  Undergrowth with Two Figures         
 If you could ask Vincent van Gogh what he accomplished in his lifetime he would probably say not much.  But we know now that van Gogh gave the world a gift.  He is now one of the most recognized painters of all time for his exquisite masterpieces that went somewhat unrecognized in his time.  They are now and will forever be considered fine works of art. 
 According to Encyclopedia Britannica Online, Vincent van Gogh painted over 800 paintings and sketched over 700 drawings in his troubled life ( par. 18) .

 Sorry, but this is no better than before.  
  
 No educated English speaker would write a letter like this with just one paragraph. And no university would bother to read it. They&amp;#39;d just throw it in the garbage. Do you care about this reality? 
  
 You begin  by talking about your past history. They don&amp;#39;t care about that. They don&amp;#39;t care about what you did in high school. 
   
 You need to start by saying &amp;#39;I want to be accepted into this program for these reasons.&amp;#39; Then give your reasons.

 Structure it like an esaay. 
  
 Paragraph 1 
 introduction 
 say what degree you are applying for 
  
 Paragraph 2 
 Say why you want to do that degree in that field 
  
 Paragraph 3 
 Say why you want to study at that university, instead of others in the USA. 
  
 Paragraph 4 
 conclusion 
 Restate briefly why they should accept you

 I&amp;#39;d like to ask you about the passage below: 
  
  As Marina Warner writes, “In this battle between the flesh and the spirit, the  
  female sex was firmly placed on the side of the flesh.”   Since menstruation, breastfeeding  
  and even pregnancy disgusted the disembodied male ego, women  
  disgusted them too. As Warner also comments:  
    
  In the faeces and urine – in St. Augustine’s phrase – of  
  childbirth, the closeness of women to all that is vile, lowly,  
   corruptible, and material was epitomised – in the “curse” of   
   menstruation, she lay closer to the beast;  the lure of her beauty   
  was nothing but an aspect of the death brought about by her  
  seduction of Adam in the garden.

An essay question, if general enough, usually leaves room for much expansion. You start off with an introduction, body then conclusion, and it&amp;#39;s in the &amp;quot;body&amp;quot; of the essay where you expand the main idea. You expand on the idea by writing related ideas in one paragraph each and putting details in it.

 There seems to be a lot of confusion about conjuncts and other adverbials.  
   
 Adverbials function in a clause in four different ways: as  adjuncts ,  subjuncts ,  disjuncts  and  conjuncts . Each class has a different range of meanings and follows different rules. 
   
 Regarding conjuncts, the terms conjunct, conjunctive adverb and transitional adverb all mean the same thing (except that the latter is  not  standard terminology). Their function is to relate (or &amp;#39;conjoin&amp;#39;) independent grammatical units, such as clauses, sentences and paragraphs. They express a very different range of meanings from that found in other adverbials: we can group conjuncts into seven main types, based on the kind of meaning they...</description></item><item><title>Re: Narrative Paragragh</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/NarrativeParagragh/ljghh/post.htm#964891</link><pubDate>Sun, 08 Nov 2009 05:52:29 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:964891</guid><dc:creator>avangi</dc:creator><description>It tells a story.

 In my opinion, it&amp;#39;s ok to use more than one tense in your paragraph.It all depends on what really you want to emphasize. 
  
 Here, you use the present tense in I am good at explaining maths. 
     Present tense often refers to the fact and the truth ( your ability), and the fact last forever ,it (your ability to explain)won&amp;#39;t change with time. 
  
 If you use past tense --&amp;gt; I was good at explaining maths. Past tense usually refers to the past instead of now and continuous condition. If you use past tense here, it means that you was good at... before, but now you are not good at and you lose this kind of ability to explain well in maths.</description></item><item><title>More than 1 tense in the same paragraph</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/MoreTenseSameParagraph/lwbnv/post.htm</link><pubDate>Sun, 01 Nov 2009 02:56:48 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:958549</guid><dc:creator>uktous</dc:creator><description>hi, In the following paragraph, there are more than 1 tense.
