more answers to a
question. Some students write down all the
possible answers to a question just to be on
the safe side.
3.Do not waste time paraphrasing answers
unless you are asked to do so.
SUMMARY WRITING INVOLVES SPECIFIC SKILLS SUCH AS
THE FOLLOWING
:
Selection This means choosing information that is relevant to
your answer. Information that is relevant to your answer
depends on the aspect(s) of the text you are to summarise.
Condensation This means reducing the length of the given
information while preserving the important points. This can be
done by omitting unimportant details, or using single words to
replace phrases or clauses.
Reorganisation or rearrangement This means taking the
given information and arranging it in a different way.
Paraphrasing or restatement This means saying something in
a different way, without changing the meaning.
