In the last class, we learned how to write an academic essay. I kind of remember that he had similar lesson at the start up program a year ago, so this is good review time for me.

 Firstly, Rab taught us 5A for choosing topic. That is very useful information, because I always cannot chose my essay topic and decide what I will write about. I was surprised that we can choose anything we would like to write about. After choosing a topic, we connect it to academic issue. Moreover, I tend to think that is this topic academic or not, but I noticed that I also have to consider about other 4As (Attractive, Argumetative, Access, Achivable.)  Secondly, we leaned about Rule of 3. Rab told us how long and how may sentences should be in each paragraph, so now I see the structure of a 5 paragraph essay more clearly. Finally, he talked about how to make title. I knew that title is very important part of the essay, bad I also knew that I am bad at it.

 Through whole class, Rab's examples are very helpful to understand each theory. Now I have an idea of how my essay should looks like. However, wrting essay might be hard work for me, but this idea maybe help me a lot while writing.
