Anyone can help me with this research?My lecturer want it to be 7-10 pages.Who can give me some idea?
Argument for Global Warming, need some ideas
What is your thesis statement or topic? What position are you taking? Once you have a thesis statement to narrow down your scope, research will be easier.
Actually I'm a student in Malaysia.I just started College Composition for few days.I don't really understand the terms of thesis statement or topic.Mind to help me?
Sure! :)
A thesis statement is just like a topic sentence, main idea, or introduction. Basically it sums up what you are going to write about in one sentence. What do you want to discuss in your paper?

Humans were to be blame for global warming.Is it okay?I read a few forum and one of it also involve global warming argument.I took that idea.Something about for millennia,humans have treated Earth as a never ending resource...something like that.
OK, that's a great source. Are you to write a research paper or a personal opinion paper? Depending on the style your introduction/thesis will change. For an opinion piece, you could do something like, "I believe that humans are to blame for the phenomenon known as global warming." If it is a research piece you could change it to "Research from state research publication has shown that global warming is caused, in whole or in part by human beings."
Something to that effect.
Something to that effect.
I see.There's a difference between that 2?My lecturer didn't tell me briefly whether it's a research or opinion.But it's a research paper.Does it mean I should concentrate on research?My lecturer also said that my introduction must be 2 pages.
Yes, there is :)
OK, a research paper is going to be scientific in nature. It needs to be based on scientific facts and research. Every statement that you make should have a credible cited resource behind it so that your essay is strong and credible. I suggest you begin searching magazines and scientific journals at your media center or online for research related to human impact on global warming. Contact your media center or your academic advisor for additional research resources.

I see.So what should i write for the 2 pages long?Effects?
Well, you could give a brief description of the different effects humans have for the introduction. You can outline what you will talk about and how your research supports the items you will discuss. You just don't want to get into too many details right off.
I already done the introduction but I don't think it's a good one.It's almost 2 page too.What should I do?I think I've added some unneccesary information.
Here is my thesis.It's not very good though.Hope madam can help me on this.If there's any correction please tell me.I hope to impress my lecturer so if there's any additional information I can add please tell.
For millennia, humans have treated the Earth as a never ending resource, to be utilized and squandered at will. They never cared about the changes or more specifically, the damage they have caused towards the environment by destroying trees, ruin surface of the earth which used to be a beautiful view and were proud by all human beings.

"For millennia, humans have treated the Earth as a never ending resource, to be utilized and squandered at will. They never cared about the changes, or more specifically, the damage they have caused towards the environment by destroying trees, ruining surfaces of the earth which used to be a beautiful view and were the pride of all human beings. Recent years have shown that there is a price to be paid for the hubris, and the prospect of catastrophic results from global warming have the Earth's human inhabitants scrambling to make amends before it is too late. Global warming has caused a gradual increase of average annual temperature of the Earth's atmosphere and the great oceans . The increase of temperatureshave a chain reaction such as glacial retreat, raising sea level, Arctic shrinkage, extreme weather events such as hurricanes , major floods , droughts, associated landslides, storms, ocean and coastal surges, heat waves, and cold snaps. An expedition by Canadian military and researchers has found a new large split in arctic glaciers to the n orth from Canada is the key index of global warming. Such effectsfrom global warming has caused a lot of terrifying devastation and unwanted casualties. Who is to be blamed? Humans were the cause of this problem. (Says who? Cite your research here.) They are the ones who started this catastrophic problem and now, they tend to solve this problem and amend for their doing. While the cure is neither quick nor certain, there were things which people can do to diminish their contribution to the problem of their carbon footprint on the Earth, and perhaps even reverse the damage which has been done. At first, it looks like there was progress when they initiate or commence the ways to solve global warming issue but after some time, they continue to ignore this catastrophic issue as though ignorance is bliss. Such irresponsible and selfish acts will not only help solve the problem but only will accelerate global warming effects . Global warming will not only cause impacts onenvironment. Other aspects such as economic, social, political, and health risks must be taken into account as these aspects will be involved due to global warming. If all these aspects were to be jeopardized; sooner or later planet Earth will be in the state of chaos. Other than that, some people completely denied that it was not their fault that global warming happened but it was due to natural climate change. Such people include Sarah Palin, who used to be a runner-up Miss Beauty in Alaska, b ut recently beca me famous in politics as the youngest g overnor at the age of 42. She stated that global warming was not the act of humansbut were instead a natural climate change recently in a press conference in Alaska. Still researchers have come to a conclusion that unregulated exhaust gas emissions to the atmosphere is the work of irresponsible behavior human beings has become the reasons of the constant climate change that will change our planet. The danger of global ecocatastrophe is acknowledged by the government and people of developed countries of the world. The struggle of life saving of our civilization becomes more and more popular.This is a confusing statement; please clarify. The popularity only lasts a while. This is because humans have to stop contributing and cooperate to stop the global warming. To save this situation, humans should start thinking seriously about the future of our planet if global warming what? Finish this statement . Not to mention the future of human life, the future of the next generation, and the future of other living thing is on the verge of oblivion and extinction."
You've got a good introduction here. You should cite a little more thoroughly your research sources so that your paper is credible right from the beginning. There are some confusing points that could use some clarification, and quite a bit of spelling/grammatical errors. This is a good start.

Wow!Never thought I got so many mistakes.Thank you.XDI'm quite confuse on how to make it more credible.Can give me some example?
You're welcome.
The more professional research resources you openly cite in your paper will make it more credible. For instance, a statement such as "According to Such-and-Such institute, such-and-such has happened." For you, the more studies you can find and cite in the paper in regards to how humans have caused global warming the more substantial your paper will be. If your research is good your readers will know that your paper is trustworthy as well.

Miss Gloria,How should I start my first topic sentence?
Miss Gloria,How should I start my first topic sentence?
Thank you :)
As far as starting your topic sentence, it should be something that gives a very broad glimpse at what you will be writing about. It should also be catchy enough to get your reader interested without giving them too much information right away. I hope this helps.

Hmm, i think I'll think of something.By the mean time,I know this is a essay forum,but since you checked my grammar,I think myEnglish isn't that good after all.Mind to teach me?Like when to put was or were,don't or doesn't and when to put a s?
Good afternoon.
Absolutely.
The "rules" for was are pretty simple. It is used when speaking in singular past terms. For example, "I was going to the store." "He was reading when the phone rang." "Gladys was very happy." "Everyone was running."
As for were, it is also used when speaking about the past, but in plural terms. For instance, "We were going to the movies." "They were on their way to class." Here's one that uses bothwas and were: "It was us that were causing the trouble." This is because the subject (us) is plural even though the action (causing) is singular.
As for the contractions, they should not be used in formal academic writing; it is improper and you will get counted off for it. You may use "do not" and "does not," and these "rules" are much like those for was and were:
Do not is used for present tense singular or plural subjects. For instance, "I do not like this at all." "We do not want to go there." "They do not go out at night." Does not is one that can be used for present tense, singular subject. "She does not do her homework early." "Annette does not go to that restaurant." "Teddy does not work here anymore." It is usually used in reference to something that is currently accurate even if the conversation or context of its use is in the past.
"S" can become very tricky. It is added to singular forms of some words to make them plural. "Walk" becomes "walks," "run" becomes "runs," "act" becomes "acts." The singular "s" is added to the end of words that end in most consonants, with the exceptions of letters such as "x," "h," and "s." For those words "es" is added to the end. For example, "hex" becomes "hexes," "grass" becomes "grasses," and "couch" becomes "couches."
Then, there is the apostrophe "s"s. Those can get very complicated. When an object is owned by your subject, you add an apostrophe and an "s." For example, it is "Alex's house," "Chester's car," and "Dezie's party." If the name/title of the person ends in "s," generally the apostrophe is just added. For example, "Jess' paper," "Tess' dinner," and "Mr. Ross' room." This is also used in cases where multiple people own something: "my parents' rules." Very rarely will you use an apostrophe "s" after a word that ends in "s"; this depends on ownership. For example, "it is the childrens's playground" meaning there are multiple children that own one playground.
This is by far not a comprehensive, extensive list, but more of a guideline; remember that for every "rule" in English there is an exception. I hope this helps a bit.

It helps a lot! Thank you Miss Gloria. I hope it helps in my mid term exam. One of my high school teacher taught me that english you just have to listen whether it's good or not. She never say anything about these kind of rules at all.
You're very welcome.
Your teacher is partially right; in English (like any other native language) you will instinctively know if it sounds right or not. But, that doesn't really help you because it's not your first language! :)

Oh..but I like english.But looks like getting an A in examination was not enough after all.Still thank you Miss.Gloria.Through out this semester,there's lot of things I would need your help.Hope you won't be annoyed.
For the "s".when do I know when to put?Like "he walk or he walks?
It depends. You could put "She walks down the street" if you are writing in the present tense, or "I walk to the bus" when talking about yourself.
I suggest getting a Prentice Hall College Writer textbook. There are many out there in the series, and any of them would help you immensely. My personal favorite is the Prentice Hall Guide for College Writers Second Edition by Stephen Reid, but any of them will do. They are readily available, perhaps even at your local or campus library. There is detailed information in these books that would definitely help you with these types of questions.

MY GOD!!Today I got my first journal paper.I only got 5.5 out of 10!My lecturer thought I duplicate the answer from the internet.The title for the journal was The Story of an Hour.Luckily I told her I did not do that.Hope she will trust me.She said that if she proved I didn't do it,I may get 9 or 8.5 out of 10.LUCKY!!And it's all thanks to you for teaching the grammar.
This is why it is sssooooo important to properly cite the sources where you got your information in your paper. If all of your statements were properly cited she would have been able to locate the information easily and see that you did not plagiarize, only cited research. I hope next time goes better.
I need help....A lecturer for my Information Technology wants me to do a research paper about Impact of Computer on Society.He wants me to use the Harvard Referencing.Which I have to cite for more author about their opinion.I tried Google but it doesn't help.You have any idea?
Do you need help finding authors that have written about the impact of the computer on society? If so, try scholar.google.com and type in the sentence "the impact of the computer on society."
The first two bits brought up are:
J Weizenbaum - Science, 1972 - sciencemag.org
PN Edwards - Ann Arbor - www-personal.si.umich.edu
and there is much more.
If you need assistance with the Harvard style of referencing, type in "Harvard reference style examples" on the regular Google webpage. There are many universitites and websites that provide guidance and examples of this style; it is very popular, so there is a lot of information.

Nice try. If you want to know the effects of global warming, go and do some research. The Internet is a wonderful tool, and if that fails, the libraries that people used for centuries before the Internet came along are still there, and chock full of information. Once you have put together a rough draft of your essay, or even research notes that are in your own words, feel free to post them here for some useful feedback.
Yeah, it really is just as easy to type "effects" "global warming" and "outline" into Google.
This site is not one of those sites where you can get free papers and avoid work. It's for people to collaborate sincerely, and work hard. However, just because someone posts a terse request for an outline does not mean they are trying to shirk their course work. Try googling the stuff I wrote above, and then write an outline in your own words. Tell us about the assignment and we can try to help you make it great!

Wikipedia, the great overmind and emergent world-god, says that "Expository writing is a type of writing, the purpose of which is to inform, explain, describe, or define the author's subject to the reader." A research paper would therefore be a type of expository writing.
