16th bel311 class, Thesis Statement.

Thesis Statement it is like a preview of the essay. The reason for placing a thesis in the first paragraph of an essay or as soon after it as possible is that the sooner you state it the more likely you are to remain aware of your main idea and the less likely you are to wander from that idea as you write. A strong thesis statement both names the topic and reveals the writer's opinion about that topic. It should be clear and specific. A thesis statement can also list the supporting ideas, but sometimes these are written in a separate sentence

A thesis statement is a complete sentence that contains one main idea. This idea controls the content of the entire essay. A thesis statement that contains subpoints also helps a reader know how the essay will be organized. Look at the introductory paragraph below. See if you can identify the thesis statement and subpoints.

15th bel311 class. Debate

Monday, 14.1.2013...

class is being more and more happening as today class students going to have a debate. we divide into 4 groups and each pair of group is given a title for us to debate against each other later. Both groups have same number or debater and there will be one person who win a debater award and one group win the debater point. Actually this was my first time going for a debate and it a new experience for me. Always keep in your mind that debate is not what you think you choose, it is what you must stand and fight for even if we did'nt agree with the topic if we become the gov we must agree and give all the point that we agree about it.

My group got the title " Is it considered cheating when your partner (gf/bf/husband/wife) was checking on other beautiful (girls/boys/men/women) on facebook (poke or like)?"

The point i got from this was like or poke is not considered cheating, if you see a funny picture about someone, you want to like the picture as you are like about that funny picture, is it considered cheating? of course no!! it for fun not for anything else others, what do you think fb was created for?? is it for cheating?? or course no!!!! IT WAS CREATED FOR EDUCATION PURPOSE AT FIRST FOR UNIVERSITY STUDENTS AND IT BEEN GAINING POPULARITY TILL THEN IT PURPOSE CAN ALSO FOR CONNECTING PEOPLE THOUGHOUT THE WORLD,BUSINESS AND OTHERS.

Also, some of people used fb for business purpose, checking group, checking some other things that not related to love. Even if a guy like a beautiful girl picture, of course people also have a rights to like things it was not cheating because he only like and poke her, as long as he does'nt chat or comment her it was not called cheating.

That was out of questions, every people need a friends to live. As we are not always with our (gf/bf/husband/wife) when we at work we need friends or co workers to live on. We seek others when we need something, our world have more than a thousand bilions people and if we cannot connecting with them, what the used?

Assalamualaikum. We meet agains :D It is great to know that someone appreciate this blog and used up their valuable time to read this post. Thank you for your support. For today post, the tite is about the facts and opinion. The whether today was rainy and its freezing out here makes my skin very-very dry up. As for today class, it was held on Tuesday 8.1.2013 at U214. I’m arrived a bit early today because the class before this class ended earlier than usual. It was an unusual day for this week as I’m always bring up my bel311 text books to the class but today I am forgot to bring it. The text books was left at the hostel and I don’t want to go back there in this rainy wheather and wet my cloth just to take one textbook. So, I’m just went to class without it and after im arrived, just 4 minutes after Miss Zur entered the class. She asked us to show our blog to her, what did we do? There were many mistakes that need to be corrected and she wants some idea and creativity from us to put it in our blog. She was expecting us to write more word and minimum word for one a post is 100 words. Then she says “ If you write something in the blog, don’t make it as simpleton and not take it seriously(asal buat) because the thing that you write will not be good. We all must getting used to writing in the blog and google search for article and anything that got got to do with the class that we learnt that day. Miss Zur concern was not the appearance but what in it that Miss Zur want to see it is the contains of what we write. Okay now we talk about what we should and should not put in the blog according to Miss Zur blogger law :P

Things that we can put on our blogger:

1. Reflection, all things that happen in the class.
2. Some links that we can put, as long as it was got to do with the class.
3. The title must be interesting
4. We can also be interactive
5. Express our thought and opinion about the class and the blogger.
6. Show some effort for this blog, do not delay the work as it will pill up bigger and bigger that why we don’t have time to finnish them on later days.

Things that we don’t put inside our blogger:
1. Grammar mistakes
2. Lazy works and same meaning to it.
3. And all the stuff that piss off Miss Zur. Kekeke
Now, we learned about Facts and opinion..

• Facts is a specific detail that can be proven as true based on objective evidence
                  For example :Fikri was born on 19/3/1993
• Opinion is a feeling, judgement, belief or conclusion that cannot be proven true by objective evidence.
For example : Fikri is a handsome boy.( others may find it absurb and say he was not handsome at all).


Then, we do some exercise about facts and opinion, know the traits of facts and opinion. Separating facts and opinion.

Facts :
• Objective
• Stated
• Can be verified
• Specific detail and it was proven can be trust.

Opinions :
• Subjective
• Adjective
• Interprets reality

For the term paper that we do, the word and main idea must proven by the facts. ( based from the material we search)

Scannning Technique

• this is a selective reading skill to locate facts and answer specific question
• to save time you do not need to read every word on the pages
• You can scan a timetable, pages of dictionary, charts, table etc

Skimming Technique

• reading this is a reading skill employed to obtain the general idea of a text, to find out the writers point of view and to see how the content in a passage are arranged
• when a text or a passage is too long and we have limited time, we use this technique
• when skimming, look for key words and phrases, the heading or subheading for the general idea of the passage.

10th Bel311 class. Summarize

Today class was special because it was on the new year. Today date 1/1/2013 Tuesday. New year was celebrate yesterday night but we still attend class because Uitm Johor did'nt took public holidays for today.

The class was held at u214, we were discussed about the homework that she gave to us yesterday. need to completed exercised from text book. We discussed about "Paraphrasing". Miss zu chosen several person to answer their question start from this day onward my favorite page of bel311 books was page 55-58. If i want to get high marks and increase my performance in english that page is the one i must read frequently. Summary is a shorter version of the essay. It's contain same meaning and same main idea of the essay but it words in it was shorter than the words in the essay. We learn about MIDAS today, M for main idea, I for identify supprot detail, D design, A analyze redundant information and S stand for simplification. We do some exercise find it topic and then summarize them some of dust devil and tornadoes. :D

What is Summarizing??
>Summarizing is how we take larger selections of text and reduce them to their bare essentials: the gist, the key ideas, the main points that are worth noting and remembering. Webster's calls a summary the "general idea in brief form"; it's the distillation, condensation, or reduction of a larger work into its primary notions.
>
">What Are We Doing When We Summarize??
We strip away the extra verbiage and extraneous examples. We focus on the heart of the matter. We try to find the key words and phrases that, when uttered later, still manage to capture the gist of what we've read. We are trying to capture the main ideas and the crucial details necessary for supporting them.

What the mistakes im usually do... :huhu

• i'm write down everything back
• i'm write down next to nothing
• i'm give the complete sentences
• i'm  writing way too much
• i'm don't write enough
• i'm copy word for word

What should i do when doing summarizing..?

• pull out main ideas
• focus on key details
• use key words and phrases
• break down the larger ideas
• write only enough to convey the gist
• take succinct but complete notes
