English at Work
Assignment 1
Sample writing
“Essay Writing” is a compulsory course during the second semester in my campus life. The course will be held during the first eighteen weeks of the second semester from 8:15 to 11:00 on Monday mornings. It will be principally conducted through classroom activities. Learners will, at times, be asked to talk in groups, read a topic and analyse it, then we brainstormed to make a list of possible theme and points, like a draft. Previewing lessons is essential for each session. The course will deal specifically with essay-writing. The course aims to get learners master of essay writing. There are four procedures of writing an essay, discovering a thesis-often through prewriting, developing solid support for the thesis-often through more prewriting, organizing the thesis and supporting material and writing it out in a first draft, revising and then editing carefully to ensure an effective, error-free essay. These activities are all carried out through informal and colloquial English. The best way to learn to use it is to insist on writing, form daily diary to formal essays. Final assessment will be held at the end of the term, which will account for 50 percent of the final mark. There will be four assessed assignments during the course, which will account for 50 percent of the final mark.
Learners should finish them on time. Further information will be available in Deputy Dean’s Office.。
