ACADEMIC WRITING

Name    : Tiara Maharani Class     :   4C NIM       : 2223210043 Subject : Academic Writing   The Impact of Social Media on Our Generation Social media has become an important part of our life. With social media, we can do anything, such as communicate with other people remotely, search for information, and that is useful for expressing our creativity. Social media has been used by all ages, from adults to children because there are no restrictions on using it. But behind all these benefits, social media also has many negative impacts such as being addictive and also a trigger for cyberbullying. Social media platforms provide many benefits to our generation. First, they enable efficient and widespread communication, allowing people to connect with friends, family, and communities around the world. Second, social media has facilitated the rapid dissemination of information, empowering individuals to stay informed about current events and engage in discussions on important issues. Additi

Name    : Tiara Maharani Class     :  4C NIM       : 2223210043 Subject : Academic Writing The Importance of Acquiring Foreign Language Skills In today's globalized world, the ability to communicate in foreign languages has become increasingly vital. Knowing a foreign language offers a wide range of advantages, both on a personal and professional level. From fostering cultural understanding to expanding career opportunities, the significance of acquiring foreign language skills cannot be overstated. This essay will delve into three key reasons why knowing a foreign language is of utmost importance. Facilitating Cross-Cultural Communication One of the primary benefits of knowing a foreign language is the ability to bridge cultural gaps and facilitate effective communication with people from different backgrounds. Language is deeply intertwined with culture, and by acquiring language skills, individuals gain insights into the customs, traditions, and values of other societies. This

The importance of critical writing in academic writing is covered in the part of Phyllis Creme and Mary R. Lea's 2008 book "Writing at University" on pages 82–85. According to the writers, critical writing demands students to do more than just describe ideas and arguments; it also calls for them to investigate and evaluate them. Instead of blindly accepting what they are taught, they contend, critical writing is essential for students to develop their own views and comprehension of the subject. The authors offer a few doable tactics that students might use to develop their critical writing abilities. Students should read broadly and critically in order to engage with a variety of perspectives and ideas. They should also participate in discussions and debates to develop their critical thinking abilities and their ability to convincingly present their positions. Thirdly, students should practice writing critical essays by emphasizing a clear and well-organized framework, us

The previous meeting went through our previous writing, including book summaries. Some of us went over each phase of the writing process for the summary, the challenges encountered, and the last step before submitting the article. When reading books to summarize, we cannot use skimming and scanning tactics, according to the majority of my friends' reviews. To grasp the text in it, we must read it attentively and often. Before publishing the piece, a few of my friends who provided evaluations carried out the same action. They determine whether or not the website's grammar needs improvement. Also, I did that.  Some of my friends also ask other friends to proofread and edit their writing for them. This must be done in writing, and before posting it, we carefully review it. Also from my friends, I learned how challenging it was to write the summary. Because we have to read the book thoroughly before deciding which topics to include in the summary, I thought that I had the same trou

The topic of summarizing the book's substance was covered in the academic writing class yesterday. Although every one of my friends has their own summary, they all share a lot of the same ideas as mine. Additionally, students discuss how to read the book and what they can learn from the summary. What is academic writing, and how is it different from other readings that my friends and I have frequently read previously, were questions that received largely similar replies from my pals. The book then goes on to provide advice on how to comprehend academic writing. The advice is to read more slowly and frequently, or "repeat-read." We continued by talking about critical thinking in writing after hearing about my friends' reading experiences. Writing effectively requires us to apply critical thinking to everything we read, including where the information came from, if we can trust it, and whether what we are reading is accurate. To be critical thinkers, we need to constant

Structures Used in University Writing  The most important details in university writing are the ways of organizing material into different kinds of structures, such as structures, and how they are used to structure and understand the relationships between different ideas. Examples of these structures are provided, along with an illustration of how they might be used for one assignment. 1. Chronology          Most of us already know about this 'chronology' which is related to time in a text. These structures often exist in historical texts which always mention the time of the event. We might find this structure at the beginning of the assignment so that we can give the background to the rest of the text.  2. Description         This structure doesn't mean only found in the description text. It could be also found in the analytic text which attaches an analysis graph about a thing. It is named as 'description' as long as it adds supporting detail or linking informatio
