Hello!
How are you? Here are some basic notes about formatting sentences and paragraphs (文書、段落をフォーマットして), plus some rules about writing names of people, places, companies and other organizations (such as universities or research institutes), books, and research articles in English.
First, for my English Expression 4 Friday 1st period students - if you need a review about the mid-term writing assignment, go to this link here. Here below are the board notes for the EE4 Friday 1st period class on 10/18:
English Expression 4 Friday 1st period 10/18:
1. Sentences & paragraph formatting
My life at university is good.I have made many friends here. The classes are hard.So far I enjoy this school. Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak founded Apple
Computers.They founded it in 1976. Their first product was the Apple I
computer.
Please format and connect your sentences within paragraphs to make longer statements. For example:
My life at university is good. I have made many friends here. The classes are hard. So far I enjoy this school. —> My life at university is good and I have made many friends here. The classes are hard, but so far I enjoy this school.
Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak founded Apple Computers. They founded it in 1976. Their first product was the Apple I computer. —> Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak founded Apple Computers in 1976, and their first product was the Apple I computer.
2. Names of people, places, companies & organizations
albert einstein Albert Einstein
steve JOBS Steve Jobs
Son masayoshi Son Masayoshi
Names of places are not in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS, or with "quotes" around the names. For example:
I went to "Kurihama beach" in August.
The Apple headquarters are located in CUPERTINO,
California.
Full names of companies and organizations are natural, not in CAPITAL LETTERS or in "quotes," and if there is more than one part to their names, the most important parts of the names each have capitalized first letters.
But famous companies, organizations, and institutions can be known by their initials. For example:
NINTENDO was originally known for making playing
cards.
Some people think of the
"Tokyo Institute of technology" as the Massachusetts institute
of Technology of Japan.
Thomas Kuhn's "The Structure of scientific
revolutions" was influential in thinking differently about
scientific progress in many countries.
Einstein's paper The field equations of
Gravitation was one of the works that led to his general theory of relativity.
