The document provides guidelines for writing a thesis statement in 5 steps and describes 3 levels of thesis statements from simple to advanced. It explains that a level 1 thesis simply restates the prompt question without analysis, a level 2 thesis uses passive voice to observe relationships, and a level 3 thesis is the most advanced level using active voice and specific, sophisticated categories to directly answer the prompt. It emphasizes the importance of carefully reading the prompt, brainstorming categories and evidence, and reevaluating the thesis to elevate it from a level 1 or 2 to a level 2.5 or 3.

Complementation of Verbs
Complementation of VerbsNurul Syazlin
油
This document discusses different types of verb complementation patterns, including intransitive, copular, and transitive patterns. Intransitive verbs have no complement and follow a subject-predicate structure. Copular verbs link a subject to a subject complement and follow a subject-predicate-complement structure. Transitive verbs take a direct object and can be mono-transitive, di-transitive, or complex transitive depending on their structure. Examples are provided to illustrate each pattern type.The Complex sentence - Coordination and Subordination
The Complex sentence - Coordination and SubordinationMery Kul
油
This document discusses complex sentences and the different types of clauses that can be used to form complex sentences. It defines coordination as linking two clauses of equal grammatical status, while subordination involves linking one main clause to a dependent clause. Dependent clauses can be finite, containing a finite verb, non-finite with a non-finite verb like a gerund or infinitive, or verbless. The document provides examples of complex sentences using different types of dependent clauses and examines the similarities and differences between coordination and subordination.
Gender representation
Gender representationnushy1993
油
The document discusses gender representation in music videos. It notes that women are typically objectified and portrayed in stereotypical gender roles and occupations. They are shown as sexual objects for the male gaze. Men are typically portrayed as dominant and in control. Feminism in the 1960s-70s sought to challenge these stereotypes and fight for equal rights and opportunities for women. Later, post-feminism introduced the idea of the "female gaze" where women desire men and assert their sexuality. The male gaze was explored in 1975 as voyeurism where women are displayed for visual pleasure.

The document discusses essay questions as an assessment tool. It defines an essay question as requiring an examinee to compose a response in sentence form that cannot be judged as solely right or wrong and requires subjective evaluation. Effective essay questions require students to compose rather than select responses consisting of multiple sentences allowing for original answers. The document also discusses advantages and limitations of essay questions, how to construct them to clearly assess learning outcomes, and how to improve essay questions through review and revision.COMMON WRITING STYLE PROBLEMS WHEN WRITING SCHOLARLY EXPOSITORY ES

I. INTRODUCTION 油油油
A scholarly expository essay presents an argument, a thesis that is your interpretation of a topic. It develops an idea about a subject, building from a thesis statement that advances in a coherent, logical manner your opinion, conviction, evaluation, discovery, or point of view on a subject. An expository essay is similar to an editorial debate in油The New York Times油or the油Wall Street Journal油but only more high-powered and scholarly. See also the Expository Essay guide in the Work on Your Expository Essay module.
An argument, a critical analytical interpretation, is neither a violent disagreement nor an assertion. It is a statement supported by reason and evidence.
A thesis is an argument, and a thesis statement supplies an opinion and a reason or explanation for that opinion.
Discuss both your ideas AND your opponents' viewpoint(s) on your topic. Your argument in a scholarly expository essay must explore various sides of the topic. You cannot be one-sided in your scholarly expository essay.
油油油油油油油油油油油 For example, you favor abortion. In your essay, you must, however, present the anti-abortion side along with the pro-abortion side.
II. OBJECTIVES
Entries #1 through #38 are from the third edition of油Writing Worth Reading油(1997) by Nancy Huddleston Packer and John Timpane. Writing Worth Reading is the writing style and grammar authority that the instructor follows.油Entries #39 through #45 are culled from other writing style manuals.
For writing informative and expository essays, students must learn to avoid the problems discussed under entries #5, #6, #7, #11, #12, #22, #23, #26 through #36, and #39 through #45.
Computer spell/grammar check software programs are not foolproof.油
Unless stated otherwise, one point is deducted for at least one occurrence of a problem identified by the item number in the expository essay.
Use this guide along with both the Expository Essay and Endnotes guides. All three guides are located in the same module.
Caveat on quoted passages in your essay:油Many of the following rules regarding writing style problems are ignored when they appear within quoted passages. If you want to indicate a correction or the correction information then one common way to rectify glaring writing style problems that appear within quoted passages is to supply the change within square brackets.

The document discusses English for Academic Purposes (EAP), which refers to the language skills needed to study or work in English-medium higher education. The aims of EAP are to enable students to write coherently and provide academic writing practice for students who need to write essays or research reports in English. EAP helps students learn the language needed for their specific academic fields through understanding text structures, identifying language cues, and practicing different types of academic writing.ESSAY TYPE OF TEST

The document discusses essay questions as an assessment tool. It defines an essay question as requiring an examinee to compose a response in sentence form that cannot be judged as solely right or wrong and requires subjective evaluation. Effective essay questions require students to compose rather than select responses consisting of multiple sentences allowing for original answers. The document also discusses advantages and limitations of essay questions, how to construct them to clearly assess learning outcomes, and how to improve essay questions through review and revision.COMMON WRITING STYLE PROBLEMS WHEN WRITING SCHOLARLY EXPOSITORY ES

I. INTRODUCTION 油油油
A scholarly expository essay presents an argument, a thesis that is your interpretation of a topic. It develops an idea about a subject, building from a thesis statement that advances in a coherent, logical manner your opinion, conviction, evaluation, discovery, or point of view on a subject. An expository essay is similar to an editorial debate in油The New York Times油or the油Wall Street Journal油but only more high-powered and scholarly. See also the Expository Essay guide in the Work on Your Expository Essay module.
An argument, a critical analytical interpretation, is neither a violent disagreement nor an assertion. It is a statement supported by reason and evidence.
A thesis is an argument, and a thesis statement supplies an opinion and a reason or explanation for that opinion.
Discuss both your ideas AND your opponents' viewpoint(s) on your topic. Your argument in a scholarly expository essay must explore various sides of the topic. You cannot be one-sided in your scholarly expository essay.
油油油油油油油油油油油 For example, you favor abortion. In your essay, you must, however, present the anti-abortion side along with the pro-abortion side.
II. OBJECTIVES
Entries #1 through #38 are from the third edition of油Writing Worth Reading油(1997) by Nancy Huddleston Packer and John Timpane. Writing Worth Reading is the writing style and grammar authority that the instructor follows.油Entries #39 through #45 are culled from other writing style manuals.
For writing informative and expository essays, students must learn to avoid the problems discussed under entries #5, #6, #7, #11, #12, #22, #23, #26 through #36, and #39 through #45.
Computer spell/grammar check software programs are not foolproof.油
Unless stated otherwise, one point is deducted for at least one occurrence of a problem identified by the item number in the expository essay.
Use this guide along with both the Expository Essay and Endnotes guides. All three guides are located in the same module.
Caveat on quoted passages in your essay:油Many of the following rules regarding writing style problems are ignored when they appear within quoted passages. If you want to indicate a correction or the correction information then one common way to rectify glaring writing style problems that appear within quoted passages is to supply the change within square brackets.
