Chapter-3

Personal reaction:

At first, I felt that the ideas given by the writer in this chapter were easy to understand. I learned the steps of writing essays in my previous classes, but this chapter made it more clear. It mentioned that finding the main hints, main ideas, and key factors are very essential while we are writing essays. This chapter gave me the idea of recognizing the patterns of writing. It also helps me to understand the importance of  formal outlines in making the essay stronger. Another thing is that sometimes I make a lot of mistakes in the introduction part, but this chapter has provided the relevant facts of what we should not do while writing an introduction. So, now I can improve my skills to write papers.  This chapter has provided brief information to develop writing skills. In overall, I learned lot of things in this chapter. I am so happy because this class has shown me more ways to learn and understand. I  will put my great effort to achieve my goal.

Professional reaction:

It is interesting chapter for an English learner with a lot of information, details, and examples. Here, the writer has stated all the steps of writing essays in chronological order. Firstly, the writer has explained about introduction, in which he has discussed different ways of introduction patterns which will create the interest of readers. Secondly, the author has clearly mentioned that body paragraphs should be well organized and emphasize the thesis statement. I learned that the body paragraphs have to be detailed with examples, facts, quotes, and reasons. In that way, readers will easily understand the matter which the writer wants to express. Thirdly, author mentioned that in essays the conclusion is most essential part. Conclusions restate the thesis statement. Conclusions can also be the warning and suggestion to the readers. At last, the chapter concluded that formal outlines are a very important and easy way to create strong paper.
