of a paragraph is one, and only one idea. The first word in a paragraph is
about one half inch to the right. It is called indenting the first word. Also
there is blank space down both left and right sides of the page. It is called
margins.
Each paragraph should have a title. A title tells a few in few words tell

In the prewriting step, taking notes is used to collect briefly
the ideas to write about. For instance, students get notes
from class lectures, or reading assignment. Then, write
notes on each paragraph. On page 2, you made some notes
after your friend answered your questions. Use the notes to
write your own paragraph.
Give the paragraph a title: My friend.
Firstly, write our friends name with: My friends nameis (you may write with different sentence)
Use your notes on page 2 to make sentence about
your friends. Include pictures where possible.
End the paragraph by telling how you feel about your
friend. Make in one or two sentences. For example, Im
glad to have as my best friend. I hope we will be
always together.
To edit well, firstly you check it, make changes, and give
corrections. It will be more interesting to communicate yourmeaning if you write clearer.
There are four steps in editing your paragraph:
Firstly, check the meaning. Does it communicate and
clear for you? If not, make changes.
Next, check the mechanics. Try to look for mistakes in
punctuation, grammar, and spelling. If you find the
mistakes, correct them
Thirdly, ask your partner to check the meaning and if
the information is unclear and incorrect. If the answeris yes, make some changes.
Finally, ask your partner to check the mechanics.
Check it for punctuation and spelling. Then fix them if
she finds the mistakes. Also, ask other student or the
teacher if youre disagree to the mistake.

Subjects and verb
Every sentence must have at least one subject and one verb in order to be a sentence.
Some sentences must have other parts in order to express a complete thought. The man boughtisnot a sentence because it does not express a complete thought. We need to know what he bought.
Subjects and verbs are the most important parts of a sentence. In
English, the subject of a sentence is always expresses except in a command:
Hurry! ( we know that the subject is you
My classmate lost the keys to his motorcycle.
(Who lost the keys? My classmate)
The motorcycle hit the student.
(What hit the student? The car)
Football and badminton are my favorite sports in the school.
(What are my favorite sports in the school? Football and badminton)
The subjects tells who or what did something. It
is a noun or pronoun.
The verb often tells the action. However, sometimes a verb
doesnt tell an action. Sometimes it just links the subject with
the rest of the sentence.

STEP 4:

Part 3 SENTENCE STRUCTURE
Sentence is a group of words that contains at least one subject and
one verb. It also expresses a complete though. There are four kinds of
sentence viewed by its components. They are as follows:
a. Simple sentenceb. Compound sentencec. Complex sentenced. Compound-complex sentence
Simple sentence is a sentence that has one subject-verb
combination. Some component in a simple sentence can be compound
whether its subject, verb, or both of them. The combination of subject and
verb in simple sentence can be formulated as follows:
a. SV : Simple subject with simple verbExample : My teacher speaks English well.
-
7/28/2019 INTRODUCING PEOPLE.doc
26/33
b. SSV : compound subject with simple verbExample : My teacher and my friend speak English well.
c. SVV : simple subject with compound verbExample : My friend is a instructor and has good salary.
d. SSVV : compound subject with compound verbExample : Dian and Ida speak and write English well.
However, if the sentence has two subject-verb combinations, it is
called compound sentence. Compound sentences are generally formulated
as: SV, (connecting word) SV. For example: My brother lives in Tinanggea,and my sister lives in Kolaka. More explanation about Compound Sentence
are in the Unit 2.
Practice: Simple Sentence Patterns
Look at the passage, and then look for the following instruction!
1. Underline the subjects with one line.2. Underline the verbs with two lines.
3. Write S or V above each underlined words.4. Finally, write the formula for the sentence.5.Example:
My grandfather loves to fish and often takes me with him to his
favorite fishing place.
Formula : S S V

and joins two or more similar things in positive sentences.
Example: I like sinonggi and kasuami.

Example: I dont like sinonggi or kasuami.
I cannot sing, dance, and speech in public places.
or also connects two or more choices or alternatives.
Example: I would go to Raha, Wakatobi, or Wanci on my next holiday.

Sentence Combining
Sentence combining is an exercise to improve your sentence-writing
skills. There are some several correct ways to combine the sentences. They
are as follows:
1. Do not repeat words if possible. For example, in the first sentencebellow, do not repeat I am a. You may omit words, but dont omit anyimportant information.
-
7/28/2019 INTRODUCING PEOPLE.doc

Example:
1. a. I am an artist.b. I am famous
2. a. I have black eyes.b. I have a long black hair.
I am a famous artist. I have black eyes and a long black hair.
Practice: Sentence Combining

Free writing is a way to get ideas. When you free write, you choose a
topic, and then you sit down and write whatever sentences come into your
mind about the topic. Dont worry about the grammar, spelling, or
punctuation, and dont worry about putting the ideas in order. You dont
even have to write complete sentences. Just write everything that comes into
your mind about your topic. If you cannot think of an English word, write it in
your own language. The goal is to keep writing for about ten minutes without
stopping. Write horizontally across the paper as you do when you do a letter
or a formal paragraph.
Here is an example of free writing.
After you have written about ten minutes, read what you have
written and look for ideas that you can use in your paragraph. Cross out
ideas that you will not use. Circle the ideas that you can use. In the example
on the next page, the students decided to write about her teachers method
in teaching process. She crossed out the parts about joke. She circled the
ideas that seem useful.
Free Writing about My Teacher

classroom. His smile looks nice. When students see him, he usually
greets them. He is also a funny teacher because he likes to make a
joke when he is teaching. Every Monday, he teaches us in the
classroom. He speaks English fluently and easy to understand. He
also gives his student some useful advices, so we can be motivated
to learn. He is also a discipline teacher. He always comes on time in
the classroom when he has a subject. My English teacher is really
