Sample Writing

Introduction

Hello everyone. I'm a senior high school student. Today I want to blog about something that I think is very important. Unfortunately, I know about this topic well because I made a silly mistake. That was to make my email password "password 123"!

Body

About six months ago, someone hacked my email account. That means they found out my password, then tried to use my account to take money from me and sent viruses to all my contacts! Luckily my friend told me when she got a strange email from me, so I changed my password immediately. I read about how to make a good password. A good one should have a mixture of both upper case (large capital) letters and lower case (small) letters, numbers, and other characters. It also should not be a name or date or anything someone can guess. It should be completely random, that is, it shouldn't make sense! Although it can be hard to remember lots of complicated passwords, it is worth it! These days you can also use a password manager. This is a special program that helps you manage passwords for all your different accounts.

Ending

Although I hope nothing similar has happened to my readers, please comment if you have had a similar experience or if you have any more good ideas about making your passwords super safe! Catch you later!

Students learn how to write.

Get the tips of writing.

Improve their fast-writing skill.

Step 8

Pair work

Exchange drafts. Assess each other's work according to the checklist.

Does the writer tell the reader what he/she knows about the topic?

Are the tips and suggestions well organised?

Has the writer defined the new words?

Does the author include examples, comparisons, or explanations?

Does the writer end by asking readers to leave comments and/or suggestions?

Can you find any grammar or spelling mistakes?

Get your draft back and revise it.

Use what they have learnt to check their partner’s writing.

Practice their writing and analysis skills.

Share their ideas and broaden their horizons.

Practice their team work sprit.
