  36. Example: 1. State Opinion • I think mandatory military service is no longer needed.

  37. Example : 2. Reason • In the past, it was formed to defend South Korea against North Korea, but North Korea is not a threat anymore. (Reason)

  38. Example: 3. Specific Examples • North Korea has moved all of its troops away from South Korea to its northern border with China. Also, North and South Korea work together as one army.

  39. Example: 4. Summarize / Restate • Because the purpose of military service no longer exists, I think mandatory military service should end.

  40. Improving Skills • I think people should give to the homeless because people should be kind. I think nice people make a better world • I think Korea should not accept beef from the U.S. because it’s bad. People can die from eating the beef. • Korean women should have to do military service. It is not fair to men.

  41. Verbal Skills #2

  42. Questions • What do you think about capital punishment? • What are some other possible questions?

  43. Practice • Do you prefer public or private health care?

  44. Good example I oppose private health care. The main reason is that large companies can’t be trusted to maintain public health. Korea has one of the best systems in the world according to the U.N. The U.S. has a private system and there are problems with lawsuits and medical costs related to private insurance firms. In the movie Sicko, a man paid $25,000 to have simple surgery on his finger. I think the public system is much better.

  45. Fix the Example • I ____ for private health care. A private health care system would _____ medical quality because _______________. • Also, the public system is expensive. ________________

  46. Introduction to Short Answer Essays #1

  47. Paragraph Outline 1. Topic sentence (States your idea, opinion, main point) (Elaboration of topic sentence if necessary) 2. • Reason 1 -Support (explanation, example, illustration) • Reason 2 -Support (explanation, example, illustration) • Reason 3 -Support (explanation, example, illustration) 3. Concluding sentence (Restates topic sentence in different words) NOTE: Supporting sentences that include facts, statistics and logical reasoning are much more convincing that simple statements of opinion.

  48. Paragraph Students should take notes when they are attending lectures.First, by writing, they are engaging in active, not just passive, learning. Research has shown that students retain less if they only listen or read, but by writing and talking about the material, they retain it better because these actions require more of the brain. In addition, note-taking requires students to process the information. Because they cannot write down every word, they have to choose the most important points and summarize information. Even if the notes are lost, the action of note-taking means that the material is better understood and fixed in the brain. Finally, college and university classes rely on the lecture to transmit information. The professor might discuss a different opinion on the subject than what is in the textbook. Students can take notes on what the professor has described in class and use them for exams. Thus, note-taking is a valuable practice for students. (Less than 200 words)

  49. Identify • What is the main idea? What is the essay about? -List main points that support the main idea • What sequence words did the writer use? -Name specific examples / supporting evidence

  50. You write a paragraph • Write about your opposition or support of campus-wide student festivals. -First write an outline.
