WRITING EXERCISE EXERCISE 1 Find text based on your field of study then identify the kind of sentences (simple, compound, complex, compound-complex sentences) from this text. National Library Of Medicine In 1953 sleep research pioneer Nathaniel Kleitman and his student Eugene Aserinsky of the University of Chicago decisively overthrew the commonly held belief that sleep was simply a cessation of most brain activity. They discovered that sleep was marked by periods of rapid eye movement, commonly known now as REM sleep. And its existence implied that something active occurred during sleep. All terrestrial mammals that have been examined exhibit REM sleep, which alternates with non-REM sleep, also called quiet sleep, in a regular cycle. More recently, the field has made its greatest progress in characterizing the nature of sleep at the level of nerve cells (neurons) in the brain. In the past 20 years, scientists have mastered techniques for guiding fine microwires (only 32 microns wide, comparable to the thinnest of human hair) into various brain regions. • Simple Sentences • Complex Sentences • Dependent Sentences EXERCISE 2 Now, that you need a guide to develop your own paragraph, here is the template you can just follow. Paragraph Template Make sure your paragraph has 3 distinct parts. 1. Topic sentence: 1. This sentence is the first sentence of a paragraph and summarizes the main idea of the paragraph. 2.

The second sentence identifies the first major supporting detail. 2. The third sentence brings up a second supporting detail. 3. Similarly, the fourth sentence mentions a third supporting detail. 4. Additional sentences can be added here for additional supporting details or to divide one lengthy supporting detail into separate, easier-to-read sentences. 3. Conclusion: 1. The last sentence of your paragraph is your concluding sentence, which quickly ties your supporting thoughts together. 2. It also might restate your first topic sentence using different terms. Printed or e books to read Mind Map Develop a topic sentence Nowadays, millennials certainly have a different view of ebooks and books as reading media.

Supporting sentence 2 From a practical standpoint, ebooks are considered more practical to carry because it is enough to use a smartphone so we can read books anywhere and anytime and the production costs are relatively low compared to printed books which are impractical to carry anywhere so that they require more space besides that they also require more production costs for the manufacture of books. In terms of the environment itself, ebooks are considered environmentally friendly to print because ebooks do not need to use paper, ink and machines compared to printed books which require paper and ink so that if produced in large quantities it can affect the environment. However, books feel more personal and special because of a sense of ownership of the book or feel that the book is more special because of the distinctive aroma that is in each book and cannot be found when we read ebooks. Supporting sentence 3 In terms of health, reading ebooks for too long can make your eyes tired and have the potential to experience minus eyes because you look at smartphone screens or laptop monitors too often.

Conclusion From the differences between books and ebooks, it can be concluded that both ebooks offer a more practical way of reading books, while books themselves have their own characteristics that cannot be found when we read through ebooks. Each person will have a different perception in choosing to read using a book or ebook. The Paragraph : Nowadays, millennials certainly have a different view of ebooks and books as reading media.
