The indefinite article is a or an.

But how do we know when to say a and when to say an?

The rule is really very simple. It depends on the sound at the start of the following word. (It does

not depend on the way we write the following word, it depends on the way we say it.)

a + consonant sound

If the following word starts with a consonant sound, then we say a:


• a cat
• a game of golf
• a human emotion
• a Peruvian
• a very nice lady
an + vowel sound

If the following word starts with a vowel sound, then we say an:

• an apple
• an easy job
• an interesting film
• an old man
• an umbrella
The Importance of Sound
Normally, we pronounce consonant letters with a consonant sound, and vowel letters with a
vowel sound. But there are some exceptions. The rule about a or an is still the same. You
just need to think about the sound, not the writing. Look at these examples:

vowel letter but consonant sound consonant letter but vowel sound

you-ro-pe-
a European country an honest man on-est

a one-day conference won-day

THE PERIOD
RULES:

Use a period AT THE END OF A SENTENCE.

• She is here.
• The people who were waiting for you outside are here.
Use a period at the end of a command.

• Hand in the poster essays no later than noon on Friday.


• In case of tremors, leave the building immediately.

Use a period at the end of an indirect question.

• The teacher asked why Maria had left out the easy exercises.
• My father used to wonder why Egbert's ears were so big.

Use a period with abbreviations:

Dr. Espinoza arrived from Washington, D.C., at 6 p.m.

Notice that when the period ending the abbreviation comes at the end of a sentence, it will also
suffice to end the sentence. On the other hand, when an abbreviation ends a question or exclamation, it
is appropriate to add a question mark or exclamation mark after the abbreviation-ending period:

Did you enjoy living in Washington, D.C.?

Occasionally, a statement will end with a question. When that happens, it is appropriate to end the
sentence with a question mark.

• We can get to Boston quicker, can't we, if we take the interstate?


• His question was, can we end this statement with a question mark?
• She ended her remarks with a resounding why not?
PRACTICE
1. WE ARE WORKING ON THE TOPIC SENTENCE
In this part ,you will write the most suitable topic sentence for the paragraph below.

I like all the seasons of the year and my favorite us autumn.


I love the autumn weather.The weather has a moderate temprature. It is never exceedingly hot or
cold.Therefore,you can spend time outside without sweating too much.Also,I love the way the trees turn
to color.They change from green to yellow,red and orange.When leaves change color,from green to
yellow,orange and red,you can understand trees are beginning their long winter’s rest.As a last thing I
also like autumn because school starts.I get excited when I think about going back to school and seeing
my teachers and friends again. To sum up,autumn is a time of great season with its weather,color of the
trees and school season.
There are a lot of celebrations in the world, all are different and special.They sometimes express this
with their words and sometimes with concrete things.In most cases,the best way to do that is giving a
gift to that person.However,this trend has different meaning in Malaysia and Paraguay disapprove of
giving gifts because they may consider it to be bribe.In Malaysia ,you can’t give a gift if you don’t have
a personal relationship with that person. Yet, in some countries like Japan,Indonesia and the
Philippines,exchanging gifts is related to tradition.It is important for them to give gifts to each
other.When someone decides to show his/her respect or love for someone with a present,he/she has
to consider where this person comes from.

1. WE ARE WORKING ON THE SUPPORTING IDEA


In this part,you will write the most suitable supporting sentence for the paragraph below.

In my opinion ,children should grow up in the big city for three reasons.
In the big cities children have more opportunities to study and in the future, they can working
in that. For example, when I was a child ,I used to live in a big apartment ,so I had many friends
in my apartment. The second reason why children should grow up in the city is that children
can gain more cultural experience. City children go to the museums ,theaters and cinemas. In
addition ,they have a better opportunity to see movies, shows and other kinds of
entertainment.In the countryside, there are not cinemas,theaters,museums,so children who
grow up there may not have the opportunity to enjoy these experiences.The third reason
is,there are more opportunities for city children to involve in activities.For example,city children
can join sports teams,dance classes or take an art course after school because there are many
such programs in a big city for children of all ages.In conclusion,the city is the best place a child
to grow up.

1. WE ARE WORKING ON CONCLUSION


In this part,you will write the most suitable concluding sentence for the paragraph below.

A good nurse has a lot of resposibilities .Firstly ,she has to take care of the patients.
Her responsibilities include changing clothes, bathing them, giving medicine at a definite
time.Moreover,she has to help whenever a patient calls her.Also, she is in charge of helping the patients’
walk and making their beds.She has to answer the telephone and she also carries the message to the
patients. Briefly, they are people that help to others and put all your heart in it.

How To Write Good Paragraphs


A good paragraph is a mini-essay. It should demonstrate three components:

1. Introduction, i.e., a topic sentence


2. Body, i.e., supporting details
3. Conclusion or a transitional sentence to the paragraph that follows.
A good paragraph is characterized by unity, coherence, and adequate development.

Unity:
State the main idea of the paragraph in a clearly constructed topic sentence. Make sure each sentence is
related to the central thought.

Coherence:
Arrange ideas in a clear, logical order. Provide appropriate transitions to the subsequent paragraph.

Adequate development:
Develop your paragraphs with specific details and examples.

Strategies for adequate development:

Elaborate:
Spell out the details by defining, or by clarifying and adding relevant, pertinent information.

Illustrate:
Paint a verbal picture that helps make or clarify your point(s). Well illustrated pieces are easier to read
and follow than those on a high level of abstraction.

Argue:
Give the reasons, justifications, and rationales for the position or view you have taken in the topic
sentence. Draw inferences for the reader and explain the significance of assertions or claims being
made.

Narrate:
Relate the historical development of the phenomenon at issue.

Process:
Describe how something works.

Describe:
Observe without preconceived categories.

Classify:
Organize phenomena or ideas into larger categories that share common characteristics.

Analyze:
Divide phenomena or ideas into elements.

Compare and Contrast:


Show similarities and differences between two or more phenomena or ideas.

Relate:
Show correlations and causes (beware of logical fallacies, however!)

A paragraph should be neither too short nor too long. A good paragraph in a Trinity exercise should be
5-6 sentences long. As a general rule, avoid single-sentence paragraphs. If your paragraphs run longer
than a page, you are probably straining the grader’s thought span. Look for a logical place to make a
break or reorganize the material. Indent each new paragraph five spaces.

Free Time Activities

Follow this model of a paragraph about free time activities.

Write your own one.

FREE TIME ACTIVITIES


My number one interest is to play sports. I like tennis. Of course, I have two tennis
rackets and a tennis ball. Behind my house, there is a tennis court. In my free time, I like
to play tennis with my sister or my brother, but I sometimes play with my father because
he likes to play it very much. He says that tennis is a fashionable sport for young people
or old people. Besides playing sports, I go for a walk with my friends. We usually go for
a ride to remote villages to get fresh air and wonderful views in the countryside. I usually
don't have a lot of free time during the weekdays. However, I have a lot of spare time at
the weekend, and on Saturday and Sundays, there are good programmes on every channel,
so I sometimes watch them at home with some biscuits. I really enjoy my free time very
much.

Hobbies and interests

Mike's hobbies and interests

In the week, Mike likes to spend most of his free time at home. He is tired after work, and usually

relaxes in front of the TV for an hour. Sometimes, instead of watching TV, he likes to browse the

internet. He often reads the news on the internet, and about once or twice a week, he sends an email to

his family in Australia. Mike rarely sees his family because he lives in Ireland, which is too far away

from Australia to go very often.

Mike is also very musical. He enjoys playing the piano and the drums, but his favourite musical

instrument to play is the guitar. He plays the guitar in a band. They usually practise at weekends, at his

friend Paul's place. They used to practice in Paul's house, but his neighbours complained about the

noise, so now they always practise in the garage.


Angela's hobbies and interests

Angela is very active and loves the outdoors. Every morning, she goes jogging in the park near her

house. Then, she usually cycles to work. Occasionally, when the weather is bad, she takes the bus. She

does gymnastics once a week, on Thursday evenings. She really enjoys hiking, but she rarely does it,

because she works all week and is often too busy or tired at the weekends.

She likes to hike in the mountains. She always takes a backpack with her, with something to eat,

and some supplies inside. Sometimes she goes hiking with friends, and sometimes she goes alone. She

prefers to go with friends, but most of her friends don't like hiking as much as she does.

Daniel's hobbies and interests

Daniel is very artistic. In his free time, he enjoys painting and drawing. He prefers to paint portraits,

and he is very good at it. His paintings are often displayed at exhibitions. He also writes short stories

from time to time, but he prefers painting to writing. He has recently bought a camera, and is hoping

that photography will become one of his new hobbies.

One of Daniel's other hobbies is playing chess, which has nothing to do with art. He sometimes

plays chess at competitions, but he never wins. His friends tell him that he should stick to painting

portraits!

Judith's hobbies and interests

In her free time, Judith doesn't like to stay at home. She prefers to go out with her friends or family.

Most weekends, Judith and her friends go out drinking and dancing. Occasionally they eat out first, but

they don't do this very often because they don't like the same restaurants. Judith's friends often argue

about which restaurant to go to, but Judith doesn't mind where they go, as long as she is having fun.

Judith also likes going to the cinema, but her friends can't stand the kinds of films she likes, so they

never go with her. She sometimes goes with her sister, who doesn't mind the kinds of films Judith

likes.

Peter's hobbies and interests

Peter is quite sporty. He loves playing football, and he plays for a local team. He is very

competitive, and he can't stand losing a game.


Luckily, his team play very well, so they hardly ever lose. Peter also enjoys watching sport on TV,

especially football.

Peter's other hobbies are fishing and gardening. He finds these relaxing, unlike football. Peter and

his wife, Sarah, often do the gardening together. They often listen to the radio as they plant flowers

and pull out the weeds. Peter would like Sarah to go fishing with him too, but she hates fishing, so she

hardly ever goes with him.

Rory: Yeah, I can. I really like cooking. I love cooking Italian food. I also love baking. So I can
bake cakes and cookies and bread, stuff like that.
Abidemi: Okay.

Rory: How about singing? Can you sing?

Abidemi: I think I can sing. Yes, I enjoy singing. I love singing. I sing a lot in church, so I can
sing. What about you? Can you sing?

Rory: I can't sing at all. Like even when I go to karaoke, I'm too embarrassed to pick up the
microphone.

Abidemi: Oh, it's too bad. What about you, Rory, can you play – okay, can you play an
instrument?

Rory: I can't. No. I'd love to be able to play an instrument but I can't play anything. How about
you? Can you play an instrument?

Abidemi: No, I can't. I really wish that I had learned something when I was younger. But I say
I can play my voice. Ha, ha.

Rory: That's nice.

Abidemi: What about juggling? Can you juggle, Rory?

Rory: Yeah, I can juggle. I can juggle with three balls and I can almost juggle with four.

Abidemi: Wow.

Rory: Like I can do it for about 10 seconds. Yeah.

Abidemi: I can't juggle at all. So please teach me. It's always something that I've always
wanted – I wanted to learn.

Rory: Okay. Can you speak three languages?

Abidemi: Yes. I think I can speak three languages.

and I speak French as well. Yes.

And you?

Rory: Well, I can speak English and I can speak some Czech. I lived in the Czech Republic
for six years.
