My name is Carolina. I'm in my twenties. I'm studying Industrial engineering at Universidad Nacional, Medellin campus. I'm in my third semester and I love it. My favorite subject is Computer-aided manufacturing.

As for my personality, I consider myself as an outgoing and talkative person. I mean, the first time I meet someone I am the one who starts a conversation; for me it's easy to make friends. Apart from that, my friends say that I have my feet firmly on the ground, that is, I'm a realistic person and I know what my limits are.

As regards to my hobbies, I'm keen on dancing, swimming, and reading. I enjoy taking my dog out for a walk; it's a great fun. In my free time I love helping people.

24. SENTENCE WRITING SKILL


Writing better, stronger and more meaningful sentences.

In order to write good sentences and essays you need to write good sentences and paragraphs. 

What is a sentence? A sentence is a group of words that makes complete sense.

This is a sentencethe cat runs fast.
This is not a sentencefast the runs cat
A sentence begins with a capital letter (T) and ends with a full stop (.), a question  mark (?) or an exclamation mark (!).

This is a sentenceThere are many students in our English class.


This is not a sentence:  in class are our English many there students



Look at these sentences:
Which sentence describes the cow better?




1.I like a cow.
2.I have a cow.
3.Show me a cow.
4.A cow is very nice.
5.A cow is a domestic animal.
6.A cow is a domestic animal that gives us milk.

Now look at these two sentences:

Which sentence describes the blouse better?




1.She has a blouse.
2.She has a beautiful red blouse.




You can make better and stronger sentences by adding adjectives (beautiful, red)
Now, look at these sentences:




The dog is walking.
The dog is walking slowly.
*The word that we use to describe a verb is called an adverb (slowly, fast, second, loudly)
So you can make better, stronger and more meaningful sentences by adding adverbs.





25. PARAGRAPH WRITING SKILL


What is a paragraph?


Let's look at these sentences first:


My family
I'm going to talk about my family. I live with my mother, father and an older sister. It is a small and happy family. We live in La Estrella.

So, a paragraph is a group of sentences that tell about a single topic.
