WEBVTT 00:06.100 --> 00:06.530 OK. 00:06.680 --> 00:12.700 Let's go ahead and move forward with looking at some examples of written body paragraphs. 00:12.710 --> 00:20.420 Now when we get to these body paragraphs what I suggest you do is to just stop the screen and read through 00:20.420 --> 00:24.440 the body paragraph read through it at your own pace. 00:24.830 --> 00:25.300 Right. 00:25.310 --> 00:26.300 Look at the language. 00:26.300 --> 00:27.380 Look at the sentences. 00:27.380 --> 00:27.870 Look at how. 00:27.920 --> 00:30.700 Look at how the ideas are connected together. 00:30.710 --> 00:34.770 Look at how it did the body paragraph is being used to answer the question. 00:35.060 --> 00:35.560 OK. 00:36.860 --> 00:39.080 But that's what you're going to want to do. 00:39.110 --> 00:42.020 Stop the tape read the body paragraph 00:49.010 --> 00:53.600 remember a body paragraph is an inverted pyramid right. 00:53.600 --> 00:55.000 It's an inverted pyramid. 00:55.010 --> 01:03.800 When you're writing a proper body paragraph a proper body paragraph it should fall into an inverted 01:03.830 --> 01:04.570 pyramid. 01:08.760 --> 01:10.060 Here's that agree or disagree. 01:10.050 --> 01:16.530 Question and this is the one with the four time students spending most of their time studying they should 01:16.530 --> 01:18.600 be doing other things. 01:18.600 --> 01:21.280 And I disagree. 01:21.960 --> 01:26.310 And this is the bottom paragraph on that. 01:26.460 --> 01:33.330 I disagree because a high GPA requires a student to only focus on their studying. 01:33.540 --> 01:33.910 Right. 01:34.830 --> 01:41.490 So what you could do right now is you can stop the tape and read through this well actually I'll go 01:41.490 --> 01:44.490 ahead and read this one for you. 01:44.490 --> 01:52.290 Now these markings that you see T.S. is for topic sentence detail number one d a d One is detail the 01:52.290 --> 01:59.070 number one and then we have the explanation of detail number one and then I'm going to explain that 01:59.070 --> 02:06.330 example then detail number two explain detail number two that a concluding sentence this is this is 02:06.330 --> 02:11.140 the reason why you only need to only need to do two body paragraphs. 02:11.160 --> 02:12.120 OK. 02:12.390 --> 02:16.030 This is the reason why you only have to do two body paragraphs. 02:16.260 --> 02:18.560 So let's take a look at it. 02:18.840 --> 02:24.600 Despite the desire to participate in outside activities university students must only focus on their 02:24.600 --> 02:25.300 coursework. 02:25.320 --> 02:28.450 Because a high GPA requires dedicated effort. 02:28.790 --> 02:34.320 The reading requirements for GPA excellence require a significant amount of course time invested in 02:34.320 --> 02:35.740 those areas. 02:36.210 --> 02:42.000 A highly intelligent colleague of mine played sports participated in multiple clubs and into his college 02:42.000 --> 02:47.330 career with a 2.0 average because he could not keep up with the course readings. 02:47.520 --> 02:53.790 As this example informs us doing other activities cannot outweigh utilizing all the available time to 02:53.790 --> 02:54.600 study. 02:54.600 --> 03:01.210 Since the results will be a low GPA notwithstanding the previous argument group study time with last 03:01.210 --> 03:04.760 me necessitates a sole focus on coursework. 03:04.890 --> 03:11.190 A student can have five different study groups that meet each week and participating in outside labors 03:11.310 --> 03:19.320 diminishes group availability thereby decreasing the GPA reading and group requirements to attain a 03:19.320 --> 03:20.760 higher GPA. 03:20.760 --> 03:24.750 Demonstrate why time must not be wasted outside of the classroom 03:27.690 --> 03:34.530 and here is a big screen example of it for you guys and you can do it again. 03:34.530 --> 03:37.770 Stop the tape and read through it at your own pace. 03:41.560 --> 03:42.770 Here is an excerpt. 03:42.790 --> 03:44.630 To what extent do you agree or disagree. 03:44.630 --> 03:49.360 Question This is the question about the qualities a person needs to be successful. 03:49.360 --> 03:54.520 Can not be learned at university and I mainly agree. 03:54.520 --> 03:56.440 So if you've ever. 03:56.560 --> 04:02.770 If you if you have ever thought about writing this type of question where you mainly agree or mainly 04:02.770 --> 04:03.800 disagree. 04:03.970 --> 04:06.000 This is how it's done OK. 04:06.760 --> 04:15.460 So please stop the tape and read through this introduction of how you introduction this body paragraph 04:16.810 --> 04:22.590 and actually it would be better if you just stopped the tape right here read it in the big version. 04:22.780 --> 04:23.180 Right. 04:23.980 --> 04:29.080 But this is how you would write a paragraph if you mainly agree or mainly disagree 04:33.530 --> 04:34.080 right. 04:34.120 --> 04:34.860 Here is a. 04:34.860 --> 04:38.190 To what extent do you agree or disagree where I. 04:38.440 --> 04:40.240 This is the second body paragraph. 04:40.260 --> 04:40.640 Why. 04:40.720 --> 04:43.120 Partly agree with the other side. 04:43.300 --> 04:45.960 So again Stop the tape. 04:46.210 --> 04:50.410 Read carefully through to see how I am partly agreeing with the other side 05:00.020 --> 05:01.520 when you read this. 05:01.730 --> 05:05.460 You get a really clear idea of my position right. 05:05.810 --> 05:10.620 Even when I'm presenting the side that I partly agree with I'm calling it a weaker right. 05:10.670 --> 05:13.970 So you're really clear about the side that I really agree with. 05:17.120 --> 05:17.630 All right. 05:17.630 --> 05:18.860 Here is the. 05:18.860 --> 05:21.160 To what extent do you agree or disagree. 05:21.260 --> 05:22.190 Body one. 05:22.580 --> 05:25.960 And this is the one about the postgraduate research. 05:26.030 --> 05:29.890 It should only be given the reason to get should only be given to science. 05:30.170 --> 05:32.030 Or should that be given to other topics. 05:32.030 --> 05:34.740 As you know I said give it to other topics. 05:34.790 --> 05:42.470 This is divided paragraph about art so you can go ahead and take your time and read through this body 05:42.470 --> 05:51.020 paragraph by stopping the tape. 05:51.290 --> 05:53.020 This is the opinion. 05:53.060 --> 05:56.590 Oh now some of you may be saying well where's the second body paragraph. 05:57.170 --> 06:00.920 Everybody in the later lectures in the later lectures. 06:00.920 --> 06:04.910 I'd give you the full essay right. 06:04.930 --> 06:06.750 I give you the full essay. 06:06.870 --> 06:14.550 All we're doing here is I'm pointing out to you that different parts of a body paragraph right. 06:15.450 --> 06:19.950 So that you know if you're doing it correctly you would have all these different body parts to a body 06:19.980 --> 06:23.040 does these parts to a body paragraph. 06:23.040 --> 06:25.480 That's why they're highlighted in yellow everybody. 06:26.640 --> 06:27.700 OK. 06:27.870 --> 06:30.480 That's why they're highlighted in yellow so you can see the different parts. 06:30.480 --> 06:38.030 But in the later lectures I'm going to show you the entire essay. 06:38.500 --> 06:39.250 OK. 06:39.360 --> 06:51.650 The entire essay this body paragraph is about medical advancements. 06:51.830 --> 06:52.350 All right. 06:52.680 --> 06:58.140 This is the one about whether only doing homework is a good or bad thing and I say a bad thing. 06:58.860 --> 07:01.230 And this is the body paragraph. 07:01.230 --> 07:04.020 This talking about playing. 07:04.050 --> 07:06.520 So this is the second body paragraph everybody. 07:06.630 --> 07:11.220 The second body paragraph again you may ask. 07:11.280 --> 07:19.200 Ask me whereas the first body paragraph everybody I'm not I'm not able to show you the full essay in 07:19.200 --> 07:20.570 this structured format. 07:20.580 --> 07:27.690 We're only focusing on one paragraph so that you can look at the outline and then look at how you write 07:27.690 --> 07:31.790 the body paragraph in the later lectures. 07:31.800 --> 07:34.540 We're going to be able to look at the entire essay. 07:35.270 --> 07:35.680 OK. 07:35.690 --> 07:42.540 If you don't want if you don't want to look at or you're not interested in looking at an outline and 07:42.540 --> 07:48.870 how a body paragraph is written specifically and you want to look at the full essays what you want to 07:48.870 --> 07:54.930 do is go ahead and skip and go to the later lectures and his look at the full essays. 07:54.930 --> 07:55.320 Right. 07:55.740 --> 08:01.020 When you look at the full essays it doesn't have this kind of detailed explanation about what the different 08:01.020 --> 08:01.950 sentences are. 08:02.610 --> 08:08.450 But that's what you want to do if you want to just look at full essays only. 08:08.540 --> 08:14.830 All right here's this paragraph where you can again stop it and look at it. 08:15.410 --> 08:23.560 Here's a discuss both sides question where we have the second body paragraph in the opinion separated. 08:23.660 --> 08:28.660 So again you can look at the question look at the outline. 08:28.730 --> 08:30.770 Look at the body paragraphs. 08:31.040 --> 08:44.440 So you can really see how this works. 08:45.810 --> 08:51.360 This is a another disadvantage advantage question about comparing your way of life with that of your 08:51.360 --> 08:51.840 parents. 08:51.840 --> 08:53.770 Which one would you prefer. 08:54.300 --> 08:59.020 Here we're doing it in terms of what comparing it with categories. 08:59.070 --> 09:05.670 So this is this body paragraph and this the body paragraph on comparing my generation versus my parents 09:05.670 --> 09:09.100 generation in terms of opportunities for minorities. 09:09.120 --> 09:12.450 So go ahead and take a look at this. 09:12.630 --> 09:14.460 Take a look at this body paragraphs. 09:14.460 --> 09:36.840 You can see how it's written. 09:36.910 --> 09:44.650 And here it is in terms of discussing of this the one advantage disadvantage question dealing with bringing 09:44.650 --> 09:48.100 your family with you overseas. 09:48.150 --> 09:48.610 OK. 09:49.330 --> 09:54.170 And this first body paragraph was talking about the advantages. 09:54.250 --> 09:55.080 OK. 09:55.150 --> 10:01.680 Now again look at this paragraph very carefully so you can see how I'm writing and now with this one. 10:01.780 --> 10:08.240 What's really interesting is look at the sentences highlighted in orange right. 10:09.070 --> 10:11.670 I wrote this bloody paragraph a little bit differently. 10:11.680 --> 10:17.650 To show you another way to write a body paragraph in the second sentence I introduce detail one in detail 10:17.650 --> 10:22.560 to and then does it in the sentences afterwards. 10:22.860 --> 10:30.210 I explain explained detail one and then explained detail to this is actually a really great way to write 10:30.210 --> 10:31.370 a body paragraph. 10:32.200 --> 10:44.650 And so I just want to give you an example of really how to do that if you wanted to. 10:45.170 --> 10:56.390 And here is the disadvantage is paragraph and again we're introducing the detail one in detail two together 10:56.870 --> 11:04.030 in the second sentence and then we explained detail one and then we explained detail to right. 11:04.480 --> 11:08.540 So this is a great way to write body paragraphs. 11:08.560 --> 11:11.290 I really like doing it this way. 11:11.440 --> 11:15.480 I think it's it simplifies it a little bit for students. 11:15.730 --> 11:20.020 But I want to show you at least one essay I'm doing it this way it's a little bit different than most 11:20.020 --> 11:25.470 of you have seen before but it's actually a really effective way to write body paragraphs 11:28.690 --> 11:30.820 and here is our two part question. 11:33.080 --> 11:33.470 Right. 11:33.830 --> 11:39.290 And so we're going to this is the body paragraph talking about other factors. 11:39.350 --> 11:45.710 Now one thing I want you to look at here and the reason why these sentences are highlighted in orange 11:46.250 --> 11:49.260 is look at the coherence. 11:49.460 --> 11:55.330 Look how we're connecting all the all the sentences together from one to the next. 11:55.370 --> 11:58.040 This is what it means by coherence. 11:58.040 --> 12:00.740 This is what it means by connecting ideas together. 12:00.740 --> 12:03.230 This is what really really impresses the graders 12:10.480 --> 12:14.650 and this is the specific paragraph talking about social reinforcement. 12:19.620 --> 12:20.790 So stop the tape. 12:20.790 --> 12:22.230 Take a look at it read it. 12:22.800 --> 12:24.560 Let me know if you have any questions about it 12:34.260 --> 12:39.500 this is a problem solution question is talking about loss of community and what's the problem with loss 12:39.500 --> 12:40.540 of community. 12:40.760 --> 12:44.980 And what measures can we take to overcome those problems. 12:45.030 --> 12:50.170 So this paragraph specifically talks about the problems. 12:50.990 --> 12:54.720 Stop the tape or take a look at it. 12:55.100 --> 13:01.400 Here is an opinion essay and this this is the well this is the brand new and actually this is a new 13:01.400 --> 13:03.030 one for you guys. 13:03.500 --> 13:07.720 The automobile and the airplane are important inventions of the 20th century. 13:07.850 --> 13:12.770 Both of these inventions have added him an important effect on our lives. 13:12.830 --> 13:14.390 Choose another invention right. 13:14.390 --> 13:18.310 So for this one I chose the actual computer. 13:18.560 --> 13:24.950 And this is a body paragraphs specific specifically about communication and the benefits of communication 13:24.950 --> 13:26.180 from the computer 13:29.590 --> 13:36.270 so if you have any questions about those body paragraphs please let me know. 13:36.400 --> 13:41.610 Now in the upcoming lectures you're going to be able to see the full essays. 13:41.800
