Today, we will talk about the steps to write an ARTICLE.

For an ARTICLE, here are what you/your students need to know:

1. There is a FORMAT.

2. Use PRESENT TENSE. (in some cases, past tense form will be
required, however, if you are dealing with weak students, you
want to avoid it. Thus, the present tense approach)
3. UNDERSTAND step 4.

Times, 5 millions people have access to the internet.) bincang tentang

The Internet is a global network that connects millions of computer around the
world. It has changed the world rapidly in the past ten to twenty years. We use
the Internet very often in life because it is very convenient. We can get all the
information we want in a blink of an eye. According to the New Straight Times,
more than 190 countries in the world have access to the Internet now while
about 80% of the Malaysians have access to the Internet. There are many
advantages that we can get from the Internet. Among all, the three most
important advantages are to provide information, connect with other people,
and as a form of entertainment.

Step 4:  Connecting word + Main Point


After you have listed the advantages, now is the time to write your content. It is
important to use CONNECTING WORDS to help you arrange your thoughts and
ideas.

Use connecting words(Penandawacana):

First of all/Firstly/First and foremost -pertama sekali


Secondly – yang kedua

Next – seterusnya

Besides/other than that/not only that- selain itu
Also – dan juga
After that- selepas

Lastly/Last but not least/Finally- Akhirnya/Yang terakhir
In conclusion- kesimpulannya
*You must also remember this: 1 paragraph –> 1 main point
Here is how you can arrange your ideas:

Step 5:  Repeat step 4 for Main Point 2


Step 6:  Repeat step 4 for Main Point 3
Step 7:  If asked to add in one more main point (on your
own) – Repeat step 4 for Main Point 4
(if irrelevant, skip this step)

Step 8:  Conclusion
CONCLUSION is a summary of what you have written.

For weak students, conclusion is simply repeating what they write in the
INTRODUCTION with a little bit of changes.

The Internet is useful for all of us. We can get many benefits if we use it. As
discussed above, the Internet can provide us more information. It also helps
us to connect with many people like friends and family. Not only that, we can
use it as a form of entertainment. We should appreciate and make full use of
the Internet.

*Know that you should go ahead to write longer if you are able to. However, if
you think you are weak , start with shorter sentences for every step. You will still
be able to come up with something great!
