Again and Again,,, Be Careful!!!


First of all, I wanna apologize to Mrs.Vita for all of my mistakes, mine, or my friends’ that make her uncomfortable.
Well, I would like to tell you about what I’ve get and what I haven’t get yet. It’s started from Wednesday meeting. We had a workshop about comparison & contrast paragraph. In that time, I hold Ima’s composition. It’s a long a long paragraph that I proud of. Why? Because she can make it longer but the content is clear. She gives many points she compared, and she explained it in details. She just need little more careful to get the perfect composition, whereas my writing is really contrast to hers.  My paragraph is a short paragraph and only gives a point of contrast and a point of comparison. Also, it isn’t well organized. It still raises many questions. That’s what I’ve not get yet. I’m not able to compose a long paragraph, give some points in details, and organize well. I have to learn it more. Any suggestions?
Let’s go on to the Friday meeting. There are six students presented their paragraph. In outline, they presented about cause and effect, illustration, report, argumentative, and definition.  What I’ve learned about cause and effect in this section is: when we find a paragraph that explain about cause only/effect only, it’s still named cause &effect, not explanation. Because cause & effect can’t stand alone like comparison & contrast. Where there’s a cause, there must be an effect, and where there’s an effect, there must be a cause. According to me, there’s no paragraph that explain about cause only/effect only. It could be the cause is more dominant and the effect less dominant like Kajol’s paragraph. Or, the effect is more dominant like Ro’is’ paragraph. The next paragraph is illustration. When I read Aida’s paragraph about illustration, I thought that it’s narrative because it tells about someone. But, it’s impossible to say it’s descriptive because it doesn’t describe the person. It just tells about Craig john, doesn’t describe him, and doesn’t present chronological order like narrative. The next paragraph is report. Report paragraph is unlike argumentative because the content of argumentative is debatable, while the content of report is objective information that’s not debatable. Continuing to the next paragraph, it’s argumentative. I’ve just known that there must be a strong position in argumentative paragraph. For the first sight I read Aris’ paragraph, I think the topic sentence is “I disagree ….” because all of sentences give explanation about the disagreement, but actually it just for emphasizing. Well, the last paragraph is definition paragraph by Achy. It’s called definition because it defines pollution, although it mentions the causes of pollution like classification.
That's what I can share for this week, and  really need your comments, guys....
