Make sure you review the following in order to prepare for the quiz: 1. essay structure 2. direct and second-hand quotations 3. how to make a summary If you cannot attend the test, you must contact me no later than Tuesday evening before 9:00pm.

I think that the specific things we need to pay attention is: including intext citation, giving specific information and writing paragraph not too long.

The three points that I need to pay attention to before I start writing the body paragraphs are: using Italics for titles of the sources, making sure whether or not I need an in-text citation for the sentence that I write and not quoting an entire paragraph and paraphrasing it.

I think the first point I need to remember before we write our body paragraph 2 and 3 is not to make careless mistakes. For example, I made tense and preposition mistakes. I have often made this kind of mistakes since I was a junior and senior high school student, so I will keep this in mind when I write my body paragraphs.

The first thing I need to pay attention to before writing body paragraph 2 and 3 is to include paragraph number after the quote. In paragraph 1, I forgot to include paragraph number after the quote because I was paying attention only to include quote in essay. It might be a little thing but the little thing makes your essay better.

The first thing that I have to be careful is not to make grammatical mistakes as I mentioned in the last blog post. Although I tried not to make grammatical mistakes, I had a lot this time too. I think I had many phrase mistakes, so I also should be be careful for that.

What I have to be careful in my two other body paragraphs is to put more information in them.

The most important thing that I completely forgot about was to add quotes to my paragraphs. To start with my first problem, I should have found a better source, because on my sources, it is hard to find good quotes.

Or thing I need to pay attention to before I start writing my second and third paragraph is to use italics for the title of bands. I think it is easy to forget to use italics because I usually don't issue that form when I write my favorite bands' names. But since this is an essay, I should remember and must use the correct form.

The first thing I have to remember is to use 3rd persons point of view. I explained about my topic in a 1st persons point of view, so I have to be careful about that.

One of the specific thing that I have to pay attention to while writing the body paragraphs is the form to put in use cite sources. In the first paragraph, I made a mistake on putting in cite sources. I will check how to put in the cite source again.

The three specific things I have to pay attention before writing paragraphs 2 and 3 are: give more information, write all the information I want to say within the word limit, and use correct word choices.

The first thing I need to remember before writing body paragraph is to include specific examples. My first paragraph turned out to be too general without it and were also unconvincing.
