Dear students, today we're going to learn how to write an article in English. One

2
00:00:06,759 --> 00:00:11,099
of the most important things in an article is to have an eye-catching title

3
00:00:11,099 --> 00:00:15,080
that will make the reader want to read more. Introduce the topic in an

4
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:19,440
attractive way to make the reader want to read more. You can also ask a question

5
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:24,160
that can be answered along the article. Usually, most commonly, we do this

6
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:29,879
towards the end. Then comes the main body. In the main body we're going to develop

7
00:00:29,879 --> 00:00:35,880
the different ideas. I recommend always starting a new paragraph when a new idea comes along.

8
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:43,000
In this example, you have the positive aspects of living in the country. The next paragraph

9
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:50,200
will deal with the positive aspects of living in the city. Last but not least, write a conclusion.

10
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:55,399
Make it interesting and also make it personal by giving your opinion and taking sides.

11
00:00:55,399 --> 00:00:59,719
you may include a question to make the reader think about what they've just read

12
00:01:01,159 --> 00:01:07,319
what about style style should be informal and lively remember the magazines are addressed at

13
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:13,640
a wider public all articles must contain some descriptive writing because they are subjective

14
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:20,200
so you may have to describe people places objects changes feelings etc so you should include a

15
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:27,459
variety of vocabulary like for example adverbs adjectives and because you're

16
00:01:27,459 --> 00:01:31,659
most likely writing for an exam more specific vocabulary rather than vague

17
00:01:31,659 --> 00:01:37,900
words like people or things but not all articles are informal for more serious

18
00:01:37,900 --> 00:01:41,420
articles you will need to use discussative writing which is a type of

19
00:01:41,420 --> 00:01:47,079
writing you use in an essay or formal letter so the type of language that you

20
00:01:47,079 --> 00:01:50,620
need is more serious and you will also need to include linking words and

21
00:01:50,620 --> 00:01:57,359
phrases as well as expressions which will help you to explain, analyze, show

22
00:01:57,359 --> 00:02:05,680
cause and effect, suggest, compare or contrast. Check these examples. And that's

23
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:12,979
all about writing an article in English for SC1 exam. Thanks for watching!
