The little children can’t play; they use mechanical toys instead－toy cranes, hoisting toy loads, toy machinery spreading a toy industrial depression of infantile dullness.

See Exercises on P2.

1. Storms are bad. 2. The speed limit near my home is 65 miles per hour. 3. Studying with others has several benefits, but it also has

1. Controlling idea should NOT be too broad. 2. A simple statement of fact cannot be controlling idea,
• And also, we could get inspired by the nature to imagine and create. Inspired by apples down from the tree, Newton found the principle of gravity. Inspired by the shape of a plant, Chinese architecture Luban invented saw.
A-2: Use parallel structures
• Please see the following example.
Americans are queer people: they can’t play. Americans rush to work as soon as they grow up. They want their work as soon as they wake. It is a stimulant－the only one they are not afraid of. They used to open their offices at ten o’clock; then at nine; then at eight; then at seven. Now they never shut them. Every business in America is turning into an open-allday-and-night business. They eat all night, dance all night, build buildings all night, make a noise all night.
A Use a coherent structure
– A natural or easily recognized order – Use parallel structures
• A paragraph with clearly connected sentences is said to be coherent.
• It is concerned with the form, or organization of the paragraph.
How to achieve coherence
See Sample on P1.
Principles of good writing

Support

• Essential Components – A good thesis should contain subject and controlling idea(s).
– It is difficult to live alone in a foreign country.
Other examples
• My Most Tiring Trip • The storm did a great deal of
damage to our farm.
– The hail leveled our rice and cotton crops.
– The rain caused our stock pond flood and drown three small calves.
A. Use a coherent structure
– A natural or easily recognized order – Use parallel structures
B. Repetition of key words
– Use the word itself – Use pronouns to refer to nouns in preceding sentences – Use word-clusters (words appear in the same context) – Use general words to replace specific words
Topic sentence 2 (supporting point 2) Specific evidence
Topic sentence 3 (supporting point 3) Specific evidence
Conclusion
Summary/General closing remarks
rather it should be an argumentative point. 3. A good thesis develops only one idea. 4. Controlling idea should NOT be presented in an
indirect way. 5. Weaker topic sentences are often simple personal
– The winds unroofed sour hay barn and two chicken houses.
In-class activity
