Re: As with all choices there will always be a downside, most importantly in this case is the cost factor.

Clive — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 04:26:24 GMT

Hi,

As with all choices there will always be a downside, most importantly in this case is the cost factor.

This is a sentence from a sample essay written by an English teacher.

What does 'most importantly' modify?

Or should it be 'the most important one 'instead of 'most importantly'?

I wouldn't write it as in the original, but in one of these ways.
As with all choices there will always be a downside, most importantly in this case is the cost factor.
As with all choices there will always be a downside. The most important (one) in this case is the cost factor.

If I wanted to be more precise, I'd prefer to speak of 'downsides', because if one downside is most important, it suggests there are other downsides as well. ie As with all choices there will always be downsides, . . .

Best wishes, Clive

Why Women Should Not Have an Abortion

FirstStrike — Sat, 01 Mar 2008 14:12:03 GMT

I found this sample essay in the Internet. Could anyone please give comments on this essay? Thanks in advance.

Many women in the entire world have abortions. Women believe there are many reasons to abort such as fear of having or raising a child, rape, or not having enough money. But whatever the situation, there is never an acceptable reason to get an abortion. Some important reasons why women should not abort have to do with human values, religious values, and values of conscience.
The first reason why women should not have an abortion is related to basic human values. Women need to think about their unborn babies who are not responsible for this situation. These unborn babies should have the privilege to live and grow into a normal person. Women need to be more humanitarian and less egoistic with these babies. On the other hand, the baby doesnât know how or why he is here. It is not necessary to kill a life; there are many other solutions to resolve this problem short of abortion.
The second reason why women should not abort has to do with religious values. In almost all religions, a woman is not permitted to have an abortion. If they do, their religions will punish them. In some religions, for example, a woman cannot take communion after having an abortion, and before taking communion again, she must do many things as a form of penitence. In whatever religion, abortion is punished and for this reason, women should not abort.
Finally, the third and most important reason why women should not
abort is the related to her conscience. When a woman has an abortion, she will always think about the baby she might have had. She will always believe about the future that could have happened with her baby which will always remind her that she killed it. Because she has had an abortion, she will never have a good life, and her conscience will remind her of what she had done. Because a woman who has an abortion canât forget about what she has done, these thoughts will always be with her, and the results can be calamitous.
There are many reasons why women should not have an abortion. The truth is that women need to think about the consequences that can occur before having sexual relations. I think that the effects of an abortion can be very sad for everyone involved, both for the woman who has the abortion and for the family who lives with her.

Hi Dora,

the best way to produce a text is to learn from the pros. What you need are good samples and not only on the Internet. Seek books and further papers.

Your text is way to long and I had some diffuculties to find any structure in it. After a while I got so frustrated that I had to gave up. Are you writing an essay or a letter? As for a letter it is so long that nobody whould try to read it. During my work in an Agency I avoided to read any letter longer then three pages and this is reality. Most of the people who are responsible for applications expect one or two pages. Even two are too much.

If you wish, you could send me a mail and I will send you a sample of my applications although not for an academic carreer but still.

Best wishes,

Kathrin

Formal Writing

Devil_god2101 — Wed, 12 Sep 2007 07:21:45 GMT

Hi all,

I am a student from New Zealand studying Measure for Measure by Shakesphere and we have to write a formal essay going beyond the text.

Here is the question

Context/setting:

This activity may be used as an extension to the study of a text. Students will develop an essay exploring an issue both within and beyond the text. The ideas in the essay can be developed in a variety of ways. The issue could be explored predominantly outside the text using the text as a springboard, or with a greater focus on the issue as seen within the text.

You will produce an essay of at least 500 words which explores an issue.

You will be assessed on:

Â· how well you develop your ideas about the issue within and beyond the text

Â· your ability to use a writing style that is appropriate for an essay

Â· how well you structure your writing with a introduction, body and conclusion

Â· your accuracy in spelling, punctuation and grammar.

Introduction

Texts sometimes challenge us to think more widely about the impact issues have on us or the world we live in. Students examining a range of texts linked by a âwar storiesâ theme might be challenged to go beyond the texts studied in class and explore what forces define who New Zealanders are today, given that world wars have helped define our national identity in the past.

You will take an issue raised in one or more texts you have studied in class and explore the issue beyond the text in an essay. As you develop your writing about an issue, you will guided through the process by a sample based on a âwar storiesâ theme. Your essay will be at least 500 words long. Your readers are your teacher and other students.

Task 1 Focusing on the issues in the text

a) As a class, list on the board several possible issues raised in one or more texts studied. Express the issues as questions. Which of these issues hold some relevance for you and can be explored in a modern day setting? To help you with this stage, a sample based on the âwar storiesâ theme is included.

Task 2 Taking an issue beyond the text

Choose an issue from task 1 which has relevance for you. Plan three main points you could make about the issue where you discuss the issue beyond the text and make links to the world we live in.

Task 3                       Taking a position - writing an introduction

Task 4                       Developing a structure â taking the issue beyond the text

a)          After your introduction, develop three main points where you write about the issue beyond the text. You can also refer back to the text as you develop your ideas. Each paragraph should have an S/E+C structure:

b)       Other paragraphs follow the same S/E+C structure. Identify the statement then examples and comments in each of these two paragraphs.

c)    Draft paragraphs for the three main points you will make in the body of your essay using the S/E+C structure.

d)   Draft a conclusion which re-emphasises your central opinion of the issue.

e)    Your finished essay will be at least 500 words long. It will:

Â·         develop ideas about your issue both within and beyond the text. The ideas in the essay can be developed in a variety of ways. The issue could be explored predominantly outside the text using the text as a springboard, or with a greater focus on the issue as seen within the text.

Â·         use language appropriate for a readership of students and your teacher

Â·         have an introduction, body and conclusion. Each main point will use an S/E + C structure as shown in Task 4 (a).

Â·         use writing conventions accurately (spelling, punctuation, grammar, syntax, paragraphing).

Exemplar A: Excellence (A+)

What should teenagers learn from the sacrifices of earlier generations?

What matters to some teenagers today? This stereo, those clothes, that car, whereâs the party? What about, âShould I go and fight for my country?â To many teenagers in 1914 going to war was an exciting prospect. It mattered, just like the clothes and the car matter in 2002. Would todayâs young New Zealanders react in the same way if they were suddenly faced the prospect of sacrificing their lives for their country? Not likely. We should learn from the sacrifices of earlier generations. Anzac Day is not a feeble excuse for a public holiday. It is a time for teenagers to acknowledge some important lessons about what really matters.

We lose a sense of who we as a nation if we let popular modern day events obscure Anzac Dayâs significance. Wins in major sports like rugby against other countries are often presented by the media as our defining moments. Many young New Zealanders seem to regard sporting success as all that matters to us as a nation. We need to see past the superficial glamorised way the media presents these victories as great national moments and their sports stars as heroes. Anzac Day is one public occasion in the year when New Zealand recognises its ordinary heroes, those who put their lives on the line for their country. We should also acknowledge those who honour their whakapapa and remember their ancestorsâ deeds in individual ways too. In the documentary The Last of the Anzacs Joe Pere placed soil he collected from Gallipoli where his grandfather fought and died at his motherâs grave to bring his spirit or wairua home. This kind of personal tribute is just as important as public Anzac Day ceremonies in recognising what our ancestors have done for us. It should hold greater significance for us than some media hyped sports result.

The disaster at Gallipoli also should also teach teenagers that knowledge and understanding are more powerful weapons than fighting. At the end of The Last of the Anzacs: 102 year old Anzac veteran Doug Dibley revealed a simple yet powerful insight: âIâve learned something Iâll never forget the rest of my life â how fruitless war is.â We should take notice of a man who had seen the horrors of war nearly 90 years ago. War is no game. The Anzacs had no idea of the brutal horror which lay ahead of them, the nightmare, the great misadventure. As teenagers they had hardly lived a quarter of their lives. Someoneâs child who had finished school and just started work was now charging uphill to certain death into machine gun fire at Chunik Bair. Perhaps if they had received some kind of insight into what war was about then they would have had second thoughts about going. Today we expect instant access to information in a way which was unimaginable in 1914. Imagine a teenager about to go to fight for king and country logging on to www.gallipoli.com, seeing how awful it was and saying no thanks!

There is little difference between teenage attitudes in 1914 and 2002. Young people often seek adventure and excitement. Listening to the stories of Les Leach and Doug Dibley in The Last of the Anzacs I found myself relating to their attitudes. In 1914 many young people saw war as an opportunity to take part in âthe great adventure.â It was revealed that Les Leach lied about his age in order to enlist. He was not alone. Many of those teenagers were scared when they joined up not of the risk to life and limb, but unbelievably that âit would be all over before we got there!â I appreciated how a generation of young men were scarred for life by what they thought would be a âlarkâ. Their values, their perspectives on life were changed for ever. I realised how lucky I am in that it is highly unlikely I will face anything resembling their awful wartime experiences. Some of my generationâs obsessions with superficial material things like cars, clothes and stereos seems trivial when compared to the emotional trauma the Anzacs had to deal with.

The fact that many people of all ages turn out at dawn on April 25 shows that New Zealanders still value Anzac Day and those who fought for their country. It is vital that teenagers appreciate their sacrifices in order to learn what is best for our country in the future. Lest we forget the saying âthose who ignore history are doomed to repeat it.â

Exemplar B: Merit (A/B+)

Is there any truth in fiction?

Is there any truth in fiction? We known Peter Weirâs film the The Truman Show is purely fictional and the people just characters, but there are alarmingly similar parallels between Trumanâs naivety and that of a nation being watched and monitored without knowledge and consent.

The Truman Show challenges us to consider the authenticity of our own lives, and take a look into our world today. It shows us a vision of a TV-made man, the unwitting star of a life manufactured for perpetual broadcast. Truman lives a life with actors as friends, sets for each âsceneâ of his life, and cameras watching his every move. Contemplating The Truman Show I was left wondering, is this concept really that paranoid or that far from reality? How far is it from our reality here in New Zealand?

Surveillance is everywhere in New Zealand. For example, Christchurch is said to have more surveillance than anywhere else in the Southern Hemisphere. But where are the cameras and what is their purpose? Perhaps as a nation we should be considering whether or not this is really necessary. Should we be so accepting of such an invasion of our privacy? A large department store recently installed cameras in a womenâs lingerie department. The reason for this was that many items of clothing were going missing. While the purpose of surveillance is easy to understand, we must challenge it from another perspective. It is wrong to invade oneâs privacy without their prior knowledge. How can we justify this?

Another point to consider is do the cameras that surround us really provide security and protection? In the Truman Show, Christoph is like an over-protective father figure who can also be likened to God. He created a world for his âsonâ and had total control over that world. In a rather warped sense he âprotectedâ Truman. Truman would be kept away from all danger in his world and no harm could come to him. We trust the surveillance in our country to give us protection much like Truman trusted his world to be reality. We allow ourselves to be watched and monitored in the fake belief that this will keep us safe. But at what expense do we allow this to happen? Do we really want such intrusion into our privacy? There have recently been a number of shows on television that peer into peopleâs lives twenty-four hours a day like Big Brother. The difference between these shows and real life, though, is that these people choose to put themselves in these situations. Perhaps such people are just so desperate for fame, fortune, or simply just a little attention. However, we do have a choice.

We need to weigh up the issues of safety versus our individual right to privacy. It is something we should consider very carefully. In contrast to the intrusion of privacy that took place in Trumanâs life, we, in New Zealand must be vigilant in our demand for privacy.

So far I have the main idea "Abuse of Power"

I don't no what my three points can be i think i can write about technology and corruption, but i don't know how to link technology to Measure for Measure. I want to write something like the A+. The topics are different it has to relate to NZ. I am not asking anyone to write it for me but can anyone guide me. I have 3 days to get this sorted before the actual assessment. I have a few more examples if you guys want to look at, if you want to please let me know.

So please help me prepare this formal essay.

Statememt of Purpose

I am currently employed in a position with tremendous opportunity for advancement in Bangalore at Molecular Connections Pvt. Ltd. I have been recognized and lauded for my knowledge of biochemistry, and I enjoy intellectual interactions with my Ph.D. colleagues; I am trained to think logically and solve problems. Consistently my peers place me in a leadership position, and I have a reputation for performing well beyond what is expected. Still, I feel an empty place in my life. While my friends and colleagues do not understand my decision to leave this rewarding career, I know that I have no choice if I am to pursue my long-term goal and my childhood dream: to teach and to publish research. I think that I have made the right decision, although my friends think I am sacrificing certain career advancement for superfluous training. What they do not understand is that I will derive even greater satisfaction from pursuing a doctoral degree than by earning a higher salary and advancing in my present career. By pursuing a graduate degree, I will have the priceless opportunity to realize my dream.

Initially, I saw my current job as an valuable opportunity to further my learning experience, and indeed, over the past two years, I have acquired a broad knowledge of drug discovery, chemoinformatics and bioinformatics.But perhaps more importantly, my current job has contributed less toward my long-term career objective of teaching, and conducting and publishing research that would contribute to my field of specialization. I am driven more by my dreams than money and the prestige of a commercial career: I also hope to contribute to society by disseminating my knowledge as an academician.

A research career in neurobiology is my life goal. In my opinion, there is no scientific study more vital to man than the study of his own brain. Neuroscientists have learnt a considerable amount about the functioning of the brain, but they admit that it remains one of humanityâs most enduring mysteries. I have clearly envisaged my path in neurobiological research and am convinced that the stakes in this new and fast growing field are critical. I would like to make my contribution to unravelling the mysteries of neurobiology.

Excited by the idea of becoming a scientist since I was a child, my interest in pursuing graduate studies intensified during my undergraduate education and my initial research. Having a thirst for biology, I pursued my degree in Biochemistry at prestigious Vysya College, although I had opted for computer science in secondary school. With a chemistry background, I excelled in my undergraduate studies. My core subject became very interesting under the tutelage of an experienced faculty. I was even allowed to take biochemistry for twelfth grade students in my eleventh year. That opportunity secured me a 1st grade in Human Physiology and Cell Biology.

As a day scholar, I worked as a part-time trainee in their renowned clinical laboratory without salary. There I learnt molecular techniques and research approaches in molecular biology. I have undergone a laboratory course exclusively for electrophoresis techniques at the Electrophoresis Institute. My quest for advancement in biological sciences encouraged me to undertake clinical laboratory work at Gopi Hospitals. "One personâs life influences the lives of an unbelievable number of people," goes the saying, one of the most important lessons I have learnt. This experience taught me to be a responsible person and boosted my confidence. It also taught me that the basis for good work is self-reliance and very importantly, time management. Not all of these three years were free of shortcomings. I learnt [you used this spelling initially, and you should be consistent] to accept both criticism and praise with a positive frame of mind. My work involved organizing various events, which gave me the opportunity to work and interact with various kinds of people. This was a very gratifying experience for me, which I feel will stand me in good stead in the future.

I pursued my postgraduate degree in Biochemistry in order to gain basic eligibility for research. The core subject inspired me to carry the basics of biochemistry to undergraduate students, and I involved myself in self-help initiatives such as paper and poster presentations at various state-level seminars. In partial fulfillment of my postgraduate degree, I worked at the Central Leather Research Institute (CLRI-ADYAR) in the Department of Bioproducts. There, I worked on protein purification and its characterizations, which provided me a clear perspective of research and aided me in acquiring other molecular techniques.

As a prerequisite for attaining a PhD in Neurobiology, I have undergone intense training at the National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro Sciences by attending a course in Laboratory Animal Management. This course gave me practical exposure to isolating the brain and its major components. Drug administration and sample collection techniques with laboratory animals are fundamental parts of this course.

My journey so far, from undergraduate to current occupation, has been carefully planned. I believe that my serious intention to study further, my work experience in laboratories and academic background in various areas of biochemistry, will be very beneficial for my research work in your laboratory.

What is a Good essay ??

Wilson_beh — Mon, 23 Apr 2007 11:38:23 GMT

Hello everyone! I am a Malaysian studying in a Chinese secondary school.

I have few English teachers. Some of them said I must write simple English whereas some said I should include powerful vocabularies, mature sentences in my essay. I am very doubtful and feel distraughted as I have no idea which side should I listen to.

Therefore, I post my questions here with the hope that you can do me a favor.

My questions:-

i) What is a good essay? Is that with powerful vocabularies, mature setences, great ideas, world views, statictis or simple, gramatically correct writing?
ii) Is there any sample of good essay, if yes, please share together.

English is the most important language. I as a student will strive for the best to command English as good as possible.

Thanks for your kind help.

Hello, everyone.

I have no ideas about how to write an essay.

Could someone help me?

I know that we should braimstorm and write the thesis.

But how? Are there any important factors in writing an essay?

Please told me. Thanks.

A sample essay has three parts:

1. Intorduction;

2. Body;

3. Conclusion.

Intorduction may be started abruptly for having affect or with a sentence which encompasses the whole essay. This part must contain items to be explained in the body of the essay.

Body of the essay must be the explanation of the introduction. It is divided into paragraphs which are ordered on the basis of significance of points relating to the main theme.

Conclusion is usually the opinion of the writer and must be such that it seems commentary/summary of the whole essay from critical point of view
