To achieve this goal, students should choose  a certain topic and outline the body of paper of the topic, introduction and conclusion using list or mind mapping as mentioned by Stephen Bailey (2011). The students have to understand how to enact their critical thinking in this activity.

Material:

The material is about the processes on how the students identify and categorize the topic of the essay. then, the ways of how the students outline the essay based on the chosen topic. The materials also include the critical thinking questions.

Method:

teacher make the description of the material in her PPT. Then, the students practice the topic using the handbook of Stephen Bailey (2011) about academic writing 3rd edition. The students could ask the teacher about their difficulties in learning the topic by using this blog or other communication tool.

Description:

The 3rd topic of essay writing gives guidance for English students how to begin their academic writing. There are several ways used by the students to do the process of essay writing. First, the students have to realise that their ability of essay writing is not only a blessing but it needs practices. The students have to read more text types such as articles, journals, research report, etc if they want to write better. In reading activity, the students have to involve their critical thinking in order to develop their skills finding the formal vocabularies, complex sentences, and so on. The students should know what are the differences between facts and opinions while writing an academic essay to avoid personal judgement. They have to know the meaning and practice of plagiarism in order to make your ideas cited and referenced. Second, the students determine their topics after doing extensive reading. Then, they could outline their chosen topic by using list or mind mapping (see Bailey, 2011 p. 41) and develop it into a writing paper. To learn more about the process of determining and outlining the essay, you could see my PPT and get practice there.

    "The role social media plays in mental health"
    Human beings are social creatures. We need the companionship of others to thrive in life, and the strength of our connections has a huge impact on our mental health and happiness. Being socially connected to others can ease stress, anxiety, and depression, boost self-worth, provide comfort and joy, prevent loneliness, and even add years to your life. On the flip side, lacking strong social connections can pose a serious risk to your mental and emotional health.

    In today’s world, many of us rely on social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, YouTube, and Instagram to find and connect with each other. While each has its benefits, it’s important to remember that social media can never be a replacement for real-world human connection. It requires in-person contact with others to trigger the hormones that alleviate stress and make you feel happier, healthier, and more positive. Ironically for a technology that’s designed to bring people closer together, spending too much time engaging with social media can actually make you feel more lonely and isolated—and exacerbate mental health problems such as anxiety and depression.

    If you’re spending an excessive amount of time on social media and feelings of sadness, dissatisfaction, frustration, or loneliness are impacting your life, it may be time to re-examine your online habits and find a healthier balance.

    "The role social media plays in mental health"

    As the social creatures, actually we need the role and connection with others in our life. Because, if we can strength our connections, probably it has a positive impact for our mental health and happiness. Being socially connected with others can decrease the anxiety, stress, and depression, improve self-exercise, make us more comfortable and joy, avoid loneliness, and even prolong your age. On the other hand, the lack of social connections can cause a serious risk to your mental and emosional health.

    In this era, we can't separate our selves from media social platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and etc to get the relationship with others. Social media has a lot of benefits, and it's important to remember that social media can never be a substitute the real human-life. It needs in-person contact with others to trigger the hormones that alleviate stress and make you feel happier, healthier, and more positive. Ironically for a technology that's designed to make the people closed and spending a lot of time engaging with social media actually make you feel lonely and separate d or unconnected. And exacerbate mental health problems( make it worse than before) such as anxiety and depression.

    If you're spending an exaggerate amount of time on social media and feeling of sadness, dissatifaction, frustation, and loneliness are bringing a bad impact for your life, it maybe time to re-examine your online habits and do something normally in order to you can found the happiness and make your life more balance.

    "The solar fridge helping African entrepreneurs living off the grid"

    Keeping food fresh without refrigeration is near impossible in the scorching climate of sub-Saharan Africa. But it's hard to power fridges in a region where almost 600 million people live off the grid.

    That's where Brazil's Youmma comes in. The company has developed a pay-as-you-go solar-powered fridge that is being snapped up by small business owners. The fridges help to reduce food waste, store medication safely, and allow shops to keep products fresh for longer, says André Morriesen, research and development manager at Nidec Global Appliance, which owns Youmma.

    Of about 2,000 fridges sold since Youmma launched it in 2019, around 80% were to small businesses, he adds.

    "The solar fridge helping African entrepreneurs living off the grid"

    When the climate of sub-Saharan Africa arrived, there was a great need for refrigerators to keep food fresh. But unfortunately it is not easy to make the refrigerator cool because the area is outside the network.

    Youmma Brasil also played a role. A solar-powered refrigerator has been developed by a company. André Morriesen, research and development manager at Nidec Global Appliance, owner of Youmma, said that this refrigerator has many functions, of course, one of which is to keep products fresh.

    André Morriesen added that since Youmma was launched, around 80% of the proceeds from refrigerator sales have been used for small businesses.

    The former Saudi official's tweet expressing condolences over an activist's death seemed benign, but his mysterious disappearance soon afterwards highlighted what observers call the state's "digital authoritarianism".

    Abdulaziz al-Dukhail, who had served as deputy finance minister, went missing in April along with at least two other public intellectuals also believed to be in detention for their implied criticism of the state.

    In the following months, separate claims surfaced that a Twitter data breach by Saudi infiltrators in 2015 resulted in a wave of "enforced disappearances" of regime critics, many with anonymous accounts on the social media platform.

    The cases illustrate how Saudi Arabia, which accounts for the most Twitter users in the Arab world, has sought to harness the power of the platform to promote its ambitious reforms while also aggressively seeking to tame free expression.

    The three public figures dropped from view after expressing sympathy over the death of jailed activist Abdullah al-Hamid, according to family members and two campaign groups including the London-based ALQST.

    Hamid, a veteran activist, died after suffering a stroke in detention while serving an 11-year sentence, sparking a torrent of criticism from international campaigners.

    ***Why do Students Dropout of School?

    Some American high schools have a dropout rate of up to 50%. There are many reasons for students leaving school :

    For two-thirds of the dropouts, motivation is the problem. They can’t just work hard enough. Almost half of them said that they had missed so many classes that they could not catch up anymore. Many said that they were not prepared well enough in their earlier school. For a third of them getting a job was more important than finishing school.

    High school dropouts have more problems in society and in their future lives. They are more likely to be unemployed or live in poverty. There is also a big difference in income if you compare high school dropouts with graduates. According to data by the US Census Bureau, Americans with a bachelor’s degree earn about $ 50,000, those with a high school diploma about $28,000 and dropouts only about $ 20,000.

    Many pupils do not understand the implications of dropping out of school. They often demand better teachers, more lessons to catch up on subjects and more help with learning problems. Some schools have adapted to this situation. They offer evening classes or allow students to come back at a later age.

    My version :

    ***Motivation is a problem for students who drop out of school

    Half of the top 50 universities in the world are in America. For example Columbia University, Johns Hopkins University, Michigan State University, and Washington State University. after getting an interesting fact we were surprised by the dropout rate in that country.

    Some American high schools have a dropout rate of up to 50% and Americans with a bachelor's degree earn about $ 50,000, those with high school diploma about $ 28,000 and dropout dropouts only about $ 20,000.

    There are many reasons why American students drop out, especially in high school. They can't just work hard enough. Almost half of them said that they had missed so many classes that they could not catch up anymore. Many said that they were not prepared well enough in their earlier school.

    Getting a job was more important than finishing school. we can know that it is because of the students' wrong thinking.

    Motivation is the problem, goals and direction of motivation are needed by students in that country.

    "The importance of protecting the environment”

    Plants, individuals, creatures and nature are association. Plants require a decent domain for developing, creatures need plants to eat, and human need everything to survive. Everything went as regular until the human who devastating it. Nobody of living things on the earth who can crushing it with the exception of the human.

    Globalization might as of now be well known to you . Globalization can quicken the rate of economy anyplace. Innovation created throughout the years turn into an apparatus that can without much of a stretch human works. Indeed, even to bolster it numerous new advances are conceived for instance a PC. Lamentably, the velocity of current mechanical change not took after by ensuring consciousness of encompassing environment. Monstrous oil penetrating brought on by the human vehicle is expanding alongside expanding human populaces from year to year. At long last, the waste delivered from the vehicles, get to be one of the fundamental variables dirtied air around us. A ton of natural harm that we regularly listen, for instance, a worldwide temperature alteration ,corrosive downpour, nursery impact, ecological contamination et cetera.

    The nursery impact created by extreme carbon dioxide gas and causes a dangerous atmospheric devation makes the earth more sultry. The following marvel is corrosive downpour, in spite of the fact that it can avoid an unnatural weather change however corrosive downpour is more perilous. people are the primary driver ! Begin From now we should keep our surroundings for our grandchildren one day later. since regardless of how little function you do, will be felt by our youngsters and grandchildren one day later.

    My Version

    "The importance of protecting the environment”

    As we already knew that creatures need each other. We as humans need other creatures like plants and animals to survive. Plants produce oxygen that humans and animals need to breathe, plants and animals is needed for human growth, because humans need edible food. However, this can be disrupted if the ecosystem on earth changes.

    Currently the earth has entered the era of globalization. Globalization is a process towards one world, where every country in the world collaborates more with other countries in order to benefit from each other. This is signed by the rapid progress in technology, which is a tool or facility that can facilitate humans. However, in addition to positive impacts, globalization also has a negative impact on the environment. For example, global warming, the greenhouse effect, acid rain, environmental pollution and so on.

    The greenhouse effect is caused by excess carbon dioxide gas that is present on the earth. The causes are industrial smoke, vehicle fumes that run on oil and fossil fuels and others, also damages in air pollution. Industrial waste is also one of the causes of pollution. The greenhouse effect also makes the earth's temperature warmer than usual. For this reason, we as humans must protect our environment, so that nature is clean and preserved.
