Pace yourself. Far too many students start their papers the night before they are due and write straight through until their deadline. Most have even deceived themselves into thinking they write best this way. They don’t. Professors give out assignments at the beginning of the semester for a reason: so that you have ample time to plan, research, write, and revise a paper. Taking advantage of that time means that not only will you produce a better paper but you’ll do so with less stress and without losing a night of sleep (or partying) the evening of the due date. Block out time at the beginning of the semester β€” e.g. 2 weeks for research, 2 weeks for writing, 2 weeks to let your draft β€œsit”, and a few days to revise and proofread. During your writing time, set aside time to write a little bit each day (500 words is incredibly doable, usually in less than an hour β€” a short blog post is that long!) and β€œpark downhill” when you’re done β€” that is, end your writing session at a place where you’ll be able to easily pick up the thread the next day.
Plan, then write. For some reason, the idea of planning out a paper strikes fear deep into the hearts of most students β€” it’s as if they consider themselves modernist artists of the word, and any attempt to direct the course of their brilliance would sully the pure artistic expression that is their paper. This is, in a word, dumb. There is no successful writer who does not plan his work before he starts writing β€” and if he says he does, he’s lying. Granted, not every writer, or even most, bothers with a traditional formal outline with Roman numerals, capital letters, Arabic numerals, lowercase letters, lowercase Roman numerals, and so on. An outline can be a mindmap, a list of points to cover, a statement of purpose, a mental image of your finished paper β€” even, if you’re good, the first paragraph you write. See the introduction to this post? That’s an outline: it tells you what I’m going to talk about, how I’m going to talk about it, and what you can expect to find in the rest of the paper. It’s not very complete; my real outline for this post was scribbled on my bedside notebook and consisted of a headline and a list of the ten points I wanted to cover.
Whatever form it takes, an effective outline accomplishes a number of things. It provides a ruler to measure your progress against as you’re writing. It acts as a reminder to make sure you cover your topic as fully as possible. It offers writing prompts when you get stuck. A good outline allows you to jump back and forth, attacking topics as your thinking or your research allows, rather than waiting to see what you write on page six before deciding what you should write about on page seven. Finally, having a plan at hand helps keep you focused on the goals you’ve set for the paper, leading to better writing than the β€œmaking it up as you go along” school of writing to which most students seem to subscribe.

Start in the middle. One of the biggest problems facing writers of all kinds is figuring out how to start. Rather than staring at a blank screen until it’s burned into your retinas trying to think of something awe-inspiring and profound to open your paper with, skip the introduction and jump in at paragraph two. You can always come back and write another paragraph at the top when you’re done β€” but then again, you might find you don’t need to. As it turns out, the first paragraph or so are usually the weakest, as we use them to warm up to our topic rather than to do any useful work.
Write crappy first drafts. Give up the fantasy of writing sterling prose in your first go-around. You aren’t Jack Kerouac (and even he wrote some crummy prose) and you aren’t writing the Great American Novel (and Kerouac beat you to it, anyway). Write secure in the knowledge that you can fix your mistakes later. Don’t let the need to look up a fact or to think through a point get in the way of your writerly flow β€” just put a string of x’es or note to yourself in curly brackets {like this} and move on. Ignore the rules of grammar and format β€” just write. You can fix your mistakes when you proofread. What you write doesn’t matter, what you rewrite is what matters.
Don’t plagiarize. Plagiarism is much more than lifting papers off the Internet β€” it’s copying phrases from Wikipedia or another site without including a reference and enclosing the statement in quotes, it’s summarizing someone else’s argument or using their data without noting the source, it’s including anything in your paper that is not your own original thought and not including a pointer to where it comes from. Avoid ever using another person’s work in a way that even suggests it is your own.
Be sparing in your use of other people’s work, even properly cited. A paper that is essentially a string of quotes and paraphrases with a minimum of your on words is not going to be a good paper, even though each quote and paraphrase is followed by a perfectly formed reference.

Use directions wisely. Make sure your paper meets the requirements spelled out in the assignment. The number one question most students ask is β€œhow long does it have to be?” The real answer, no matter what the instructions say, is that every paper needs to be exactly as long as it needs to be to make its point. However, almost every topic can be stretched to fill out a book, or condensed down to a one-page summary; by including a page-count, your professor is giving you a target not for the number of words but for the level of detail you should include.
Contrary to popular opinion, writing shorter papers well is much harder than writing longer papers. If your professor asks you to write 8 – 10 pages, it’s not because she doesn’t think you can write more than ten pages on your topic; more likely, it’s because she doesn’t think you can write less than eight.

Avoid Wikipedia. I admit, I am a big fan of Wikipedia. It is generally well-researched, authoritative, and solidly written. But I cringe when students cite Wikipedia in their papers, especially when they use the worst possible introductory strategy: β€œAccording to Wikipedia, [subject of paper] is [quote from Wikipedia].” Wikipedia β€” and any other general-purpose encyclopedia β€” is really not a suitable source for college-level work. It’s there as a place to look up facts quickly, to gain a cursory understanding of a topic, not to present detailed examinations of academic subjects. Wikipedia is where you should start your research, but the understanding that forms the core of a good academic paper (or nearly any other kind of paper) should be much deeper and richer than Wikipedia offers. But don’t take my word for it: Jimmy Wales, one of Wikipedia’s founders, has very openly discouraged students from using his creation as a source.
Focus on communicating your purpose.Revise your paper at least once, focusing on how well each line directs your readers towards the understanding you’ve set out to instill in them. Every sentence should direct your reader towards your conclusion. Ask yourself, β€œDoes this sentence add to my argument or just take up space? Does it follow from the sentence before, and lead into the following sentence? Is the topic of each paragraph clear? Does each sentence in the paragraph contribute to a deeper understanding of the paragraph’s topic?” Revising your paper is where the magic happens β€” when you’re done with your first draft, your understanding of your subject will be much greater than it was when you started writing; use that deeper knowledge to clarify and enrich your writing. Revision should take about the same time as writing β€” say 15 – 30 minutes a page.
Proofread. Proofreading is a separate thing entirely from revision, and should be the last thing you do before declaring a paper β€œfinished”. This is where you’ll want to pay attention to your grammar β€” make sure every sentence has a subject and a verb, and that they agree with each other. Fix up all the spelling errors, especially the ones that spell-checking misses (like β€œthere” and β€œtheir”). Certainly run your word processor’s spell-checker, but that’s the beginning, not the end, of proofreading. One good trick is to proofread your paper backwards β€” look at the last word, then the second-to-last word, then the third-to-last word, and so on. This forces your brain to look at each word out of its original context, which means that your memory of what you wanted to write won’t get in the way of seeing what you actually did write.
Conclude something. Don’t confuse a β€œconclusion” with a β€œsummary”. The last paragraph or two should be the culmination of your argument, not a rehash of it. Explain the findings of your research, propose an explanation for the data presented, point out avenues for future research, or point out the significance of the facts you’ve laid out in your paper. The conclusion should be a strong resolution to the paper, not a weak recapitulation tacked on to pad out the page count.

5 Important Lessons People Usually Learn Too Late in Life

No one lives a life free of regret. As humans, we will always consider the past and find something we wish we'd done differently. But a truly self-aware person will have substantially fewer regrets in life. Our journeys are a series of successes and failures, experiences that build us up and challenges that knock us down. We make friends and find soulmates and lose some, too. And we never stop learning. But some lessons in life we often learn too late. Don't let these be on that list.

1. Live Life For You

Life has different meanings to different people--different priorities, different thoughts on what matters and what is expected. Live your life for you. Be your own person. What matters to you? It might be a lot different than what matters to your dad, or to your grandparents. If your family has a 3-generation history of practicing medicine, that doesn't mean you have to become a doctor. It means that it might be harder for you to gain your parents' approval, or feel validated. But giving in and doing something you don't love is a much deeper pain in the long run. Do what is important to you.

2. Work Hard For Tomorrow, But Enjoy Yourself Today, Too

Here's the thing--and you've heard this before: we never know when our time on Earth is up. Work relentlessly toward achieving your goals in life, define what you want, work backwards, and execute your plan to get there--but don't forget to enjoy today, too. Hard work is hard work, and of course there are plenty of things you'll have to do that you don't enjoy. But build in time today for things (and people) you love. Pause and enjoy the present. Take a walk with a friend. Play the guitar outside. Have lunch with your mother. Talk about things you care about.

Live for future you, but never neglect present you.

3. Spend Quality Time

How much of the time you spend with friends and family is your phone in your hand or in front of your face? Look up. Listen to people you are hanging out with. Talk about real things. Learn together. Go places. Do things! Go on adventures with people you enjoy. No one remembers time spent in silence watching TV, laptop on lap, phone in hand, on a couch with some friends. Make memories. Do new things.

4. Take Care Of Your Body

Your body is the only one you get, and it's your only vessel for exploring the world. Take care of it. Exercise and eat healthy foods. Take the stairs instead of the escalator. Choose the salad a few more times each week. Take care of your body so you have more time on Earth to do what matters.

5. Manage Money Wisely

Live below your means. Start saving the moment you start earning, even if you can only part with one dollar each month--start forming the habit. Invest. Grow your wealth. Don't increase spending as soon as you get a raise. Save and spend your money on things you actually care about. If travel is important to you, save and research how you can travel cheaply--see Google Flights, Airbnb, Hostels.com, etc. Use your money on what (and who) is important to you, but never stop saving.

--

Everyone has regrets, but through self-examination you can actively work to reduce how many things you wish you did differently in your life. Take a solo trip. Understand exactly who you are and what you care about.

GRAMMAR NOTES

Sentence Type:

A)Simple sentences

πŸ’ πŸ’¨ A simple sentence contains a subject and a verb.
πŸ’ πŸ’¨ It expresses a single complete tought that can stand on its own.

πŸ’ƒπŸ•ΊExamples:

πŸ‘†. The baby cried for food.

✨ There is a subject and a verb that expresses a complete thought✨

✌.Professor Maple's intelligent students completed and turned in their homework.

✨A simple sentence does not necessarily have to be short. It can have adjectives. In this case, there are two verbs "completed" and "turned in". However, the sentence expresses one complete thought and therefore is a simple sentence.✨

🀟. Megan and Rone ate too much and felt sick.🌚

✨ Althought there are two subjects and two verbs, it is still a simple sentence because both verbs share the same subjects and express one complete thought.✨

B)Compaund Sentencesβ˜ƒβ„β›„

🌏 A compound sentence has two independent clauses. An independent clause is a part of a sentence that can stand alone because it contains a subject and a verb and expresses a complete thought.πŸŒ–

🌍 πŸŒ– Basically, a compaund contains two simple sentences.

🌎 These independent clauses are joined by a conjunction (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so)πŸŒ–

πŸ’₯ExamplesπŸ’₯:

1⃣The shoplifter had stolen clothes, so he ran once he saw the police.β›±

β–ΆBoth sides of the conjuction "so" are complete sentences.⚑

βœ… The shoplifter had stolen clothes" can stand alone and so can "he ran once he saw the police." Therefore, this is a compound sentence.βœ…

2⃣ They spoke to him in Spanish, but he responded in English.β›±

β–Ά This is also a compaund sentence that uses a conjunction to separate two individual clauses.⚑

GRAMMAR NOTES

🀩C) Complex Sentence😎

😱 A complex sentence is an independent clause joined by one or more dependent clauses. A dependent clause either lacks a subject or a verb or has both a subject and a verb that does not express a complete thought.🀯

😱 A complex sentence is an always has a subordinator (as, because, since, after, although, when) or relative pronouns (who, that, which).🀯

Examples:
πŸ§Ÿβ€β™€. After eating lunch at The Cheesecake Factory, Tim went to the gym to exercise.πŸ§›β€β™€

πŸ§Ÿβ€β™‚ The independent close is "Tim went to the gym to exercise". The subordinating clause before it is dependent on the main, independent clause. If one were to say "after eating lunch at The Cheesecake Factory," it would be an incomplete thought.πŸ§›β€β™‚

πŸ€·β€β™‚. Opinionated women are given disadvantages in societies that privilege male accomplishments.πŸ€·β€β™€

πŸ™†β€β™€ The subject is "opinionated women" and the verb is "are given". The first part of the sentence "opinionated women are given disadvantages in societies" is an independent clause that expresses a complete thought. The following "that privilege male accomplishments" is a relative clause that describes which types of societies.πŸ™†β€β™‚

πŸ§šβ€β™‚. The woman who taught Art History 210 was fired for stealing school supplies.πŸ§žβ€β™€

πŸ§šβ€β™€ The dependent clause in this sentence is "who taught Art History 210" because removed, the rest of the sentence would stand as an independent clause. "Who taught Art History 219" is an adjective clause that provides necessary details about the subject, woman.πŸ§žβ€β™‚

Writing Task 2 Sample

Prison is not a cure for crime. To reduce crime in the long-term, courts should significantly reduce prison sentences and focus on education and community work to help criminals not to re-offend.

To what extent do you agree or disagree with the opinion?


Note: The general subject of the question is the best way to reduce crime. It has been given that long prison sentences should be maintained or to reduce it and emphasis on education and community work. Comment on both views. This is a short example. You should write at least 350 words. 4 body paragraphs. 


            There are many different opinions on the best way to reduce crime. The traditional solution is to be hard on criminals and put them in prison for a very long time. An opposing point of view is expressed by people with more modern ideas. They think that education and community work are the long -term solutions to cutting crime. So, who is right - the traditionalist or the modernist?

           People in favour of reducing prison sentences often argue that prisons should not simply be places of punishment. In traditional prisons, people learn a lot about crime, so when they leave prison, they will commit more crimes. Education, however, gives people the skills to get a job when they leave prison, which means that they will probably not re-offend. Part-time work experience in the community is also very helpful as it is a step back into everyday life in society. People can be in prison, but they can also feel they are doing useful work. 

          On the other hand, some people argue that long prison sentences are right because the punishment should fit the crime. If, for example, someone commits a serious crime such as bank robbery, they should go to prison for a long time. They also believe that reducing prison sentences significantly reduces people's fear of prison and consequently, people will commit more crimes. People will not be frightened of going to a prison which is like a university with learning and work experience opportunity.

         In conclusion, it is agreeable that education and community work can have an important role in helping reduce crime, but there should also be strict controls on the type of community work prisoners can do. It is important to understand that some people are a real danger to society and need to stay in prison for a very long time.
