Thlog 6

Thlog 6

Yeah, week 6 is over. This quarter has pasted more than a half.

In this week, we mainly discuss about some materials to prepare for WP2. Also, these knowledge do not only prepare for WP2, but also can help me write articles in the future. For instance, I have learned that there are so many words can replace “say”, such as “assert”, “claim”, “maintain” and “suggest”. I always use “say” in my essay when I want to express similar meaning of “say”, which makes my essay sees mediocre. After I learn these words, I can use such a word in various kinds, which will make my essay more versatile. In addition, “parallelism” is also important whenever we read or write. When we read articles, “parallelism” can remind us which is important in the whole essay. When we write articles, we can use “parallelism” to make article more perfect and notice readers what is important in the article. Thus, I can learning the usage of “parallelism” is useful and helpful to us.

What’s more, we also talked about “moves” in this week. “Moves” is the special method used by author in his or her article to show some special function. We take Sandy’s essay as an example, and we find several Sandy’s “moves” in her essay and discuss why she used such “moves” in that place of her essay. Through discussion, we can find each “move” of author has special function to whole essay, and we can compare “moves” of two essays to know what is the differences of essays’’ focus between these essays.

After discussing these materials in class, we have to prepare to write the draft of WP2, and I hope I can finish my writing project two efficiently and successfully. Let us go together.
