6. R E C A P In the previous lesson, we learned that a sentence that gives the stand or position of a writer on an issue or topic is called thesis statement. This signals or informs the reader of what the essay is about. Now, a writer needs to organize his paper so that thoughts, ideas and information are properly conveyed or understood.

7. L E S S O N A good essay has systematized pattern. This should be observed with the way the writer presents all information in his writing. One way of organizing our ideas is to structure them by fleshing out the main points in our paper.

8. In this lesson, you will learn how to outline ideas in writing your essay. Before writing your paper, it is important that you arrange your flow of ideas so it is just easy for you to discuss in your paper. Before a writer makes an essay or any academic text, he organizes his notes and ideas by arranging them using numbers or letters. This is called an outline. This method allows the writer to visualize the content of his paper, like an idea map. Writing key words or ideas that are to be found in each paragraph, guides the writer on what he is to write.

9. Let us say, you are writing an essay in science, specifically lasers in medicine: Thesis statement: Lasers in medicine have so much improved the way of life of people I. Origins and uses II. Definition and explanation III. Medical uses of lasers

10. In this example, the writer now has a clear idea of how his paper is going to be written. First, he establishes his thesis statement. Second, to be able to develop his paper, he divides his ideas by writing about the history of lasers, and assigned roman numeral I for this point. The body discusses about the definition of lasers and the benefits of lasers as applied in medicine. Writing your ideas this way, organizes your train of thought well, thus creating a well-written and understandable essay.

11. There are also two ways in writing an outline: The first one is a topic outline which is a brief outline of ideas using keywords. Under the heading are several words served as sub topics that will be discussed in the paper.

12. Look at this example: I. Micro- Business Today A. Unemployment B. Definition of Micro Business C. Benefits of Micro Business II. Prospects in Micro Business A. Industry B. Agribusiness C. Services III. Procedures in opening a Micro Business A. Finances B. Business permits C. Location

13. Another is the sentence outline. The topic for each paragraph is written in sentence form instead of key words. Study this example: I. Micro business is becoming a popular livelihood among Filipinos A. Engaging in micro business helps solve unemployment in the country. B. Micro business is an industry that works on small scale. C. Micro business offers many benefits such as flexibility, uniqueness expertise, etc. II. Micro business offers many opportunities for livelihood. A. Industries like food and restaurant, general retail, health fitness are good for micro business B. In agribusiness, there are organic crop farming, vegetable cultivation and ecotourism business to name some. C. For service industry, there are landscaping and horticulture, hotels and other places of lodging, dry cleaning, hair cutting, etc.

As a result, I always try to give random acts of kindness and see people’s excited expressions. I believe that performing random acts of kindness is the best way to strengthen the power of kindness. One night, me and my five best friends Jessie, Ana, Julia, and Jillian were at the 99’s. There was an old man sitting all by himself, and we overheard the waitress say ¨happy birthday to him. Depressed that he was all alone on his birthday, my friends and I decided to pay for his bill. Just that simple act of kindness made this man's entire birthday. He, as well as the other waiters, were all so impressed with us girls. Everyone came up to us after he left thanking us for showing kindness towards a stranger. In return, the waitress thought we were awesome for being raised the right way, she gave us free dessert! One night, my sister Madison, her friend Grace, and our dance teacher Nikki went out to dinner. The whole night they were having so much fun that they didn't even think to go on their phone all night. One guy sitting at a different table happened to notice how much fun they had without technology, he decided to pay for their meal. He thought it was amazing how much fun they were having. This act of kindness by the man made their day so much better, and they came home to tell everyone about it. Random acts of kindness like that is what makes happier people all around. A. Acts of kindness are not taught. B. Acts of kindness are unplanned and simple. C. Acts of kindness are innate to people.
