Metrosexual Lifestyle

      Maleness nowadays is an option for almost all men who are living in the 20th century. Most of the men were traditionally born with their “could-not-care-much” about their appearances. With the help of various type of newly invented technologies, a very advance approach by the media stream, it changes those men from care-less to care-more about their appearances.

On top of that, this will increase the country’s performances economically, as all the positives values in metrosexual lifestyle give many advantages.

Steps To Write an Essay!

Topic Has Been Assigned

You may have no choice as to your topic. If this is the case, you still may not be ready to jump to the next step.
Think about the type of paper you are expected to produce. Should it be a general overview, or a specific analysis of the topic? If it should be an overview, then you are probably ready to move to the next step. If it should be a specific analysis, make sure your topic is fairly specific. If it is too general, you must choose a narrower subtopic to discuss.
For example, the topic "KENYA" is a general one. If your objective is to write an overview, this topic is suitable. If your objective is to write a specific analysis, this topic is too general. You must narrow it to something like "Politics in Kenya" or "Kenya's Culture."
Once you have determined that your topic will be suitable, you can move on.

Organize Your Ideas

---

The purpose of an outline or diagram is to put your ideas about the topic on paper, in a moderately organized format. The structure you create here may still change before the essay is complete, so don't agonize over this.
Decide whether you prefer the cut-and-dried structure of an outline or a more flowing structure. If you start one or the other and decide it isn't working for you, you can always switch later.

---

Diagram

1. Begin your diagram with a circle or a horizontal line or whatever shape you prefer in the middle of the page.
2. Inside the shape or on the line, write your topic.
3. From your center shape or line, draw three or four lines out into the page. Be sure to spread them out.
4. At the end of each of these lines, draw another circle or horizontal line or whatever you drew in the center of the page.
5. In each shape or on each line, write the main ideas that you have about your topic, or the main points that you want to make.
   • If you are trying to persuade, you want to write your best arguments.
   • If you are trying to explain a process, you want to write the steps that should be followed.
     You will probably need to group these into categories.
     If you have trouble grouping the steps into categories, try using Beginning, Middle, and End.
   • If you are trying to inform, you want to write the major categories into which your information can be divided.
6. From each of your main ideas, draw three or four lines out into the page.
7. At the end of each of these lines, draw another circle or horizontal line or whatever you drew in the center of the page.
8. In each shape or on each line, write the facts or information that support that main idea.

When you have finished, you have the basic structure for your essay and are ready to continue.

Compose a Thesis Statement

---

Now that you have decided, at least tentatively, what information you plan to present in your essay, you are ready to write your thesis statement.
The thesis statement tells the reader what the essay will be about, and what point you, the author, will be making. You know what the essay will be about. That was your topic. Now you must look at your outline or diagram and decide what point you will be making. What do the main ideas and supporting ideas that you listed say about your topic?

Your thesis statement will have two parts.

• The first part states the topic.
  • Kenya's Culture
  • Building a Model Train Set
  • Public Transportation
• The second part states the point of the essay.
  • has a rich and varied history
  • takes time and patience
  • can solve some of our city's most persistent and pressing problems
  Or in the second part you could simply list the three main ideas you will discuss.
  • has a long history, blends traditions from several other cultures, and provides a rich heritage.
  • requires an investment in time, patience, and materials.
  • helps with traffic congestion, resource management, and the city budget.

Once you have formulated a thesis statement that fits this pattern and with which you are comfortable, you are ready to continue.

Write the Body Paragraphs

---

In the body of the essay, all the preparation up to this point comes to fruition. The topic you have chosen must now be explained, described, or argued.
Each main idea that you wrote down in your diagram or outline will become one of the body paragraphs. If you had three or four main ideas, you will have three or four body paragraphs.

Each body paragraph will have the same basic structure.

1. Start by writing down one of your main ideas, in sentence form.
   If your main idea is "reduces freeway congestion," you might say this:
   Public transportation reduces freeway congestion.
2. Next, write down each of your supporting points for that main idea, but leave four or five lines in between each point.
3. In the space under each point, write down some elaboration for that point.
   Elaboration can be further description or explanation or discussion.
   

   Supporting Point

   Commuters appreciate the cost savings of taking public transportation rather than driving.

   Elaboration

   Less driving time means less maintenance expense, such as oil changes.

   Of course, less driving time means savings on gasoline as well.

   In many cases, these savings amount to more than the cost of riding public transportation.





4. If you wish, include a summary sentence for each paragraph.
   This is not generally needed, however, and such sentences have a tendency to sound stilted, so be cautious about using them.

Write the Introduction and Conclusion

---

Your essay lacks only two paragraphs now: the introduction and the conclusion. These paragraphs will give the reader a point of entry to and a point of exit from your essay.

---

Introduction

The introduction should be designed to attract the reader's attention and give her an idea of the essay's focus.

1. Begin with an attention grabber. The attention grabber you use is up to you, but here are some ideas:
   
   
   • Startling information
     This information must be true and verifiable, and it doesn't need to be totally new to your readers. It could simply be a pertinent fact that explicitly illustrates the point you wish to make.
     If you use a piece of startling information, follow it with a sentence or two of elaboration.
   • Anecdote
     An anecdote is a story that illustrates a point.
     Be sure your anecdote is short, to the point, and relevant to your topic. This can be a very effective opener for your essay, but use it carefully.
   • Dialogue
     An appropriate dialogue does not have to identify the speakers, but the reader must understand the point you are trying to convey. Use only two or three exchanges between speakers to make your point.
     Follow dialogue with a sentence or two of elaboration.
   • Summary Information
     A few sentences explaining your topic in general terms can lead the reader gently to your thesis. Each sentence should become gradually more specific, until you reach your thesis.
2. If the attention grabber was only a sentence or two, add one or two more sentences that will lead the reader from your opening to your thesis statement.
3. Finish the paragraph with your thesis statement.

---

Conclusion

The conclusion brings closure to the reader, summing up your points or providing a final perspective on your topic.
All the conclusion needs is three or four strong sentences which do not need to follow any set formula. Simply review the main points (being careful not to restate them exactly) or briefly describe your feelings about the topic. Even an anecdote can end your essay in a useful way.

Add the Finishing Touches

---

You have now completed all of the paragraphs of your essay. Before you can consider this a finished product, however, you must give some thought to the formatting of your paper.

Check the order of your paragraphs.

Look at your paragraphs. Which one is the strongest? You might want to start with the strongest paragraph, end with the second strongest, and put the weakest in the middle. Whatever order you decide on, be sure it makes sense. If your paper is describing a process, you will probably need to stick to the order in which the steps must be completed.

Check the instructions for the assignment.

When you prepare a final draft, you must be sure to follow all of the instructions you have been given.

• Are your margins correct?
• Have you titled it as directed?
• What other information (name, date, etc.) must you include?
• Did you double-space your lines?

Check your writing.

Nothing can substitute for revision of your work. By reviewing what you have done, you can improve weak points that otherwise would be missed. Read and reread your paper.

• Does it make logical sense?
  Leave it for a few hours and then read it again. Does it still make logical sense?
• Do the sentences flow smoothly from one another?
  If not, try to add some words and phrases to help connect them. Transition words, such as "therefore" or "however," sometimes help. Also, you might refer in one sentence to a thought in the previous sentence. This is especially useful when you move from one paragraph to another.
• Have you run a spell checker or a grammar checker?
  These aids cannot catch every error, but they might catch errors that you have missed.

_________________________________________________________________________________

The introduction is the most important part of your essay, and it has one purpose to fulfill above all others: to draw in the reader. Ideally this should all begin right from the attention-grabbing opening sentence. If the introduction can then go on to orient the reader to the focus of the essay, then that can be very helpful. Orientation, however, is not an essential purpose because that can be achieved gradually in the essay. Many people make the mistake of writing a paragraph that explains what they are going to talk about in the rest of the essay. Such a paragraph might include something such as the following: "My journey toward college has been shaped by a variety of experiences, including academic studies, volunteer work, and extracurricular activities." The reader knows that you are going to talk about these things and is most likely muttering to himself, "Get to the point."

There are 7 main type of introductary paragraph that usually being used in an article :

The Day I introduce my friend

I dont really remember the date when we were doing the introductional part to the whole class, but this post, I am going to write about it. Herm. It was the other way around to introduce yourself, by introducing your partner that being choosed by you.

Behalf of the class, i've suggested the girls to pick some boys to be their partner, so that it will be much much more interesting. Haha. Well, Farah Ziana is my partner during that session. To be honest, between reading and speaking something out is a very different thing. The awkwardness, of me speaking in front of the class, in English, must be obviously detected by Miss Zu. Serve you right for not practicing English as your second languange.

here it goessssssssss!

I dont have much confidence to speak, since I am not good in praticing it out. Oh English. But that is not going to be the reason for not to do task. Here it goes.

The one who standing up infront of you guys today, is Farah Ziana Kasim, she is 19 years old from Bahau, Negeri Sembilan. Was born at Tampin's District Hospital, which is at the same place with me. Just the date, and the year differs.....


Well those are part of the lines that I wrote for Farah's introduction. When there's a will, there's a way! Do Not Give Up, insyaAllah, I can do this.

1..2..3.. Action!!

Alhamdulillah, this is our 7th time in class with Miss Zu, at BK16, the hottest class among our class in here. But everything were just fine just now. With full of suprise, we've been told to pick some scene from Allahyarham P.Ramlee for us to re-act and to translate the script to English. Though yesterday Miss Zu asked us to prepare for the noung thing, but, unfortunately, because there's a lack of a very important equipment, we postpone it for tommorow class.

We've been devided into 5 groups, and my group members are, Alif, Panjang, Farah and Ida. We have picked the scence from Seniman Bujang Lapok and some scene from Ibu Mertuaku. I've translated the "Malam Dipagar Bintang" song to English, and it sounds a bit horrible since the pitch and the tune is everywhere. Urghh.

What I have been through for today, giving me an opportunity to expose myself to have more confidence in front of the public, ways of expressing our own idea, our own creativity. Especially for my classmates Taufik, this kind of activity giving him more comfortability to get along with us more. InsyaAllah. Tommorow I am going to write to you about Pronouns! Wait for it!

What is Noun ?

During our class today, Miss Zu asked us, "What is Noun?" Since she already gave us the task to search over the Mr Google and Mr Yahoo, 2 days before, some of us already prepared for it and I left mine at my room. Sigh. Others kept on reading and reading, but none of us really understand the meaning, or the concept of noun.

It's all about noun for today's session, detecting which is noun and which is not noun, what are possesive pronoun, what is common pronoun, what is proper pronoun, irrelegular plural constructions, and much much more. And those noun-thingy drive some awkward feelings inside me. Again, Sigh. Back at my Secondary School, I pay none of my attention towards my English teacher. Well, whats done is done, Hakim. Nuff said. (:

Example

Tania rides her new bicycle through the neigborhood.

Tania - Proper Noun
Rides - Verb
Her - Possesive Pronouns
New - Adjective
Bicycle - Common Noun
Through - Prepositions
the - Article
neigborhood - Common Noun 


more soon! keep on reading!
