Hello readers ! We meet again :) This is the first class for the week ! Compare and contrast. That is what we learnt for todayyy. For me, compare and contrast is familiar for me, as compare and contrast is the type of essay that Farzana and I going to write for our term paper :) Basically, we know the basics, on how to write and the pattern of the essay .
The above diagram or also known as the Venn Diagram is the example of diagram that is needed when we are writing the compare and contrast essay. It will make our work easier to write the essay as we have the idea on what to write.
Next, we need to choose to equal item. As the example above, both are fruits. We cannot compare and contrast between two different things for example, fruits with animal clearly, we cannot compare and contrast between that two because both do not have similarities.
We are divided into a few groups, and are given a task to write an essay based on a videoclip about tadaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

The two stars from the famous television series, Desperate Housewives! Bree Van De Kamp and Lynnette .
We need to compare and contrast between the two actress that act a different character but yet, still have the similarities in both character.
By the way, while I'm writing the blog, I found out one website that I think is good as reference to write about the compare and contrast. Nahh, here you have it :)

The first ever FORUM that was held. As usual, we are divided again into a few groups. We need to act like we are in the talk show. So I have created a name for the show which is The Inspiration Talk Show :) and I am very lucky to have a very special guest with me in the studio which we are having Hashimah as the consumer, Proffesor Farhana Binti Ahmad Januri as lecutrer from the University Malaya and last but not least is, Dato' Dr. Siti Syamimi Binti Rashid as the board of director of Alam Sekitar Associations. We are very blessed to have a topic How To Reduce The Uses Of Plastic Bag In Shopping Complex. Me, myself as the host of the Inspiration Talk Show :)

From my point of view, my group did a great job even though we are not prepare very well, but at least, we enjoy while the talk show is take place. At first, I am not really happy, because we are the first group, but after finished it, I feel Aaaaahhhh, released. hihi and can watch others enjoyably :D

The last class of the week ! Whooorayyyy :D We learnt on how to find main ideas in passage . Finding the main ideas in passage is going to come out in final examination. Even though we are focusing on the term paper, yet we cannot forget the final examination. Final examination carry lots of marks as compared to the term paper.
We must know the thought that is present from the beginning to the end. It means that, we must know what is actually the writer wants to convey their readers. If the readers get wrong idea of what the wanted trying to say, it means that the writer do not understand what is the essay is all about.
Besides that, in an essay, there are also implied main idea. Which implied main idea is the main idea that have been hidden. So readers need to read the essay carefully and repeatedly in order to understand the essay.
Below are how to find the main ideas in the essay :
- Identify the subject/topic
- What is the essay is all about
- read the complete sentence .
Till we meet again in the next post :)
