Welcome to English for Academic Writing ^_^
In this subject, we are going to learn about grammar specifically things related to structure and written expression that we usually find in TOEFL test. Besides, we will also learn about how to describe a picture and how to state our opinion in a free writing.
There will be 14 meetings in this semester, consisting synchronous and asynchronous meetings. Your final mark (score) will be determined by several aspects such as assessment, assignment, and daily participation. Your attendance presentage will not be considered as a significant aspect in giving mark. Thus, you have to actively do all task given by your lecturers in daily (every meeting) basis.
The main material that we use
during this semester is a book from Deborah Philips and a book written by English Lecturers of UNISA that is English for Academic Writing
Happy learning everybodiieeeh.... ^_^

In today's lesson, we are going to learn skill 4 in structure and written expression part of TOEFL test.
Please learn the following materials and do the quizzes.
Past participles can cause confusion in the Structure section of the TOEFL test because a past participle can be either an adjective or a part of the verb. The past participle is the form of the verb that appears with have or be. It often ends in -ed, but there are also many irregular past participles in English.
The classes were taught by Professor Smith.

When you have two clauses in an English sentence, you must connect the two clauses correctly. One way to connect two clauses is to use and, but, or, so, or yet between the clauses.
Tom is singing, and Paul is dancing.
Tom is tall, but Paul is short.
Tom must write the letter, or Paul will do it.
Tom told a joke, so Paul laughed.
Tom is tired, yet he is not going to sleep.In each of these examples, there are two clauses that are correctly joined with a coordinate conjunction and, but, or, so, or yet, and a comma (,).
Please see the video below
Sentences with adverb clauses have two basic patterns in English. Study the clauses and connectors in the following sentences:
I will sign the check before you leave.
Before you leave, I will sign the check.
Adverb clauses can express the ideas of time and cause, as you saw in Skill 7; adverb clauses can also express a number of other ideas, such as contrast, condition, manner, and place. Because these clauses are adverb clauses, they have the same structure as the time and cause clauses in Skill 7. Study the following examples:
I will leave at 7:00 if I am ready.
Although I was late, I managed to catch the train.
In each of these examples, there are two clauses that are correctly joined with adverb connectors. In the first sentence the adverb condition connector if comes in the middle of the sentence. In the second sentence the adverb contrast connector although comes at the beginning of the`sentence, and a comma (,) is used in the middle of the sentence.
