  1. Earl J. Noble I rock, you rock, we rock together.

  2. Welcome! How was your weekend? • Greetings • noble@sungshin.ac.kr • If you email me, please use the code in the subject line every time. Fantastic!

  3. Email coding [name] [class days] [class type] [room number] [keyword] Example: Happy Girl WF 307 blog address

  4. Class Mantra Take a deep breath and then say: • I love speaking English. • I am calm and relaxed when I speak English. • I am not shy or scared. • I am not afraid to make mistakes. • Mistakes help me to learn and improve my English. • I always try my best.

  5. Previously in the course • The Word • Truth-functionality of words • The definition of the word is the criteria for the thought you wish to express. • Appropriate words • Not “really, really big” but “enormous” • Not “sounds kinda true but not” but “specious” • Write what you mean, so you mean what you write.

  6. Paragraph Structure • Topic sentence • The main idea of the paragraph. • Supporting sentences • Sentences that develop the idea of the paragraph • Concluding sentences/transitional sentences • Not necessarily used

  7. Topic Sentences • Topic sentences have two parts: • The topic • A controlling idea • Topic sentences are complete sentences. • Topic sentences should be general but not too general.

  8. Good Topic Sentences • Example: Hye-jiowns a coffee shop in Gungdong that is popular with university students. Topic: Hye-ji Controlling idea: owns a coffee shop in Gungdong that is popular with university students.

  9. Bad Topic Sentences • Hye-ji’s coffee shop. • Sentence is incomplete • Hye-ji owns a coffee shop • Too general • Hye-ji owns a coffee shop in Gungdong frequented by university students who spend an average of \12,500 per visit. • Too specific

  10. Supporting sentences • Supporting sentences develop the idea of the topic sentence by either explaining or proving the controlling idea. • This is usually performed by using statistics, examples , or quotations.

  11. Good supporting sentences • The average check of a student in a coffee shop in Gungdong is \3,500 but the average check of a university student in Hye-ji’s coffee shop is \12,500. • Hye-ji’s coffee shop is frequently busy when other coffee shops in proximity are empty. • “My friends and I love Hye-ji’s coffee shop.” said Eunjoo “The coffee is freshly roasted and the free wi-fi makes it a good place to study and relax.”

  12. Poor Supporting Sentences • Hye-ji is a single mother and small business owner. • Hye-ji’s coffee shop puts up their Christmas decorations in October. • Hye-ji used to own bar but went into a drug rehabilitation program so now she owns a coffee shop. • Gungdong is not adjacent to KAIST.

  13. Hye-ji owns a coffee shop in Gungdong that is popular with university students. Hye-ji’s coffee shop is frequently busy when other coffee shops in proximity are empty. The average check of a student in a coffee shop in Gungdong is \3,500 but the average check of a university student in Hye-ji’s coffee shop is \12,500. “My friends and I love Hye-ji’s coffee shop.” said Eunjoo “The coffee is freshly roasted and the free wi-fi makes it a good place to study and relax.” With great coffee, wi-fi, and Chungnam University and KAIST nearby, it’s easy too see why Hye-ji’s coffee shop is popular.

  14. Concluding sentences • Concluding sentences show the end of the paragraph has been reached. • Concluding sentences summarize the points of the paragraph or restate/reinforce the topic sentence.

  15. Transitional Sentences • Transitional sentences introduce the idea of the next paragraph.
