Interesting, Disappointment and Familiarity.

We're back to regular classes after one week of exam. Reporter discusses to us the topic Concept Paper and Elucidating a Concept. It was an interesting topic I must say but I had a hard time understanding the first part of the lesson because my mind was occupied with something else.

Thesis statement vs topic sentence

The difference between thesis statement and topic sentence can be identified through the questions where, what and why. Where is it located? What's in it?

It was easy to understand as it somewhat serves as a recap due to its familiarity. As we go through the topic, I got to learn the different examples of an academic text, such as, the research paper, concept paper, articles and many more. We also learned the nature of academic text and how important it is to know these natures to have the right composition of an academic text. We also got introduced to non- academic text that is way opposite to an academic text. We got to know the different characteristics of non-academic text and academic text that clearly shows the difference between the two. Even with its familiarity it is still a fun topic to learn. I got to refresh my mind with some known terms.  I was thrilled at the way we differentiate the different academic words to normal words. It sent me back to ...
