  9. Three Difficult Words In English, three words are very troublesome for me. “Chili” is the first word. When I am near Americans, I am afraid to say the word for “chili” in Thai because the word has a bad meaning in English. For example, last week in the supermarket I asked my friend in Thai where the chili was. Two American women looked at me and thought how impolite I was. “Can’t” is the second difficult word because I can’t distinguish between “can” and “can’t” when Americans say this word. Therefore, I often misunderstand what someone is saying, or I miss the point of a story because of this word. The last word is my name, Srirathane. When someone says my name in English , I feel unpleasant because what they say in Thai, has a bad meaning. My Thai friends always laugh when they hear an American say my name. For these reasons, I avoid the first two words, and I have adopted a nickname, “Kee”.Write an outline

  10. Ask yourself the following questions: • Does my topic sentence make a point that can be supported with examples? • Does my paragraph contain sufficient examples that clearly support the topic sentence? • Did I use transitions to smoothly connect my examples? • Have I arranged my examples in a logical order?
