Journal 4

In the previous journal I wrote about some of the problems that I faced in writing Department such as how I can write a good conclusion, and how I can make a good summarizing task. Thanks to some sites I was able to solve these problems and learned the correct ways to write them. In this article I will focus to solve other problems that are important in writing because it is the basis of good writing, such as sorting ideas and thesis statement.

In writing sorting ideas is very important because it helps us to have good ideas in our essays. On top of that, it is my biggest problem in writing. I have problem when I want to write in the exam because all the time I feel that I don’t have any good ideas to write about. To resolve this problem I used some ways. The first way I read some books that help me on the development of information I have and give me more ideas such as, some newspapers and some magazines like Al Ittihad newspaper and some magazines such as cultural. The other way is I listen to some of the programs that talk about a lot of cultural subjects such as medicine and the life programs. Some programs on the radio such as BBC. I listen to these programs and I tried to write about what I heard and this method helped me a lot in the development of ideas.

On the other hand, thesis statement is the second problem in my writing. What I learned from this websites http://www.docstoc.com/docs/7170834/How-to-Write-A-Good-Thesis-Statement is thesis statement is a tentative central idea. It is a generalization preparing the reader for supporting details that will follow. In a research paper it tells the reader what you will be proving about the topic. Also, it cannot involve my opinion or fact or question. To solve this problem I attempted to review some books that explain how we have good thesis statement such as, Effective Academic Writing book. This book helped me a lot because I choose some topics and I tried to make good thesis statement. That way helped me a lot because now I can write better thesis statement than what I had written before.

In conclusion, this journal focuses in writing specially in sorting ideas and thesis statement. Also, how can I solve the problems that I have in these to part of writing. In addition, to solve this I used websites and some books such as, Effective Academic Writing book and some newspapers. I will continue to use these methods because I felt some progress from them.
