Where I was... Where I am...

When I first came to ESL 4, I was really nervous for been in my first English class. I thought it would be worse but it wasn't. I always had problem with grammar,but during this semester I became a little more confident while writing essays, doing presentations and how to make a powerful power point. In this entire semester I have learned about my weaknesses in grammar; but using town send press website helped to be a little more practical, also how to make a power point as a collegiate level. Another important thing that we learned was how to make a understandable summary, and this make me glad that I came so far to be a business manager.Right now I am in a point of my life that I say thanks for the chances and opportunities that this class has gave me.

Creating Effective Presentations

Lets said, if you are told to make a power point for a class, this info would help you to become a good visual and expository speaker. Here is a list of how to make a VERY good power point presentation.

1. The first thing you never should do is, write down all information and then say it again, while the audience can read it fast than you are explain it.
2. Second, we can say that a power point it is based on picture and some words. If not people easily get bored.
3. if you can, always can put in your presentation the ''SO WHAT should we care'' by you saying this subject.
4. Also, know your content. Actually the writing that you might put in the presentation is what is important, to know this info.

The Writing Process

At my ESL class, we are learning how to create an Expository Essay. We were told to do this different steps:

• First pick ours topics,
• second, brainstorm,
• third, organized ours ideas,
• then look for more information in the web,
• and finally explained to the instructor if the website is it helpful and trustful or not.

The parts of a writing process are:

• Invention
• Collection
• Organization
• Drafting
• Revising
• and Proofreading (it is for grammar)

"Expository Essay".

An expository essay are usually written by critical thinking and researchers and it frequently used at college. There are 4 differents characteristics such as:

• Thesis: when you start writing an expository essay you should put a little paragraph about what the topic will be before the INTRODUCTION.

• Facts: it has to be in information that can be prove or realistic of the topic.

• Neutral: the essay should not focus in only one side, it needs to be in an central form (Let said your talking about party A B, you do not focus about only A rahter than B has to be equal).

• Third person: an expository essay do not need to be written rather the me or I.

An expository essay also has 4 ways to develop it:

• Topic: this is the What the text you will writte it's about.

• Time Order: It is of how chonologically are the topic its going to be. (first, second... few years ago, now...).

• Space Order: Giving the main information at the middle of the context.

• Informative Process: It is like "how to" of an essay or demonstration.

''What is a Summary?"

It is to re-state or paraphrase a text or an article including VIPs MVP but does not include your opinion.

Steps:
*First you need to read the passage.

*Decide what you think it is important to write it down.

*paraphrase in 1 or 2 sentences.

*Write the first draft.

*Then, look over both of them(between your summary and the original one)
for whatever adjustment.

*Finally revise your summary.


Hints:
