Writing is a process of prudent decisions "(p.9) Under this definition, must contain messages written means, this definition more complete definition of Byrne (1979) as it aims to write and not write without a clear mandate However, writing is one of four key skills are emphasized in each unit of study in current textbooks However, this is a difficult skill and virtually no preparation and technical training in the learning process because the former students Graduation Exam test forms Since high school graduation exam this year 2014- 2015, students must take additional self- expression and this will make them not choose subjects in English to their official competition To prepare for the English exam, I propose some skills of key points for each category written in upper secondary programs, namely writing and writing something like for each category there II Aims of the research - Help teachers understand students’ object as well as analyze, evaluate the details on the form and because such differences with their classes teach students is an important step to build the optimal plan for each hour taught, so that all students achieve the best performance - To show how to write a profile and a letter III Scope, object and researching method - This topic focuses on high school students studying English in English classes’ amateurs as specialized courses in Physics, specializing in Biology, specializing in Literature, specializing in History This topic can also be applied in the English lessons in secondary schools other - This subject is concerned with ways of writing - Reading reference books, discussing with other teachers, applying in teaching, observing and drawing out experiences IV Methodology - Intuitive Method: Self document researching, teaching experiment, observe the progress of students, conducting planned hours, visits the class to learn from experience, supplemented, adjusted timely teaching methods - Methods to exchange and discuss: after attending hours, talk to colleagues to have teaching methods more effective - Method of test and evaluation: using questionnaires to survey students, design students two equivalent groups, the experimental group’s new method, conventional teaching groups: test, assessment progress in the skills and knowledge of grammar PART B: PROBLEM SOLVING I Introduction The teacher must clearly define the tasks of teaching and learning to write English, we have determined to teach students English vocabulary is to help students make good the skills of reading, listening, speaking, write fluently Students develop vocabulary; Have the ability to choose to write an essay or a letter, the clear arrangement sentence.Train thinking abilities rich imagination and ability of students to use the word.Thereby helping students confident, capable of conduct, flexible communication and the ability to use English in daily life and in everyday life The most important thing ever students learned and developed is skills test exams and not focus on writing skills, as this is the first year they are facing a lot of changes in the examination To good students are new challenges to overcome and with weaker students are gradually clear progress Therefore, teaching methods and management of teachers should always abundant, flexible In this theme, I strongly suggest some ways to write an essays and a letter Specific methods include: - General outline for letter - Some suggested expressions - Example (Unit 4- Part D: writing -English 10) - Profile writing - Example (Unit 12- Part D: writing - English 10) Here are the samples of pedagogical experiment: Experimental Class / Student Number Class Control Postgraduate numbers 10A37 Experimental class 42 10B37 Controlled class 42 10E37 Experimental class 42 10H37 Controlled class 42 II The process of writing According to Tribble (1996) , written with -step process : Before you write : These are steps that the writer done before the draft , including the selection of themes , thoughts , notes , discussions, arranging ideas , outline , gathering information (For example, interviews, searching for information in libraries, data processing) Write a draft: Writing the draft is the writer put ideas into sentences, paragraphs, and concentrate on explaining, clarifying ideas and link ideas Revise: This is an important step to have a complete text The writer will think about what the readers expect, the reader was written towards the center For example, refine texture and association of ideas or more conjunctions Editors: Written formal review of articles such as spelling, grammar, punctuation As we see from the point of view, writing is a one-way process does not involve the reader Reid (1993) also made the same point but added three more steps of the writing process: feedback, evaluation and after writing This makes the process of Reid wrote more satisfactory Briefly, the steps of the writing process according to Reid (1993) may be illustrated in the diagram belo BEFORE WRITING ↓ WRITE DRAFT ↓ FEEDBACK ↓ REVISE ↓ EDITORS ↓ TO JUDGE ↓ AFTER WRITING III Some steps to carry out the writing lesson effectively: Presentation: General outline for letter → Paragr Greeting → Paragraph 1→ aph2,3 → Final (reasons) for development paragraph → Name Before we start writing a letter it is important to think about who we are writing to If we use the strong style, the letter will look odd, silly or impolite For example, if we wrote to a company and used informal language, the letter would look impolite In the same way, if we wrote to a friend and used formal language, the letter would look odd There are certain factors which help us decide whether a letter is formal or informal These are: - The opening of the letter ( e.g Dear Sir/ Madam; Dear Mary,) - The topics in the letter (e.g when formal, they should be only facts) - The language used (e.g formal or informal) - The closing of the letter and the name at the end of it (Yours sincerely, Peter Brown/ Love, Peter, etc…) Personal letters A personal letter is one written to a friend or an acquaintance to communicate across the miles Shorter letters, called notes, are commonly used: - To send an invitation (for dinner, a party, etc…) - To say thank you (for a gift, a special dinner, etc…) - To express congratulations (for an award, a graduation, the birth of a baby, etc.) - To show sympathy (for death, illness, or accident) For example, if you are writing a letter to a personal friend or relative, there is less formality in the layout: (today “date _”) Greeting Dear _, (Your friend’ name) Massage Hi, how are you doing? I’m fine, but I miss you _ Closing I hope you are having fun in school this year Write back soon Signature Best regards, (your name _) Personal letters: Thank- you note Your address _ The date _ Greeting Dear Mrs Jane, Thank you for your assistance yesterday I have completed the application and mailed it I very much appreciate the time and trouble you took Closing _Sincerely, Your name _ Betty Brown */ Note the following about personal letter: - The margin at the left side of the letter - The address and closing are placed the same distance from the right margin - Commas are used between the day and the year in the address, but not at the end of each line of the address - Commas are also used after the greeting, and after the closing Some suggested expressions TYPES OF OPENING REMARKS CLOSING REMARKS LETTER Letters of I am writing to invite you to… I’d love to see you again… invitation Why you come and spend sometimes…I hope you’ll be able to Please come to… make it… I’d love it if you could come to… Please let me know as … soon as possible… I am looking forward too… Accepting I’d love to come… I can’t wait to see an invitation Thank for the kind invitation… you again… The party you invited me to sounds until next Saturday then… lovely… Hope to see you at…… I’d be glad then… Let me know if I can anything to help you… Refusing an invitation I’m afraid I can’t come… I’m sorry to tell you… I’d love to come but… I can’t make it… I won’t be able to come… It’s a real shame… I hope we can get together some other time… I’m sorry to miss… How about next week instead… Asking for Can you send me… Let me know… information Tell me if… Tell me soon… Let me know… Send me the details… Giving After you asked me to…… I hope it will help you… information This is what I found out… Let me know if you need I hope this is the information you were any more help finding looking for… out about This is what you asked me about… I’m glad I could help you… Letters In case you don’t know the way I’ll I hope the directions givingsend you some directions… above are clear enough information Here are a few directions, so you don’t for you… get lost… I hope that you can This is just a quick note to tell you how tofind your way alright… get to… Please pay special I’ve written some directions, and draw attention to the directions… a map to help…… My directions shouldn’t be too difficult to follow… Letters ofI hope you will understand when I say I hope you believe me apology that… when I certainly owe you an apology as I… I say how sorry I am… I’m sorry if upset you in anyway… I cannot express how I find it very hard to tell you that … much I regret… .and I’m sorry for… I beg you to forgive I can’t describe how sorry I am and me for… how guilty I feel… There is no excuse for … and… I hope you’ll accept my apology… Letters I am writing to complain about… I look forward to a complaint I am writing to make a complaint… full refund I am writing to express my strong I hope you will consider dissatisfaction… the quality of product… I am writing to draw your attention to… I hope the problem will be solved… Letters of It’s great to hear that…., congratulation!
