Introduction

A Sketch of English Writing

Since you have finished a term’s study of English writing, I’d like to ask you three simple questions.
1. What’s English writing?
2. What’s your understanding and impression of this course?
(Have you benefited a lot from this course? Is it difficult to learn this course? How to improve your attitude toward writing?)
3. What’s the purpose/ aim/ objective of this course?
( to help students acquire writing awareness, idiomatic train of thought in writing, and appropriate writing skills.)
The course is not everything. You can’t count on it too much, hoping that after taking this lecture, you can own a magic pen, even to be a great writer. However, you can indeed grasp useful writing principles in theory. If you can make a lot of perseverant practice, you can be an expert in this field.
“Give you a fish, you’ll eat for a day; teach you to fish and you’ll eat for a life time.”
I’ll try to help you to find fish and the way of fishing.
I. About the text book
How to use the book? It’s good for autonomous study in that it contains examples, detailed explanation, tasks and keys to exercises with explanation. After class you are asked to preview each chapter and in class discuss problems related to the chapter.
More information will be offered in class, and more time will be left for practice.
II. My requirements
1. Keeping journals. Keeping journals in English will give you daily practice in expressing your own thoughts. Though it is quite usual to use incomplete and colloquial English in a journal, you’d better not do so; for your object is to practice writing rather than to keep the record itself.
2. Handing in your composition on time.
3. When you write your composition, work carefully, neatly and clearly. Try to make as few mistakes as possible.
III. My presents
1. “Practice makes perfect.”
Practice a lot can make you perfect in writing.
2. “Reading makes a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man.”
n —— Francis Bacon
Francis Bacon was one of the earliest English essayists, great philosopher. Of Bacon’s 58 essays, “Of Study” is one of the shortest but also one of the better known and the more widely read.
A full man: a man with a wide knowledge of things.
A ready man: a wise man who can deal with all kinds of occasions.
An exact man: a man who speaks and writes with accuracy.
Conference: consultation, conversation.

The Importance of Punctuation
Choices in punctuation can greatly affect meaning. Indeed if you mess with punctuation enough you can turn the meaning upside down:
1．下雨天留客天留我不留
2．从中学到大学都学不到的东西
3．世界上女人没有了男人就不能生活了
4． Eats shoots and leaves
5. An English teacher wrote these words on the whiteboard: "woman without her man is nothing". The teacher then asked the students to punctuate the words correctly.
6. dear john I want a man who knows what love is all about you are generous kind thoughtful people who are not like you admit to being useless and inferior you have ruined me for other men I yearn for you I have no feelings whatsoever when were apart I can be forever happy will you let me be yours Gloria

If you have ever wondered if punctuation is truly important, try reading a passage that does not have punctuation. It is nearly impossible to correctly figure out what the writer was trying to say. Punctuation tells us when one idea stops and another starts. It tells use who owns things and who said what. Punctuation helps us to understand what we are reading.
The most common mistake people tend to make while writing is in the use of Punctuation. Wrong punctuation can damage the flow of ideas and change meaning, but properly used punctuation not only helps readers understand your meaning but also makes them engrossed in your writing. The following discussion is about some of the frequently misused punctuation marks and what actually their correct application should be.
Punctuation helps readers break writing into logical units, making it easier to follow. Punctuation includes all the conventional signs used to separate words: spaces, first-line indentation of paragraphs, blank lines, uppercase letters, and various marks or stops （commas, periods, semicolons, and so on）. Punctuation is conventional rather than scientific, and has evolved over time. The earliest written languages, in fact, had no punctuation at all, writers just RANWORDSTOGETHERFORASLONGASTHEYCAREDTOWRITE （every so often a bold pioneer would introduce a reader-friendly innovation like LowerCaseLetters or spaces between words）.
In the modern world punctuation is an important thing to get right in formal writing. Readers of formal writing interpret punctuation mistakes as a sign of poor education or carelessness, and in either case tend to discount the work's validity.

Dear John,
I want a man who knows what love is all about. You are generous, kind, thoughtful. People who are not like you admit to being useless and inferior. You have ruined me for other men. I yearn for you. I have no feelings whatsoever when we're apart. I can be forever happy—will you let me be yours?
Gloria

Dear John,
I want a man who knows what love is. All about you are generous, kind, thoughtful people, who are not like you. Admit to being useless and inferior. You have ruined me. For other men, I yearn. For you, I have no feelings whatsoever. When we're apart, I can be forever happy. Will you let me be?
Yours,
Gloria

The men wrote: "Woman, without her man, is nothing."
The women wrote: "Woman! Without her, man is nothing."

The message center has several functions. As each of the knowledge sources feeds in information about the text being processed, the message center holds the information in a temporary store. Each of these knowledge sources may use the information provided by one or more other sources. For example, lexical knowledge may search for information about spelling patterns or there may be a check for information about syntax. Rumelhart states:

“The message center keeps a running list of hypotheses about the nature of the input string. Each knowledge source constantly scans the message center for the appearance of hypotheses relevant to its own sphere of knowledge.
Whenever such a hypothesis enters the message center, the knowledge source in question evaluates the hypothesis in light of its own specialized knowledge. As a result of its analysis, the hypothesis may be confirmed, disconfirmed and removed from the message center, or a new hypothesis can be added to the message center. This procedure continues until some decisions can be reached. At this point the most probable hypothesis is determined to be the right one.”
(1977:589-590)
By means of separate knowledge sources and the message center that permits these sources to communicate and interact with others, high-order stages are able to influence the processing of low-order stages. Thus, Rumelhart’s model is able to accommodate the occurrences known to take place while reading that the linear models have difficulty accommodating.
