  14. Some useful tips about your essays (sentence level): • Do not use short forms of verbs or abbreviations • Use semiformal (neutral) style • Avoid strong negative words (Nobody likes it, I hate them.) • Avoid assertive language, use hedges (Some people believe/consider/argue that, It seems to be…, It is believed that…, It is unlikely that… ) • Refer to your personal opinion when necessary (In my opinion…, As for me.., To my mind…)

  15. Some useful tips about your essays (text level): • Write an introduction and conclusion • Write well-developed paragraphs: topic sentence + support (arguments/examples) • Use linking/transition words between paragraphs (therefore, thus,nevertheless, moreover, furthermore, on the one/other hand, in conclusion, for example…) • Use sequencing (First, Secondly, Thirdly, Then, Next, Finally…)

  16. Problems with reading skills • Word attack skills: using context clues and using structural information: antidisestablishmentarianism • Reading in meaningful units, not in isolated words. • Scanning (a date, a figure, a name, a word) • Skimming (general, overall idea of the whole text) • Prediction/anticipation • Recognizing organizational patterns (connectors) • Distinguishing general statements from specific details • Inference and conclusion • Evaluation and appreciation
