Writing an Essay | نوشتن یک مقاله

[Greight]

An essay is a piece of writing several paragraphs long instead of just one or two
paragraphs. It is written about one topic, just as a paragraph is. However, the
topic of an essay is too long and too complex to discuss in one paragraph. Therefore,
you must divide the topic into several paragraphs, one for each major point. Then
you must tie all of the separate paragraphs together by adding an introduction
and a conclusion.

Writing an essay is no more difficult than writing a paragraph, except that an
essay is longer. The principles of organization are the same for both; so if you can
write a good paragraph, you can write a good essay.



An essay has three main parts:

1. An introductory paragraph
2. A body (at least one, but usually two or more paragraphs)
3. A concluding paragraph



Introductory Paragraph
The introductory paragraph consists of two parts: a few general statements
about your subject to attract your reader's attention, and a thesis statement, to state
the specific subdivisions of your topic and/or the "plan" of your paper. A thesis
statement for an essay is just like a topic sentence for a paragraph: it names the
specific topic and the controlling ideas or major subdivisions of the topic.

Body
The body consists of one or more paragraphs. Each paragraph contains a
subdivision of your topic, so the number of paragraphs in the body will vary with the
number of subdivisions. The paragraphs of the body are like the main supporting
points of a paragraph. Furthermore, just as you can organize the ideas in a
paragraph by chronological order or by order of importance, you can organize the
paragraphs in an essay in the same ways.

Conclusion
The conclusion in an essay, like the concluding sentence in a paragraph, is a
summary or review of the main points discussed in the body.

کلید تبحر و مهارت یابی در نگارش به زبان انگلیسی، نوشتن مقاله یا انشای ۵ پاراگرافی است. اگر شما هم در نگارش با مشکل روبرو هستید از این روش استفاده کنید و سعی کنید موضوعات ساده ای را انتخاب کنید و در الگوی زیر قرار دهید. پس از چند بار نوشتن به این روش که البته بایستی با پشتکار و ممارست شما همراه باشد، غول نوشتن به زبان انگلیسی شکسته خواهد شد. ضمناً کتابهای زیر به عنوان منابع مطالب زیر معرفی میشود:

1-The Practical Writer With Readings
2- The English You Need to Know

همانطور که گفته شد، برای نوشتن مطلب یا موضوع مورد نظر خود، بایستی مطلب خود را در ۵ پاراگراف بنویسیم. این پنج پاراگراف را به این شکل تفکیک و تعریف می کنیم:

پاراگراف اول یا مقدمه، که شامل Motivator (همانطور که از اسمش پیداست، هدفش صرفاً ایجاد انگیزش در مخاطب برای مطالعه مطلب است)، Thesis Statement (جمله اصلی که حاوی نظر، عقیده و منظور کل مطلب نویسنده میشود) و ‌Blueprint (خلاصه ای از نکات اصلی است که می خواهیم در مقاله خود به آن بپردازیم. با توجه به اینکه مقاله یا انشای 5 پاراگرافی، 3 پاراگراف اصلی دارد باید سه Blueprint برای 3 پاراگراف داشته باشیم).

پاراگرافهای دوم، سوم و چهارم یا پاراگرافهای اصلی که شامل یک جمله اصلی یا همان Blueprint و یک تا 3 جمله در رابطه با جمله اول پاراگراف ما میباشد که به Support معروف است.
پاراگراف پنجم یا نتیجه گیری، که شامل Reworded Topic Sentence (تکرار جمله اصلی یا فرضیه نویسنده)، clincher (قطع کننده یا خاتمه دهنده به مطلب، جمله ای که برای خواننده شکی باقی نمیگذارد که مطلب به پایان رسیده است.

مطلب زیر در مورد "شوخ طبعی کودکان"بر اساس الگوی مقاله ۵ پاراگرافی تهیه شده است کاربرد موضوعاتی که در مورد آن توضیح داده شده را میتوانید در اینجا ببینید:

Motivator: Do you realize that newly born children are not even aware that parts of their bodies belong to them? I learned this fascinating fact in my psychology course from a book that says a baby "lies on his back, kicking his heels and watching the little fists flying past his face. But only very slowly does he come to know that they are attached to him and he can control them. Children have a lot of learning to do before they can see the world - and themselves - through grown-p eyes. Thesis Statement: As children pass through this remarkable process of growing up, they often do some humorous things, Blueprint: especially in learning to speak, in discovering that all objects do not have human characteristics, and in trying to imitate others around them.

Topic Sentence: Not surprisingly, one area in which children are often humorous is in learning to speak. Specific Support: I remember one time I was talking to a friend on the phone while my little sister, Betsy, seemed to be playing inattentively in the floor nearby. After I hung up, Betsy asked me, "Why is the teacher going to give Janet an old tomato?" At first I couldn't figure out what she was talking about. When I asked her what she meant, she said, "You said if Janet doesn't hand in her homework, the teacher is going to give her an old tomato." Finally I caught on. The word I had used was ultimatum !

Topic Sentence: Children can also be funny in the way they "humanize" the objects around them. Specific Support: According to my psychology book, "Up to four or five years old, the child believes anything may be endowed with purpose and conscious activity. A ball may refuse to be thrown straight, or a 'naughty' chair may be responsible for bumping him." I can remember a time , when Betsy stood at the top of the stairs and yelled to her shoes at the bottom, "Shoes! Get up here!"

Topic Sentence: Another way in which children are sometimes funny is in their attempts to imitate what they see around them. All children look pretty silly when they dress up like their mothers and fathers and play "house". Specific Support: My psychology book tells of more interesting example, though. The famous psychologist Jean Piaget wrote of the time his 16 month-old daughter quietly watched a visiting little boy throw a tantrum in trying to get out of his playpen. Piaget's daughter thought it would be fun to try the same thing: "The next day, she herself screamed in her play-pen and tried to move it, stamping her foot lightly several times in succession. The imitation of the whole scene was most striking".

Reworded Thesis: Little children are funny creatures to watch, aren't they? But as we laugh, Clincher: We have to admire, too, because the humorous mistakes are but temporary side trips that children take on the amazingly complicated journey to maturity – a long way from the beginning, where they lay in wonder, silently watching the strange, fingered spacecraft passing, back and forth, before their infant eyes.

رعایت چند نکته در نگارش به زبان انگلیسی می تواند بر جذابیت متن ما بیفزاید. که به طور خلاصه در اینجا توضیح داده شده است:

1- استفاده از کلمات ربطی . مصطلح ترین این نوع کلمات را که بایستی به قول معروف در جلوی یشخوان ذهنمان قرار داشته باشد میتوان به شکل زیر دسته بندی کرد:
برای طرح یک عقیده یا نظر:and, also, another, equally important, finally, furthermore, in addition, last, likewise, moreover, most important, next, second. third
برای مثال زدن: as a case in point, consider, .., for example, for instance, as an illustration
برای مقایسه کردن: and yet, but, however, instead, nevertheless, on the contrary, on the other hand, still
برای وارد شدن به نتیجه گیری: as a result, clearly, hence, in conclusion, no wonder, obviously, then, therefore, thus

۲ - Suspense نویسنده در نگارش مقاله یا مطلب خود به شکلی بنویسد که خواننده مطلب در ذهنش سوال ایجاد شود یا اینکه کنجکاو شود بقیه مطلب را پی ببرد.

۳- Special Details پرداختن به جزئیات. این کار، حس واقعی بودن را القاء میکند. مثلاً اگر بنویسیم "an old car " تنها به یک تصویر مبهم بسنده کرده ایم اما اگر بگوییم " a dusty yellow Pontiac, with rust eating away at the edges" خواننده میتواند آن را در ذهن خود ترسیم کند.

۴- Direct Quotation استفاده از نقل قول مستقیم. در صورت استفاده از نقل قول مستقیم و یا یک دیالوگ، خواننده میتواند خود را در صحنه خبر، یا داستان حس کند و بر حس واقعی بودن آن بیفزاید
