Today we didn't have much time to discuss our reasearch topics, but instead we learned about writing an essay. Since I have never learned how and the basic rules to write an academic essay before coming to ICU, I was thinking that it would be too formal to get bored reading and also difficult to write. Even though I had such images, Rab's detailed explanation was easy to understand, with the banana and Toyota examples. I learned two important things. One thing is that each part in paragraphs has its role and reasons, which was also written in Meiland text. Second thing is that you need to catch the reader's attention also in an academic essay, without caring about grammer rules because the reader, especially the teacher, gets uninterested if the title and introduction are not eye-catching.
When we start writing our first essays, I will try to write following the notes I took today in class.
But first of all, I need to rethink and decide my research question.......
