Red brings food to visit her grandmother

You can’t say you bring food [to visit]. The food is NOT for the verb visit.
The food is FOR her grandmother.

A hungry wolf comes.

时间到了,我们要学点更好的单词表达行为哈。

A hungry wolf arrives
A starving wolf arrives ominously.

His saliva is a long river. haha is ok

He decides to wait at her grandmother’s house.

Remember to describe. Answer why. Stretch situation out into small details, and use conjunctions to connect them.

He (subj) decides (verb) [to set] a trap for Red

to set is an infinitive that turns ‘to set’ into a noun.
“a trap for Red” is a object complement.

conjunction ‘and’
[He] waits at her grandmother’s house.

Since we use and, we can carry over the subject.

He decides to set a trap for Red and waits at her grandmother’s house.

He arrives

Try to use more adverbs to describe your verbs.

He meticulously arrives

He sees an old woman lying on the bed. Good!

He eats the “appetizer”.

Let’s describe more and try to connect it.

The wolf sees the old woman as an appetizer.
The wolf devours her in one gulp
use ‘and’ conjunction.

The wolf sees the old woman as an appetizer, and devours her in one gulp.

When Red arrives, she sees her “grandmother” lying on the bed.

Let’s try to be more descriptive. Don’t use quotes to have the audience guess what you are meaning.

When Red arrives, she sees a big hulking figure lying on the bed.

It does not look like her grandmother at all!

It is the wolf actually.

Let’s not use actually. That word is used too much among Chinese students.

In fact, is it the wolf in disguise.

The wolf eats his “main course”

Jump, spring, hop, leap…各种各样的jump synonym 都可以用。

He leaps into the air.
In a gruesome scene, Red becomes his main course.

等于:

subj – verb – obj

subj is a horse. Because its a 3rd singular, we add ‘s’ to the verb like.

In our case, we have verb and verb. We add a to in the middle.

We add to in the middle to make [to run] into a noun.

对比论文

字颜色的意思:

学生写的
我的解释
我的意见你应该怎么写

论文写作和风格意见

这是一篇对比作文。我看到有引言、相同点、不同点和结论。
首先让我眼前一亮的是,这篇文章没有一个强有力的论点。

论文

论文要求:

  • 决定性语言
  • 具体细节
  • 子课题

我从议论文中读出了这些句子:

他们都是父母 他们都为获得公平而努力。他们都支持自己的孩子。

果断的语言还可以,但具体的细节和副标题完全没有。

我不知道是哪本书,但你可以这样说:

Sylvia’s grandfather and Mr Mendez showed their paternal love through education, fairness, and hard work.

钩子

钩子需要吸引读者的注意力。这个钩子比较弱。我们可以使用这样的钩子

The two men face each other like wild beasts.

当你写出像上面这样的句子时,会让读者想知道冲突是什么。它能吸引人们的注意力。

现在你要做的就是在我们的钩子和论题之间写一个连接段。

让我们继续我们的工作,并修改语法:

Two people stand in two direction.

如果两个人站这互相对面的话,最好用 opposite。
然后如果用 opposite,呢就是两个 direction。。我们用复数 direction(s)

Two people stand in opposite directions

 如果学生想表达两个人站在不一样的角度,可以说:
Grandpa and Mr Mendez stand diametrically opposed when it comes to education and human rights。

我没有读过这本书所以内容我不清楚。在这方面我只能判断到这里。

语法意见 第二段

There are many similarities between Grandpa and Mr.Mendez.
When it comes to education and human rights, Grandpa and Mr Mendez share similarities.

First,they are all parents.
First and foremost, they are fathers.

They care about their children’s education.
For example,“your children have to go to a Mexican school,said Mr. Harris.But why?”This shows that Mr.Mendez really cares for his children (p.12)”

Mr Mendez shows his dedication to his children when Mr Harris wants him to send his children to a Mexican school, instead of a better all white school. “Your children have to go a Mexican school, said Mr Harris.” “But why?” rebuts Mr Mendez.

“what does a scholarship jacket mean” This proves that Grandpa wants to help Martha as well.

辅助句不充分。作者需要更多地描述或解释当时的情况。不是讲述,而是要说明人物围绕这件奖学金外套的互动是如何证明爷爷想要帮助玛莎的。

They all care about fairness the others treated Mexican Americans.

句子运行问题。我建议

They care about fairness and how Mexican Americans are treated.

As evidence,”Then if you pay for it, Martha, it’s not a scholarship jacket, is it?”

As 用错了。这是应为学神先用中文去想一个句子,然后就翻译到英文。100%不要这样。你可以先先内容。可是写内容的时候,英文管英文,中文管中文。

请看一下As 英文怎么用的:

As (preposition) – the role of

ex: My daughter dressed up [as a monster]. Baking soda can be used [as a detergent]. I work for Penguin Education [as an English Teacher].

As (Adverb)

I am not (as) fast as you.
This burger is not (as) good.
Come here (as) soon as possible.
This pie is not [as good] [as my mother’s].

clause + as + clause
ex:
It started to snow [as] we slept.

as + clause, clause
ex:
[As] we slept, it started to snow.

我建议你可以这样写:

They both showed their staunch belief in fairness when Grandpa explained to Martha that using money to buy a prize is not fair. He wanted Martha to achieve through effort and fairness. We can see this clearly when he said ”Then if you pay for it, Martha, it’s not a scholarship jacket, is it?”

This shows that Grandpa wants Martha to have fairness when there is something she is worried about.

太宽泛。要更具体。我们需要更多细节。展示,而不是讲述。

The next quote proves this as well”over the next few months

还是太宽泛了。你需要解释这句话是如何证明的。

Mr. Mendez and Mr.Marcus traveled all over orange country

“This proves that Mr.Mendez want fairness when it’s about
his children’s education.“

引文的佐证细节非常薄弱。

compare and contrast thesis

ref – https://www.grammarly.com/blog/thesis-statement/

A Thesis requires:

  • decisive language
  • specific details
  • subtopics

How to structure a compare-and-contrast essay

The hardest part of structuring a compare-and-contrast essay is knowing when to talk about which subject. Essentially, you have three options:

block method (subject by subject): You discuss one subject in full and then move on to the next subject.

example – http://www.essaybyexample.com/free-essay-samples/essay-melville-moby-dick-poe-the-raven-comparative.php

The block method is usually divided into paragraphs:

a paragraph about one subject and then a new paragraph about another subject.

Take the compare-and-contrast essay example When Nothing Lies Beyond the Mask: Comparing Moby Dick and The Raven. In the first paragraph after the introduction, the author talks only about Ahab from Moby Dick, but in the next paragraph talks only about the narrator from The Raven. Each subject gets its own paragraph.

Using the block method, you can go back and forth like this for pages, covering as many topics as you need.
This approach is best for giving each subject its own attention

but tends to slightly weaken the connection between the two.

alternating method (point by point):

example – http://www.essaybyexample.com/free-essay-samples/essay-comparative-scifi-novels-movies.php

You discuss one subject’s take on a certain aspect and then another subject’s take immediately afterward, followed by a new aspect.

As another option, you can break paragraphs up by a specific topic and issue, and in each paragraph discuss both or all subjects. Let’s look at another compare-and-contrast essay example, The Reality of Science Fiction: Comparing Clarke to Cruise. Here, both subjects are discussed in the same paragraph, one right after another.

This approach works best when you want to emphasize the connection between your subjects, or lack thereof. In our example above, the author wishes to highlight just how different the aliens of Arthur Clarke are from those of other authors, particularly H. G. Wells. To emphasize this, the essay author juxtaposes the two points right next to each other in the same paragraph.

similarities and differences

ref – http://www.essaybyexample.com/free-essay-samples/essay-orwell-1984-zamyatin-we-comparative.php

You discuss all the similarities between your subjects and then all the differences, or vice versa (differences first and then similarities).

The third option is quite similar to the alternating approach, with each subject being discussed side by side in the same paragraph. However, the paragraphs aren’t divided by different topics, but instead by what the subjects have in common and what they don’t.

Take a look at the compare-and-contrast essay example Government by the People, for the People has Perished from the Earth, which compares the dystopias of George Orwell’s 1984 and Yevgeny Zamyatin’s We. The first paragraph after the introduction discusses what the governments in the two books have in common, but the next paragraph explains how they differ.

This method works best if you want to focus on a particular similarity or difference between your subjects, or if you want to build up to a powerful conclusion or reveal at the end.
