Дүн

Шалгалтын дүнгээ вэбэд орохоор нь мес-ээр ирүүлээрэй, харъя

****************************************************

Дүнгээ гаргахдаа:
- Essay оруулсан хугацаа, өөрийн утга санааг цэгцтэй илэрхийлсэн байдал
- Ирц, хичээлд оролцсон байдал, идэвх, хамгийн эхний өдрийн хичээлийн speaking ("First impression is lasting")
- Блогт хугацаандаа даалгавраа хийсэн эсэх, "эргэх холбоо" - хичээлийг ойлгосоноо илэрхийлсэн байдал,
- Presentation-ы агуулга, сэдвийн хүнд хөнгөн байдал, багаар ажиллах чадвартай эсэх, оролцоо, хамгийн гол нь ярих чадвар, өөрийгөө ойлгуулж илэрхийлэх чадвар г.м олон зүйлсийг харж тооцсон болно.

************************************************************
Багшаас авсан оноог шалгалтын дүнгээр  баталж харуулах хэрэгтэй:
Ялангуяа даалгавраа цагт нь, өөрөө, бүрэн хийсэн бол онооны харьцаа ийм байна гэсэн үг. 
70 авсан бол - шалгалтаас 30 авах ёстой бол 62 хэд авах вэ?
62x30=1860  ;  1860 : 70 = 26.5  буюу   70 = 30  /  62 = 26 авах ёстой байна.

 ************************************************************
30 онооны шалгалтын дараа харьцааг бодож үзэх болно, дүнгээ ирүүлээрэй.

Цаашид англи хэлээ ингэж сэргээж үзсэн дээрээ тулгуурлаад өдөр бүр өөртөө жаахан цаг гаргаж давтаад хэвшээрэй! Үр дүнд хүрнэ шүү

Хүснэгт

Улирлын эхэнд өгсөн анхааруулгыг дахин сануулья:
- Хичээл таслахад багш их дургүй ! Багшийг, хичээлээ, сурья гэсэн өөрийн сонголтоо, оюутан гэсэн нэр төрөө хүндлэхгүй байна гэж үздэг.
- Даалгавраа өөрөө гүйцэд хийхгүй байхад бас дургүй. Хэлний хичээлийг  үнэхээр сурья гэж бодвол биеэ дааж ӨДӨР БҮР цаг гаргаж давтах хэрэгтэй.
- Дүнгээ голсон оюутан өөрийгөө хичээлд хэр оролцсон, даалгаврыг хэр чанартай сэтгэл гаргаж хийснээ эргэж харах хэрэгтэй.

Four Major Types of Essays



1. Narrative Essays: Telling a Story
In a narrative essay, the writer tells a story about a real-life experience. While telling a story may sound easy to do, the narrative essay challenges students to think and write about themselves. When writing a narrative essay, writers should try to involve the reader by making the story as vivid as possible. The fact that narrative essays are usually written in the first person helps engage the reader. “I” sentences give readers a feeling of being part of the story. A well-crafted narrative essay will also build towards drawing a conclusion or making a personal statement.    (- "It's me")
2. Descriptive Essays: Painting a Picture
A cousin of the narrative essay, a descriptive essay paints a picture with words. A writer might describe a person, place, object, or even memory of special significance. However, this type of essay is not description for description’s sake. The descriptive essay strives to communicate a deeper meaning through the description. In a descriptive essay, the writer should show, not tell, through the use of colorful words and sensory details. The best descriptive essays appeal to the reader’s emotions, with a result that is highly evocative.
3. Expository Essays: Just the Facts
The expository essay is an informative piece of writing that presents a balanced analysis of a topic. In an expository essay, the writer explains or defines a topic, using facts, statistics, and examples. Expository writing encompasses a wide range of essay variations, such as the comparison and contrast essay, the cause and effect essay, and the “how to” or process essay. Because expository essays are based on facts and not personal feelings, writers don’t reveal their emotions or write in the first person.
4. Persuasive Essays: Convince Me   (- "Proposal of a student lounge")
While like an expository essay in its presentation of facts, the goal of the persuasive essay is to convince the reader to accept the writer’s point of view or recommendation. The writer must build a case using facts and logic, as well as examples, expert opinion, and sound reasoning. The writer should present all sides of the argument, but must be able to communicate clearly and without equivocation why a certain position is correct.

    http://www.grammar-monster.com/glossary/noun_phrases.htm

    Examples of Noun Phrases

    Noun phrases are extremely common.
    A noun with any sort of modifier (including just a number or an article) is a noun phrase.
    Here are some examples of noun phrases:

    S + V + O           
    S(device) + V (is) + O / Subject complement ( mirror )
    • The best car safety device is a rear-view mirror with a cop in it. (Dudley Moore, 1935-2002)
        (In this example, the first noun phrase is the subject, and the second is a subject complement.) 

      •  The best defense against the atom bomb is not to be there when it goes off. (Anon)
    • (In this example, there is a noun phrase within a noun phrase. The noun phrase the atom bomb is the object of the preposition against. The prepositional phrase against the atom bomb modifies defense.)

    • I don't have a bank account, because I don't know my mother's maiden name. (Paula Poundstone)
      (In this example, both noun phrases are direct objects.)


    • Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former. (Albert Einstein, 1879-1955)
