5. Common Text Structures Text structures (WDPI, 2012) refer to the way authors organize information in text. Recognizing the underlying structure of texts can help students focus attention on key concepts and relationships, anticipate what is to come, and monitor their comprehension as they read.

6. “Early one morning, Sarah decided to go for a jog in the park. As she jogged, the sun began to rise, casting a golden glow over the trees. Later that day, she met her friends for lunch and shared her morning adventure with them.”

7. Chronological: When I first woke up, I got dressed and went on a long run. Then, I got ready for the day and went to work. After I got to work, I realized that I had forgotten my lunch and purse.

8. To bake a chocolate cake, first preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two 9-inch round cake pans by greasing and flouring them. In a large bowl, combine 1 and 3/4 cups of flour, 1 and 1/2 cups of sugar, 3/4 cup of cocoa powder, 1 and 1/2 teaspoons each of baking powder and baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Add 2 large eggs, 1 cup of milk, 1/2 cup of vegetable oil, and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, mixing until smooth. Gradually stir in 1 cup of boiling water, noting that the batter will be thin. Divide the batter between the pans and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting. This paragraph provides a detailed, step-by-step explanation of the process while maintaining a cohesive and organized structure.

9. Cause and Effect: The Impact of Regular Exercise on Energy Levels Regular exercise leads to increased energy levels. Engaging in physical activity enhances blood circulation and oxygen flow throughout the body, which boosts overall vitality and reduces feelings of fatigue. As a result, individuals who exercise regularly often experience higher energy levels and improved stamina throughout the day. On the other hand, a lack of exercise can lead to decreased energy levels. Sedentary behavior often results in poor circulation and lower overall physical fitness, contributing to increased tiredness and decreased motivation. In summary, regular exercise boosts energy levels and stamina, while a lack of exercise can lead to feelings of fatigue and reduced vitality. This example briefly explains the cause (regular exercise) and its effect (increased energy levels), as well as the effect of not engaging in the cause (decreased energy levels).

10. Problem and Solution: Improving Academic Writing Skills Many students struggle with academic writing, often finding it difficult to organize their thoughts coherently and present their arguments effectively. This issue frequently leads to poor grades and reduced academic performance. To address this challenge, students can benefit from several strategies. First, practicing structured writing techniques, such as creating detailed outlines before drafting, helps in organizing ideas clearly. Additionally, seeking feedback from peers or instructors provides valuable insights for improvement. Utilizing academic writing resources, such as online tutorials and writing centers, can further enhance writing skills. By implementing these strategies, students can improve their academic writing, leading to better performance and greater success in their studies. This paragraph succinctly identifies the problem (difficulty in academic writing) and offers practical solutions to address it.

11. Compare and Contrast: Online Learning vs. Traditional Classroom Learning “Online learning and traditional classroom learning offer different experiences and benefits. Online learning provides flexibility, allowing students to access materials and complete assignments from anywhere at any time. This format is convenient for those with busy schedules or who live far from educational institutions. However, it often lacks the immediate feedback and face-to-face interaction that traditional classroom settings offer. In contrast, traditional classroom learning promotes direct communication between students and instructors, fostering a more personal learning environment. It also provides structured schedules and in-person collaboration with peers. Despite these differences, both methods aim to deliver quality education and can be effective depending on the learner's needs and preferences.” This paragraph clearly compares and contrasts the two types of learning by highlighting their key features and benefits.

13. Definition and Description: A Research Proposal A research proposal is a document that outlines a planned research project. It includes the research question, objectives, methodology, and expected outcomes. The purpose of a research proposal is to persuade others, such as professors or funding agencies, of the significance and feasibility of the research. It serves as a detailed plan that guides the researcher through the study and provides a clear framework for conducting and evaluating the research. This paragraph defines and describes a research proposal, focusing on its content and purpose.
