...ItGOesON::::::: Writing Task II

Sunday, March 26, 2006

For those who have written the passage for me, I thank you. You guys are such a blessing to me. The second thing I want you to do is (1) compare the passage you've written with a passage written by an English native speaker (Aussie mate - Pete! *cool*). Then (2) answer the questions following Pete's writing. Email your answers to me at reese_ym@hotmail.com. Those who have written the short essay must help, else my research can't be finished... Again, thanks for helping. I LOVE u guys.

Pete's essay

Once as the sun started to arise, a little girl slept in a little bed in a little house. Her little alarm clock started to sing "bring bring". It ran as she started to stir. Quickly she moved her foot to the clock and turned it off. See she had been up all last night playing playstation with her friends. Then something amazing happened. The alarm clock moved out its arm and tickled her on her feet. Suddenly she was awake and bolted up in a fright and sprung out of bed to clean her teeth and brush her hair. The she was off to work for another day of fun.

Questions to answer after comparing the writing

1. What Differences have you seen in two writing? (For example: content, vocabulary, sentence structure, style, etc.)

2. Do you want to learn the differences you found out? Yes/No? Why or why not?

3. Will you use what you’ve learnt in your writing in the future? Yes/No? Why or why not?

4. Do you think reading a native’s writing helps improving writing English? Yes/No? Why/Why not?
