UFS 211- Unit 5: writing a paragraph 1

Water pollution is increasingly becoming a large problem that we as humans need to confront. Water is our most valuable resource. Just think of how much we humans are dependent upon clean water. Water is way more valuable than gold. Besides the fact that we drink the water, we use it for irrigation of farm fields, cooking, washing clothes, flushing toilets, and every industrial process requires water to function. Other that this life every person pollution our water everyday, for example people throw are garbage and refuse of all sorts. Beside garbage, oil is one of the world's biggest pollutants, oil is usually spilled or leaked from land or rivers and flows from them to the sea or ocean.  In some extreme cases, rivers, lakes, and wells have been known to ignite. oil can cause some algae may die causing the marine life to starve and move to other streams or lakes there have been many lakes that are now classified as dead lakes. Worst pollution in this world is water pollution it are the forms of pollution.

UFS 211-Unit 4: Introduction of a paragraph

For my opinion writing process must have a topic to do your essay. Must have topic, topic sentence, supporting sentences about three or four supporting sentences to support your topic, and concluding sentence do or follow from the topic sentences.


Topic is the first steps that you should do to make a paragraph or essay, find a good topic that will do easily. For examples "The Food That I Like".


Topic sentences is the second  steps, and this steps  will lets we know what the paragraph contains. You will decide on your reaction to the text and categorizing ideas of topic sentences and make a comment on a recurring theme of any kind what to writ in the paragraph. For examples "The food that I like is Chines food".


The third steps is supporting sentence, you need to support your topic sentences by developing the paragraphs with evidence from credible sources. support comes in many different forms: definitions, personal experience, and interviews. For example personal experience: "The Chines food that I like is met ball; I like met ball because it's smell good, look delicious, and test so good.


Concluding sentences, this means it all comes together. All the paragraphs relate to the one before it and all the sentences relate to the one before it. Transitional words and phrases help to create bridges between sentences, words such as: however, a paragraph within the thesis statement and the topic sentences.

UFS 211-Unit 2: Sentence Structure

A sentence may be one of four kinds, depending upon the number and type(s) of clauses it contains.


        Review:
        An independent clause contains a subject, a verb, and a complete thought.

       Example: I wrote my first novels lust year


        A dependent clause contains a subject and a verb, but no complete thought.


       Example: After I wrote my first novel lust year




1. A simple sentence has one independent clause.


    Example: Tom reads novels.
                       Tom reads newspapers.
                       Tom reads novels and newspapers. (compound direct object)
                       Tom reads and enjoys novels. (compound verb)
                       Tom and Harry read novels. (compound subject)
                       Tom and Harry read and enjoys novels and newspapers. (compound subject,
                       verb, direct object)


Punctuation note:  NO commas separate two compound elements (subject, verb, direct object, indirect object, subjective complement, etc.) in a simple sentence.




2. A compound sentence has two independent clauses joined by
        A. a coordinating conjunction (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so),
        B. a conjunctive adverb (e.g. however, therefore), or
        C. a semicolon alone.


        Example: ( to make A, B and C above)
                          A. Tom reads novels, but Jack reads comics.
                          B.Tom reads novels; however Jack reads comics.
                          C. Tom reads novels; his friend reads comics.


    Punctuation patterns (to match A, B, and C above):
        A. Independent clause, coordinating conjunction independent clause.
        B. Independent clause; conjunctive adverb, independent clause.
        C. Independent clause; independent clause.
            
            
3. A complex sentence has one dependent clause (headed by a subordinating conjunction or a relative pronoun) joined to an independent clause.


Example: A. Although Tom reads novels, jack reads comics.
                   B. Jack reads comics although Tom reads novels.
                   C. Jack Smith, who reads comics, rarely reads novels.
                   D. People who reads comics rarely read novels.

    Punctuation patterns (to match A, B, C and D above):
        A.  Dependent clause, independent clause
        B.  Independent clause dependent clause
        C.  Independent, nonessential dependent clause, clause.
D.  Independent essential dependent clause clause.


                            
4. A compound-complex sentence has two independent clauses joined to one or more dependent clauses.

Example: While Tom reads novels (dependent clause), but Sam reads only

                   newspapers (independent clause).

                   Jack, who reads comics, rarely reads novels (dependent clause,

                   independent clause); however, tom enjoy novels (independent clause)

Punctuation patterns:

Follow the rules given above for compound and complex sentences.

A compound-complex sentence is merely a combination of the two. Example: While Tom reads novels (dependent clause), but Sam reads only                    newspapers (independent clause).                    Jack, who reads comics, rarely reads novels (dependent clause,                    independent clause); however, tom enjoy novels (independent clause)

CONNECTORS-COMPOUND AND COMPLEX SENTENCES
Two independent clauses may be joined by
    1.  coordinating conjunctions  (FANBOYS) Ic, and ic
    2.  conjunctive adverbs Ic; therefore, ic.
      
A dependent (subordinate) clause may be introduced by
    1. subordinating conjunctions (ADVERB CLAUSE)     Dc, ic. Or Ic dc.
    2. Relative pronouns (ADJECTIVE CLAUSE) I, dc, c. or I dc c.
   3.  Relative pronoun, subordinating conjunctions, or adverbs (NOUN CLAUSE)
