Cause and effect

As a result, consequently, and therefore are all used to connect two ideas.They all have a similar meaning. They show that the second sentence was the effect, or result, of the first one. They can be used at the beginning of the second sentence or they can join the two sentences with the word and before them.

Use whereas and however to make comparisons

However and whereas can be used to connect two different or opposite ideas. my friends prefer watching movies / I find books more interesting. My friends prefer watching movies. However , I find books more interesting. My friends prefer watching movies, whereas I find books more interesting. Whereas my friends prefer watching movies, I find books more interesting. You can join two sentences with whereas. Use whereas at the beginning of a sentence or in the middle, after a comma. Use however at the beginning of a sentence

Using time expressions(After, before, or when)

After shows the first event: I played soccer after school.(school happened first, not soccer) After school, I played soccer a Before shows the second event: I couldn't play the guitar before I took lessons. (Lessons happened first) Before I took lessons, I couldn't play the guitar. (Lessons happened first) When shows that the first event happened just before the second event: I told him the news when he called. (he called first; then I told him the news) When he called, I told him the news.

Giving explanations

Cause and effect/result So and because can be used to join two sentences together: It was raining. I took an umbrella. => It was raining, so I took an umbrella. => I took an umbrella because it was raining. So and because have a similar function. So tells us the result or effect of a situation: I took an umbrella Because tells us why something happens(the cause): Why ? Becuase it was raining. So and because are often very close in meaning, and you can choose either -but you must use so with the result/effect and because with the cause A comma comes before so. There is no comma before because.

Process of Academic Writing

Good writers follow three steps to improve their writing. They ... Check their work Show their work to someone else Make any necessary additions and changes. These steps can be repeated several times. Peer reviewing Exchanging papers with a classmate, reading each other's paper, and making comments are called peer review. When you read a classmate's paper, you can ... practice finding topic sentences, supporting sentences, and concluding sentences. notice special vocabulary or grammar see different ways to do the same assignment. help the writer by saying what ideas you liked best. ask questions to help the writer think of more ideas. ask a question if you don't understand something - and maybe the writer will think of a better way to explain. Many writers - even very good writers - feel nervous or shy about sharing their writing. When you write comments about someone's writing, be kind, useful, and truthful. Remember always to say what you

Brainstorming

Good writers, they think of and write down ideas that they can use. Brainstorming Method 1: LIST How to make a list Use a separate, whole sheet of paper Write your topic at the top Write down as many ideas as you can about your topic Write single words or short phrases, but don't write long sentences Write down every idea that comes to you, and don't worry about whether the ideas are good or bad Brainstorming Method 2: Word Maps Use a separate, whole sheet of paper Write your topic in the middle, and draw a circle around at. Write an idea about topic nearby, and circle it,. Draw a line to connect the circles. This shows that the idea and the topic are related. Add more ideas and circle the ideas. Draw lines to connect any circles with related ideas. Write down as many ideas as you can. Don't worry about whether the ideas are good or bad. After you finish, cross out any ideas you don't want to use. Brainstorming Method 2: Freewriting Wr

And & But

Using and & but to join sentences Sentences about the same topic can often be combined with words like "and" and "but". (For example, I send my mother a birthday card. I called her.  => I send my mother a birthday card and called her.) Don't begin sentences with And or But in academic writing, Use In addition or However instead. Punctuation When you join two complete sentences with but, you must always use a comma before but: (I didn't want to send her a present, but I send her one anyway.) When you join two complete sentences with and and the subjects of the sentences are both written, use a comma before and: (Shopping at the mall is expensive, and parking is hard to find.) When you join two complete sentences and remove the subject of the second sentence, don't use a comma before and: (These days people send paper and electronic cards. These days people send paper cards and email electronic cards.)

Параграф гэж юу бэ?

Параграф бол тодорхой нэг сэдвийн тухай ойролцоогоор 6-12 өгүүлбэрт багтааж бичсэн бичвэр. Сайн параграф дахь өгүүлбэр бүр тухайн сэдвийнхээ/зүйлийнхээ тухай бичигдсэн байдаг. Бүх өгүүлбэрүүд сэдвийн тухай зохиогчийн гол санааг тайлбарласан байна. Хэрвээ зохиолч шинэ санааны талаар ярихаар болбол шинээр параграф эхлэнэ гэсэн үг. Параграф нь мэдээ мэдээлэл өгөх, санаагаа хэлэх, зарим зүйлсийг тайлбарлах, бас богино өгүүлэмж хэлж чадна. Өгүүлбэрүүд логик уялдаа холбоотойгоор бичигдэнэ. Ингэснээр уншигч илүү амархан бичигчийн юу хэлэх гээд байгааг ойлгох боломжтой болдог. Академик бичвэрт, нэг параграф нь нэг гол өгүүлбэр (topic sentence) -тэй байдаг ба энэ өгүүлбэрээр дамжуулан уншигчидад гол санаагаа шууд хэлдэг. Тухайн параграф дахь бусад өгүүлбэрүүд нь сэдвийн талаар илүү нэмэлт мэдээлэл өгдөг ба тэдгээрийг туслах өгүүлбэрүүд (supporting sentences) гэнэ. Тэд нарийн зүйлс болон дэлгэрэнгүй тайлбаруудыг нэмдэг.  Академик Англи хэлэнд, гол өгүүлбэр нь голдуу параграфын эхэнд

Хэл чухал

Эрдэм шинжилгээний ажил хийе гэсэн оюутан хүн, дэлхий дахины соёлын шимээс хүртье хэмээсэн хэн хүн, харь хэл мэдэхгүй аваас хүсэвч гүүгүй айрагчин, зүүгүй оёдолчин болно. Ганц үнээ тугаллуулсан айл сүүтэй цай уугаад л байдаг шүү дээ. Уйгагүй хүн уул нүхэлмой. гэж эрдэмтэн гүүш Бямбын Ренчин гуай нэгэнтэй хэлжээ. Миний бодол ч мөн адил. Судалгааны ажил бичихэд үнэхээр тусалдаг хэд хэдэн гол зүйлс байна. Эдгээргүйгээр судалгаа хийнэ гэдэг бол нээрээ үлгэрийн далай байх аа. Гүүглэ, Энглиш хоёргүйгээр хол явахгүй. Дээр нь хичээл зүтгэлийг нэмээд гол нь суугаад сурчихвал гараас юм гарна шүү. Аа тийм, судлаач хүн ганцаараа хичнээн хичээгэээд бас амжилтанд хүрэхэд хэцүү юм байна гэдгийг ойрдоо мэдрээд байгаа шүү. Багийн тоглолт сайн хийгээд сурчихвал зүгээр юм аа. Жишээлбэл, судалгааны чиглэл ойролцоо хүмүүстэй хамтраад ажилаа хувиарлаад хийвэл хурдан урагшилах юм байна лээ. Мөн докторын төгсөлтийн шаардлагад хамтарсан өгүүллэгийн тоог (coathuor publication) чухалчилсан болохоор яалт ч
