Blog 10 : Cause and Effect

       On Sunday 6 March  I studied unit six "Cause and Effect".
Cause and Effect is used to show how the facts or concepts result. Words that signal this type of text structure are because, since, therefore, if...then, as a result of, thus, and hence. It may be used to represent the relationship between the causes and effects.

I wrote cause and effect about global warming. The cause of global warming were Carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel burning power plants, we were increasing the used of fossil fuels for transportation , the increased in the amount of concentrated livestock production, deforestation, especially tropical forests for wood, pulp, and farmland ,and then  we were increasing the use of chemical fertilizers.

 The effect of global warming were  an increase in sea levels worldwide , the severity of storms such as hurricanes and cyclones was increasing , it would  be the spread of desertification , massived crop failures, the extinction of more than a million species, disappearance of coral reefs.
it was a severe danger for ocean ecosystems.

      Next , I studied cause and effect about people get sick. 
I wrote cause and effect about the problem  in class. The cause of problem were some irresponsible students make messes with their gum and it was a distraction. The effect 
of problem was student were not allowed chew gum in my 
class. I studied  cause and effect markers. It included 

 1. Because / Because of
The difference between these two words is that because is followed by a subject + verb, and because of is followed by a noun:
- The game was canceled because of the rain.
- The game was canceled because it was raining.
In spoken English, many people say ’cause as a short form of “because.”

2. Due to / Owing to
Due to and owing to are also followed by a noun. These words are a little more formal.
- There’s a lot of traffic today due to the upcoming holiday.
(holiday = noun)
- The after-school program was canceled owing to lack of interest from the students.

(lack = noun)

3. Due to the fact that / Owing to the fact that
Use these phrases before a subject + verb. Again, these phrases are a little more formal.
- Many people are still unemployed due to the fact that the economic recovery has been slower than anticipated.

- The publisher rejected the author’s latest work owing to the fact that the manuscript was full of errors.

4. Since / As
Since and as are more informal, and they are followed by a subject + verb.
I’m going to bed at 10 PM since I need to get up early tomorrow morning.
I didn’t go to the gym today, as I had a lot of homework to do.

5.Therefore / Consequently / As a result

These words are more formal, and are more commonly used in written English.
- Our company’s profits have increased 150% in the past year. Therefore, we’re going to invest in new equipment and training programs.
- The tennis player had knee surgery mid-October; consequently, she took the rest of the season off.

- There have been heavy rains throughout the interior of the state. As a result, several areas have experienced flooding.


6. So
“So” is more informal, and more commonly used in spoken English.

- We were hungry, so we stopped at a cafe for a snack.

Finally , I thought wrote the cause and effect about global warming was very easy. But I  thought studied about  cause and effect markers was difficult. The best way to got into reading was simply to read freely and practiced  from the News or novels. This practice helped me develop a feel for writing. My attitudes towards the lesson was not  easy.

ฺBlog 9 (continuous) : Comparison and Contrast

On Monday 29 February   I studied unit five "Comparison and Contrast". 
I studied the text of "You Just Don't Understand"book was
written by Deborah Tannen about  human language forms 
of men and woman. The important differences between the languages of men and women. 

              Next I studied about main idea of the text and replied the question.The main idea of Paragraph 2 was that men and women had difficulties in communication because they were raised differently.The main point of Paragraph 3 was that men experience life as a competition with others.The words  "network and web" of Paragraph 4 was that women looked for relationships with others more than men do.

In Paragraph 5  the purpose of the story of the women in the hospital was to show the communication problems between men and women.The main idea of Paragraph 8 in my words
was man and women used different language to handle conflict.The phrase in a cooperative way  of paragraph 9 was
that women were comfortable doing things with others.
In my opinion ,I thought  Deborah Tannen wrote this book
to help both men and women to communicate better.

             After that I read the important differences between the languages of men and women. I thought so with Tannen's points about the different personalities of men and women true in my native culture because  men usually used language to show independence status power ,and talked to show skills and knowledge while women usually used language to establish connection and intimacy, and talked less what they
known.
                 I thought that men and women in my native culture used the language the way Tannen claims American men and women. For specific examples  women will often talked with 
man that  "Where did you go?" , "What did you do?" , "What
do you like?" or " Why you don't talk with me?"  and so men
often misinterpret women's words as efforts to "boss them 
around".

   
             finally, I thought studied the text of "You Just Don't Understand"book was very easy. But I  thought studied about the following markers to point out comparison and contrast was difficult. The best way to got into reading was simply to read freely and practiced  from the News or novels. This practice helped me develop a feel for writing. My attitudes towards the lesson was not  easy.

The general subject was  subway systems of New York/Paris.
The similarities between the two were often crowed, the terrible noise level in the train and cover a wide are at little
expense from commuters. The differences between the two 
subway systems were New York included subway station ranged from plain to ugly, less clean and  less reliable while
Paris included subway station were generally attractive ,clean
and trains were reliable.

            finally, I studied the text about the distinction between Hurricane Andrew and Hurricane Katrina.I thought studied the text about the differences  between New York City and Paris was very easy. But I  thought studied about the following markers to point out comparison and contrast was difficult. The best way to got into reading was simply to read freely and practiced  from the News or novels. This practice helped me develop a feel for writing. My attitudes towards the lesson was not  easy.

Blog 7 : Procedure

On Sunday 28 February   I studied unit four "Procedure"   about purpose , types of procedural texts , text organisation
,and language features.The purpose of procedure was to tell
the reader how to do or make something. The texts were 
usually written  in the present tense.

Next I studied about types of procedural texts. It included
texts  explain how to use instruction , text instruct how to
do a particular activity, text deal with human behaviour.
I studied about text organisation. The focus of  instructional texts was on a sequence of actions. It included goal(the main heading) , materials(listed in order of use) method (steps).
This  was Blueberry Monte Cristo recipe.

After that I studied about language features. It included 
goal(clearly stated), materials, method,recipes (ingredient / method), games instructions (how to play/rules of the game/ method of scoring / the number of players), 
scientific experiments (the purpose/equipment/procedure/ 
observations/conclusion), the reader(pronouns: you/one),
action verbs , simple present tense , linking words to do with
time (connect the text).

Finally, I studied about how to make a banana shake, recipe for banana cake,how to make the omelette, recipe for chicken soup , and then user instructions. I thought  types of procedural texts was very easy. But I  thought language features was  difficult. The best way to got into reading was simply to read freely and practiced  from the  recipe book and Iron Chef. This practice helped me develop a feel for writing. My attitudes towards the lesson was
not easy.
