Worksheet 1- Basics of Writing

A: Divide the sentences as Subject (S) , Verb (V), and Object (O) as shown in the example below:

1. The father buys his son some cookies every week. S /V / O/extra information

2. The school started last week on Sunday at 7:00 a.m. 3. We went to the party with our mother. 4. My brother left to Canada this morning to complete his Masters. 5. It makes me forget all my problems. 6. You have to share it with other friends. 7. We have a car waiting outside.

Leave a space when you start your paragraph.

Begin each sentence with a capital letter. End each sentence with a period, question mark, or exclamation

point. Use capital letters only with proper names, the pronoun 'I', and the

first letter of the first word in each sentence. Write the letters properly on lines, leave space between words.

Each sentence contains a subject, verb and, usually, an object.

Basic sentence structure is Subject + Verb + Object.

WkSht: 3 Questions:

A statement is a sentence that tells you something. A question is a sentence that asks you something. A statement does not require an answer. A question requires an answer. Questions are also known as "interrogatives".

A written question in English always ends with a question mark: (?)

Question Structure

Question Types There are three basic question types:

(Yes/No) questions: the answer is "yes or no" (WH- questions): the answer is "information" Choice questions: the answer is "in the question"

We look at these in more detail below.

(Yes/No) questions:

Sometimes the only answer that we need is yes or no. Look at these examples: auxiliary verb subject not main verb Answer: yes or no

Do you want dinner? Yes, I do.

Can you drive? No, I can't.

Has she not finished her work? Yes, she has.

Did they go home? No, they didn't.

WH-questions:

Sometimes we want more than yes or no for an answer. When asking for information, we usually place a question-word at the beginning of the sentence. The question-word indicates the information that we want, for example: where (place), when (time), why (reason), who (person). Look at these examples:

*When the question-word is who, it acts as the subject. **In Present Simple and Past Simple tenses, there is no auxiliary verb with who.

Choice questions:

Sometimes we give our listener a choice. We ask them to choose between two possible answers. So their answer is (usually) already in the question. Look at these examples:

auxiliary verb subject main verb or answer: in question

Do you want tea or coffee? Coffee, please.

Will we meet John or James? John.

question word auxiliary verb not subject main verb answer: information

Where do you live? In Paris.

When will we have lunch? At 1pm.

Why has n't Tara done it? Because she can't.

Who(m) did she meet? She met Ram.

Who* has run out? Ali has run out.

Who** ran out? Ali ran out.

WRITING # 1 Finish the story (1)

“The Great Find”

Directions: Read the story below. Then finish it with your own writing.

“Marcus, it’s time for you to get up!” my mom called as she pounded on my bedroom door. I looked at the clock on my dresser. It was six in the morning, and I was very grumpy. I stayed up late writing abook report last night and I did not go to sleep until midnight. “Okay Mom, I’ll be out in a minute,” I said. I got out of my bed and took a quick shower. I got dressed and packed my books into my backpack. “Marcus, you are going to be late!” Mom yelled up the stairs. “I’m coming!” I yelled back. I hurried down the stairs. Mom handed me a banana and a bagged lunch as I walked out the door. As I was walking to the bus stop, I spotted a green piece of paper ahead of me on the sidewalk. When I reached it, I picked it up and realized that it was a twenty dollar bill! I looked around to see if anyof my neighbors were outside. There was no one in sight. I stuck the twenty dollar bill into my back pocket and ran to the bus stop. I got there just as the bus was arriving. I got on the bus and sat in the second-to-last seat with my friend James. “Hey, James. What’s up?” Isaid. “Oh, nothing.” James said sadly. “What’s wrong?” I asked. “My mom gave me twenty dollars to buy the soccer ball I wanted” he said. “So…that’s great!” I exclaimed. “Yeah, but I think I lost it. I can’t find it anywhere.” He replied.

“Oh! I feel sorry for you, let’s look for it in the bus!” I said. “No, I have already checked

there” James replied. We decided to search for the twenty dollars after school. During

the school time, I was wondering if I should keep the money for myself or give it back

to him. After school, when James came to me to do what we had planned, I decided to

give it back to him and pretend that I just found it.

WRITING # 1 Finish the story (2)

“Which Way?” Writing Practice – Finish the Story (5)

Directions: Read the story below. Then finish it with your own

writing.

This weekend, I went on my first camping trip. I went with my dad and my

older brother, Sam. We left on Friday morning and drove for four hours until we reached the mountains. I slept

for most of the ride, and Sam woke me up when we reached the park.

“Here we are!” he cheered. I opened my eyes and looked at the forest that surrounded the parking lot. My dad

unloaded our backpacks from the trunk and we set off on the trail. We hiked for about three miles and I became

very hot and tired. We decided to stop and set up camp for the night. Sam found a big flat spot in a grassy area

away from the trail. My dad told Sam and me to catch some fish for dinner from the nearby pond while he pitched

our tent.

Sam had a special fishing pole that folded into a small size so he could carry it in his backpack. He caught three

trout in the pond and I caught two. There were a lot of mosquitoes by the water so we didn’t stay at the pond for

too long. By the time we returned to our campsite, the sun was beginning to set. My dad was relaxing in the tent,

reading a book. We showed him the fish that we caught and he told us that he was very proud of us.

“Can you two gather some wood for the campfire so we can cook the fish?” he asked us. “Sure!” I answered.

“Don’t forget your flashlights!” my dad warned. We grabbed our flashlights from our backpacks and walked

towards the trail.

“Which way should we go?” I asked Sam. The trail led in two different directions. We wereexcited so we just

started running down the trail. After a little while, we gathered as much wood as we could hold. It was time to go

back to the camp site. It was getting dark and I didn’t want to get lost in the middleof the woods!

Sam pointed to the west. “We can either go back the way that we came from, or we can go the otherway. What do

you think?”

We thought we could have an adventure trying the other way. As we were

walking, it was getting darker, and fear started crawling to my thoughts. I was

trying to keep myself together without losing hope. We started to look for a sign to

make sure that we were on the right path. All of a sudden, the tent appeared out

of nowhere. We took a deep breath as we returned home and felt relieved.

Watching Movies Based on a Book

Reading books can be fun, but watching movies based on them can be exciting

too. There are good points and bad points for seeing a movie based on a book you

have already read. It can bring characters to life .So, it becomes easier to

understand the characters, their emotions and experiences.

On the other hand, there are some bad points too, like the movie has to cut out

a lot of the story and the characters are maybe different.

Finally, a movie can bring a book to life, but it also can change the story and

characters in negative way.

CH 24: Worksheet 5: WRITING: Paraphrasing vs. Plagiarizing

When you take notes, you may summarize the information by writing only the important ideas, or you may paraphrase the information by writing all the ideas in your own words. These techniques help you avoid stealing another writer’s words. Copying information word-for-word and presenting it as your own is called plagiarism. Itis never all right to copy directly from another writer without putting the passage in quotation marks and identifying the writer. Write a paraphrase for each of the following passages. Note the important ideas from the passage without copying phrases word-for-word.

1. In the days before incubators, chickens could not be

hatched in the winter. Spring chickens fetched the highest prices in the summer. A dishonest vendor might try to pass off an older chicken as a fresher “spring” chicken. This is the source of the phrase no spring chicken, meaning past one’s prime.

Hitting your funny bone is anything but funny. So why the

humorous name? The reason is that the bone running from the shoulder to the elbow is called the humerus. Someone made a play on words and called it the funny bone. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Advanced Question Response

“What You Read” Directions: Try to answer the question below.

Question: Have you read any good books lately? What kind of books do you like best?

Example Answer: I really enjoy reading science fiction. Science fiction stretches my imagination. The

characters are usually ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances. Although the situations are

fictional, the reactions of the characters are realistic. Science fiction is a different way of looking at

reality.

(My Hobby)

Reading is my passion. I love to read all types of books. I always read

before sleeping. Mostly, I choose a book by reading its review. I feel that by

reading, my brain processes more information and this expands my

knowledge and helps in learning new vocabulary. Reading makes me

understand real life situations better.

If I get bored while reading, I use electronic or audio books. I keep up

my passion by developing my habit of reading daily.

(Writing Sample) (Paper Recycling Program)

Starting a paper recycling program at school can help to conserve our

forests. Each year, each school uses about one ton of paper. If we recycle this

amount, we could save over one hundred trees a year. Moreover, a student

recycling program gives students a chance to contribute in saving the

environment. To sum it up, recycling paper is easy and expensive but it’s the

most wonderful gift we can give to our planet.

Writing # 6 Creative Writing Imagine that you have designed a new type of mobile and trying to market it and sell it. Write a description of your mobile, clearly explaining what it can do and how it works.

(Writing Sample)

Ring! Text message! That’s the sound of my cell phone getting a text. At that moment, I started thinking what if I can design my own mobile. It would be small with multiple abilities. Of course, wireless charger. The screen would be like real eyes. My mobile will answer my calls by only saying,” Pick up”. If it’s far from me I’d say, "On speaker please “. Oh, wish I can have that chance.

Dear Mr. Philip Jia,

Let me introduce myself, my name is Martin and right now I want to choose a good graduate school for

me to continue my study in US, but I’m still confused for which one is the best computer since school

between MIT or Stanford. Since, I have seen in your academic biography that you have taken your study in

both universities. I would really appreciate if you can share me your experiences in both universities. By

the way, the research field that I’m interested in is something related to computer vision and graphics.

Thank you for your help and nice to know you.

Best regards,

Martin
