today,we learnt about author's purpose and tone in their writing. We need to focus what actually the author wants to tell in his/her writing. Important reasons for author's to write:
WHAT IS PURPOSE ??
important reasons for author's to write:
1) entertain - The author tells a story that describes something or someone in an interesting way.
2) persuade - The author tries to change our opinion on a topic by appealing to our emotions.
3) instruct - The author will explain or teach something in the story that the reader doesn’t know. The author
provides knowledge to the reader.
4) describe - Authors often describe to support other purposes in writing. They use it to create a character,
set a mood or envision a scene.

today,we learn about passive voice,.
PASSIVE VOICE IS:
Passive voice is used when the focus is on the action. It is not important or not known, however, who or what is performing the action.
Example: My bike was stolen.
In the example above, the focus is on the fact that my bike was stolen. I do not know, however, who did it.
Sometimes a statement in passive is more polite than active voice, as the following example shows:
Example: A mistake was made.
In this case, I focus on the fact that a mistake was made, but I do not blame anyone (e.g. You have made a mistake.).
Form of Passive
Subject + finite form of to be + Past Participle
Example: A letter was written.
When rewriting active sentences in passive voice, note the following:
the object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the passive sentence
the finite form of the verb is changed (to be + past participle)
the subject of the active sentence becomes the object of the passive sentence (or is dropped)
Examples of Passive
Examples of Passive 
Passive Sentences with Two Objects
Rewriting an active sentence with two objects in passive voice means that one of the two objects becomes the subject, the other one remains an object. Which object to transform into a subject depends on what you want to put the focus on.
.As you can see in the examples, adding by Rita does not sound very elegant. That’s why it is usually dropped.

Today,Ms Zu teach us about argumentative essay. Definition: In this kind of essay, we not only give information but also present an argument with the PROS (supporting ideas) and CONS (opposing ideas) of an argumentative issue. We should clearly take our stand and write as if we are trying to persuade an opposing audience to adopt new beliefs or behavior. The primary objective is to persuade people to change beliefs that many of them do not want to change.
before writing,we must :
- Brainstorm ideas
- Identify the main topics.
- Use these topics as headings.
- Decide which side you are on i.e. which arguments are most convincing.
- Plan and write an outline for your essay.
The instructions are,we must write :
1) introduction paragraph
2) body paragraph
3) refutation paragraph
-This is also used to support your claim.
-Use the counter arguments to show that your idea is the stronger one.
-Do not focus only on the opposing ideas.
4) Concluding paragraph
