TASK 2

• GRAMMAR : SEARCH FOR NOTES AND SAMPLES OF SENTENCES STRUCTURE

SIMPLE SENTENCE	A simple sentence contains one subject and verb relationship. It expresses one main idea. The line is busy now. Parts of the simple sentence, however, may be compound: Mr. Hillier and Mr. Williams teach science at S.S.J.H. (compound subject) Mr. Hillier teaches science and coaches wrestling. (compound verb)
COMPOUND SENTENCE	A compound sentence is made up of two simple sentences that express related ideas. These sentences are connected by a semicolon or by a comma and a compound connector (or coordinating conjunction). A semicolon that connects two simple sentences may be followed by a transitional word. A sentence is compound if it can be divided into two whole sentences. The line is busy now, but I will try again later. The addition to our house is finished; the workmen were paid today. The line is busy now; however, I will try again later.
COMPLEX SENTENCE	A complex sentence contains one independent clause and one or more dependent clauses. A complex sentence expresses one main idea and one or more dependent ideas. A dependent clause is always introduced by a complex connector (also known as a subordinating conjunction). Although the line is busy now, I will try again later. The line is busy because Julie talks to Lisa for three hours everyday. The student who shows the most school spirit will be awarded an “S”.
COMPUND-COMPLEX	A compound-complex sentence contains two independent clauses and one or more dependant clauses. A compound-complex sentence expresses two ideas as well as one or more dependent ideas. A compound-complex sentence contains one compound connector and one or more complex connectors. The line is busy, but I will try again as soon as I finish my homework. The boy who lives next door asked me to go to Lagoon with him; however, I already had plans to go camping with my family.

TASK 1

• GRAMMAR : SEARCH FOR NOTES AND SAMPLES OF LISTINGS, BUBBLING & BRAINSTORMING

LISTING	Listing consists of simply making a list of any ideas, in the order in which those ideas occur, that surface about the subject. Write as fast as you can, and organize those ideas after you have exhausted the subject. Way to organize when pre-write Like creating list for every task Help to generate topic Help to create main points and key details Don’t be too concerned about detail and development Simply jot down the thoughts Separate the thoughts with line breaks Feel free to number the list or double space between items to allow more room to develop the list
BUBBLING	Bubbling, like free writing above, is a great technique when you have not yet developed a clear idea of where you are going with your topic. This is also a great technique for people who are visual learners. Here's how it works: Pick a word or phrase related to the topic. For example, let's look at how the topic of obesity in children could be explored in bubbling. You might start with that phrase: obesity in children. Draw a circle and put that phrase in it: Now think about some things relating to this. For example, you might want to look into the causes of childhood obesity and the effect it has on health. Add circles radiating from your main circle.
BRAINSTORMING	Prewriting technique of focusing on a particular subject or topic and freely jotting down any and all ideas which come to your mind without limiting or censoring information – if it comes to mind, write it down. Ideas may be single words, phrases, ideas, details, examples, descriptions, feelings, people, situations, etc. Do not write ideas in complete sentences. Topic is written and free associations are listed underneath. Examples: Computers, Shoes, Foods, Bill Gates, Games, Internet

• BLOG : WHAT IS LOVE TO YOU ?

It is one of the most difficult questions for the mankind . For me , I think that there is no definition of love. We don't know what it is. We can only feel it and comprehend it in our own way. I guess, when you say you love someone you would be willing to die for that person. That's how big love can get. It's doing the unthinkable for another because you feel the unstoppable force. Love is sacrificing yourself for nothing in return; simply because you love. If someone was able to explain why they love another person, I would say that's not love at all. I truly believe that you cannot explain love. You can only state what you think it is. Who knows for sure, though ? Maybe, God. If you believe in Him.
