2 weeks

In 17 of October 2012, we discussed about proses analysis paragraph. When I wrote analysis paragraph, I learned that we must still give the concluding sentence because good paragraph must have concluding sentence. If we want to make our paragraph more coherent we can add transition in our paragraph. For examples after that, after this, as, finally, next, etc. The next meeting is 19 of October 2012. In this meeting we discussed abour definition paragraph. A defition paragraph tells what a word means but it doesn't mean dictionary definition. In this meeting, I reviewed Yogi's paragraph but I faced difficulty. I asked Okta and Dina to help me. We discussed together. They explained many things for me. Thank you so much Okta and Dina for your helping. and the last meeting is 24 of October 2012. In this meeting we discussed about argumentative paragraph. In argumentative paragraph, the author must have clear topic sentence that states his position on the issue.we can end our paragraph with concluding sentence than can summarizes the main idea of the paragraph and it should strong statement.

Last week

Last week, we had 3 meetings in writing class. The first meeting is monday (October 8th). In this day, we had workshop about cause and effect paragraph. Sometimes, cause and effect paragraph can only focus on or the effect. But we must know, if there is effect of course we can find the cause. The second meeting is wednesday(Oct 10th). In This meeting, there are three friend who presented their paragraph which had been analysed by them.One of presenter is Trias. When she presented her paragraph, she guessed that her paragraph is persuasive and we discussed it. Because of this reason, I got more information about persuasive paragraph. Persuasive paragraph give detail information to persuade and convince the readers to do or to follow like the author said in his paragraph. The last meeting is friday (Oct 12th). In this meeting , we had workshop about clasification paragraph. In clasification paragraph we also need transition to make clear categories. The transition can tell to the readers when we are moving from one categori to another category. For me, three meetings in writing class last week is important to improve my writing skill.
My problem: I think, I feel hard to speak up when we have discuss or my friends have presentation, but I understand what the materials that we discuss it.

New Experience

 This meeting is very wonderful and this is my first time to know Miss Vita angry. Beside that I can get many things from our meeting (28th September 2012) not only in academic but also in value of life.
If we talk about academic, back to our theme, that is paragraph. Every paragraph have main idea and we can not divide one paragraph into some paragraph because they in ! main idea. We must always remember that in the topic sentence or main idea there is topic of paragraph. Topic paragraph always in phrase or word not in sentence. In this meeting, there are many friends that present their paragraph. We discussed about many types of paragraph, such as definition, argumentative, cause and effect, etc. In argumentative paragraph the author in definite position (agree or disagree with the statement). The author can say that they agree or not in the second sentence after general statement and then their reason. In cause and effect paragraph always show the cause and the effect but sometimes the author most pay attention on the cause or the effect or both of them. In the report paragraph the author just report or give simple information not in very detail information. We must carefully when we identify paragraph or make paragraph.
In this meeting I learn that we must responsible in every things. We must try to do the best and maxcimum if we want to get the best. We can not give up. we must try to improve every thing, learn from mistake can make us better.And I will try it. So guys don't forget to correct my composition. I say thanks for you all.
