WEBVTT FILE 1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.580 hello and welcome to English Learning 2 00:00:02.580 --> 00:00:04.559 Hub 3 00:00:04.559 --> 00:00:07.140 in part one we learned how to write a 4 00:00:07.140 --> 00:00:09.179 good topic sentence 5 00:00:09.179 --> 00:00:11.400 in part two we learned how to write 6 00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:14.759 supporting and concluding sentences 7 00:00:14.759 --> 00:00:17.160 in this video we are going to learn how 8 00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:19.560 to organize the ideas presented in a 9 00:00:19.560 --> 00:00:21.980 paragraph 10 00:00:22.020 --> 00:00:24.779 methods of organizing writing 11 00:00:24.779 --> 00:00:27.300 as a writer you need to use some tools 12 00:00:27.300 --> 00:00:29.820 to organize the ideas presented in a 13 00:00:29.820 --> 00:00:30.800 paragraph 14 00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:33.540 organizing ideas makes it easier for 15 00:00:33.540 --> 00:00:35.640 readers to follow and comprehend your 16 00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:37.739 writing 17 00:00:37.739 --> 00:00:40.020 in this video we are going to learn 18 00:00:40.020 --> 00:00:42.360 three common ways to organize ideas 19 00:00:42.360 --> 00:00:44.899 presented in a paragraph 20 00:00:44.899 --> 00:00:47.100 chronological order 21 00:00:47.100 --> 00:00:49.500 of importance 22 00:00:49.500 --> 00:00:53.059 and spatial order 23 00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:56.280 chronological order 24 00:00:56.280 --> 00:00:58.800 this technique is most useful when you 25 00:00:58.800 --> 00:01:00.539 want to write about a series of events 26 00:01:00.539 --> 00:01:03.300 that happen in order 27 00:01:03.300 --> 00:01:06.060 for instance in cooking you follow an 28 00:01:06.060 --> 00:01:08.340 order to prepare a dish 29 00:01:08.340 --> 00:01:10.380 starting with shopping for ingredients 30 00:01:10.380 --> 00:01:12.540 such as vegetables oil 31 00:01:12.540 --> 00:01:15.180 Etc first followed by preparing and 32 00:01:15.180 --> 00:01:17.220 mixing the ingredients finally leading 33 00:01:17.220 --> 00:01:20.400 to serving a delicious dish 34 00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:22.680 similar to cooking which requires a 35 00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:25.080 clear order in writing a paragraph about 36 00:01:25.080 --> 00:01:27.720 a series of events we need to consider 37 00:01:27.720 --> 00:01:30.920 order and clarity 38 00:01:31.140 --> 00:01:34.200 time order words also called time order 39 00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:37.500 transitions such as first later then 40 00:01:37.500 --> 00:01:41.759 after that next finally and Etc help the 41 00:01:41.759 --> 00:01:44.100 writers to organize their ideas in a 42 00:01:44.100 --> 00:01:46.319 paragraph chronologically 43 00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:49.380 in terms of punctuation we put a comma 44 00:01:49.380 --> 00:01:52.439 after time order words except then 45 00:01:52.439 --> 00:01:56.299 after then we don't use a comma 46 00:01:56.299 --> 00:01:59.820 chronological order words are used 47 00:01:59.820 --> 00:02:03.860 to describe the history of an event 48 00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:08.479 to narrate an experience or a story 49 00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:12.978 to explain how to do or make something 50 00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:17.360 to explain the steps in a process 51 00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:20.400 it is worth mentioning that 52 00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:23.040 chronological order is mostly used in 53 00:02:23.040 --> 00:02:24.959 expository writing 54 00:02:24.959 --> 00:02:27.540 in expository writing the writers 55 00:02:27.540 --> 00:02:30.780 narrate describe inform or explain a 56 00:02:30.780 --> 00:02:32.639 process 57 00:02:32.639 --> 00:02:35.040 for instance in the following paragraph 58 00:02:35.040 --> 00:02:37.379 we order the routines of Emma on Sunday 59 00:02:37.379 --> 00:02:40.680 evenings with time order words 60 00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:43.379 Emma has a particular routine on Sunday 61 00:02:43.379 --> 00:02:45.000 evenings 62 00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:48.599 first she washes the dishes after lunch 63 00:02:48.599 --> 00:02:51.300 later she sweeps off the kitchen and her 64 00:02:51.300 --> 00:02:52.319 room 65 00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:54.540 then she clears the dust from the 66 00:02:54.540 --> 00:02:57.959 surface of TV cupboards and furniture 67 00:02:57.959 --> 00:03:00.780 after that she cleans the yard and water 68 00:03:00.780 --> 00:03:02.220 the plants 69 00:03:02.220 --> 00:03:05.400 next she irons her clothes and take a 70 00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:06.540 bath 71 00:03:06.540 --> 00:03:08.760 finally she goes out with her friends 72 00:03:08.760 --> 00:03:12.080 and stays out late 73 00:03:17.459 --> 00:03:19.919 in the following example the history of 74 00:03:19.919 --> 00:03:21.720 aircraft development is briefly 75 00:03:21.720 --> 00:03:24.599 described based on time order 76 00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:27.659 by the 17th century the theory behind 77 00:03:27.659 --> 00:03:29.879 balloon flight had started to develop 78 00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:32.879 however it wasn't until the mid-18th 79 00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:34.680 century that the montgolfier brothers 80 00:03:34.680 --> 00:03:37.800 developed larger models of the balloon 81 00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:40.260 this led to the first manned hot air 82 00:03:40.260 --> 00:03:42.659 balloon flight lighter than air on 83 00:03:42.659 --> 00:03:46.080 November 21st 1783 84 00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:50.040 not long after this in 1799 Sir George 85 00:03:50.040 --> 00:03:52.200 Kelly of England developed the concept 86 00:03:52.200 --> 00:03:54.420 of fixed-wing aircraft 87 00:03:54.420 --> 00:03:56.819 using these principles Kaylee 88 00:03:56.819 --> 00:03:58.379 successfully made the first model 89 00:03:58.379 --> 00:04:01.440 airplane and because of this he is often 90 00:04:01.440 --> 00:04:05.239 considered the father of Aviation 91 00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:10.620 practice 92 00:04:10.620 --> 00:04:13.200 choose a favorite topic such as cooking 93 00:04:13.200 --> 00:04:16.738 dancing studying or making a video then 94 00:04:16.738 --> 00:04:18.779 use the transitions to describe the 95 00:04:18.779 --> 00:04:20.820 process of cooking spaghetti for example 96 00:04:20.820 --> 00:04:24.440 from the beginning to the end 97 00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:27.600 order of importance 98 00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:29.699 order of importance is used for 99 00:04:29.699 --> 00:04:31.800 persuading and convincing and ranking 100 00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:36.139 items by their importance or advantage 101 00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:38.279 based on the kind of writing you can 102 00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:39.779 move from the least to the most 103 00:04:39.779 --> 00:04:42.240 important point however you can begin 104 00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:44.400 with the most important point and move 105 00:04:44.400 --> 00:04:48.139 towards less important ones 106 00:04:48.300 --> 00:04:51.000 for instance when you are writing a 107 00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:53.279 persuasive essay it is better to start 108 00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:55.259 with the most significant point to 109 00:04:55.259 --> 00:04:56.759 immediately catch your reader's 110 00:04:56.759 --> 00:04:58.620 attention and encourage them to continue 111 00:04:58.620 --> 00:05:00.660 reading 112 00:05:00.660 --> 00:05:02.820 organizing the writing from the most to 113 00:05:02.820 --> 00:05:04.860 least important strategy is more 114 00:05:04.860 --> 00:05:06.500 effective in written examinations 115 00:05:06.500 --> 00:05:09.360 business communication and when you want 116 00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:13.280 to establish a serious impact 117 00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:15.960 now focus on the following paragraph 118 00:05:15.960 --> 00:05:18.360 which is organized based on the order of 119 00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:20.160 importance 120 00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:22.320 the company has a straightforward 121 00:05:22.320 --> 00:05:24.180 management system 122 00:05:24.180 --> 00:05:26.699 the president who manages the overall 123 00:05:26.699 --> 00:05:29.759 operation takes all major decisions but 124 00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:32.400 the board takes daily decisions 125 00:05:32.400 --> 00:05:34.500 beneath the board members are the 126 00:05:34.500 --> 00:05:36.779 regional managers who monitor the branch 127 00:05:36.779 --> 00:05:39.379 managers 128 00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:44.759 most importantly almost as importantly 129 00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:48.120 just as importantly and finally are some 130 00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:50.279 key transitional words that you can use 131 00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:53.699 with this method of organization 132 00:05:53.699 --> 00:05:55.880 foreign 133 00:05:56.759 --> 00:05:59.339 write a paragraph that discusses your 134 00:05:59.339 --> 00:06:00.419 passion 135 00:06:00.419 --> 00:06:03.180 your passion could be music a particular 136 00:06:03.180 --> 00:06:06.419 sport filmmaking and so on 137 00:06:06.419 --> 00:06:08.460 your paragraph should be built upon the 138 00:06:08.460 --> 00:06:11.039 reasons why you feel so strongly 139 00:06:11.039 --> 00:06:13.199 briefly discuss your reasons in the 140 00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:14.699 order from the most to the least 141 00:06:14.699 --> 00:06:17.599 important point 142 00:06:17.699 --> 00:06:19.740 spatial order 143 00:06:19.740 --> 00:06:22.380 we use spatial order to organize our 144 00:06:22.380 --> 00:06:24.000 paragraph based on the following 145 00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:25.680 purposes 146 00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:29.220 helping readers visualize something 147 00:06:29.220 --> 00:06:32.160 creating a scene using the census smell 148 00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:36.000 sound taste touch and sight 149 00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:39.860 writing a descriptive essay 150 00:06:40.080 --> 00:06:42.479 when you describe the objects around you 151 00:06:42.479 --> 00:06:45.240 for example in a bedroom this is called 152 00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:46.919 spatial order 153 00:06:46.919 --> 00:06:49.560 in fact you create a picture for your 154 00:06:49.560 --> 00:06:50.580 reader 155 00:06:50.580 --> 00:06:53.279 in this method first you choose a 156 00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:55.139 starting point and then guide the reader 157 00:06:55.139 --> 00:06:59.240 to follow you as the writing develops 158 00:07:01.440 --> 00:07:03.839 consider the following paragraph in 159 00:07:03.839 --> 00:07:06.479 which a bedroom is described 160 00:07:06.479 --> 00:07:09.000 attached to my bedroom wall is a small 161 00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:10.919 wooden rack dangling with red and 162 00:07:10.919 --> 00:07:13.080 turquoise necklaces that Shimmer as you 163 00:07:13.080 --> 00:07:14.220 enter 164 00:07:14.220 --> 00:07:16.380 just to the right of the rack is my 165 00:07:16.380 --> 00:07:19.800 window framed by billowy white curtains 166 00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:22.139 the piece of such an image is a stark 167 00:07:22.139 --> 00:07:24.900 contrast to my desk which sits to the 168 00:07:24.900 --> 00:07:26.639 right of the window layered with 169 00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:29.759 textbooks crumpled papers coffee cups 170 00:07:29.759 --> 00:07:32.460 and an overflowing ashtray 171 00:07:32.460 --> 00:07:35.220 turning my head to the right I see a set 172 00:07:35.220 --> 00:07:37.380 of two bare windows that frame the trees 173 00:07:37.380 --> 00:07:40.440 outside the glass like a 3D painting 174 00:07:40.440 --> 00:07:43.080 below the windows is an oak chest from 175 00:07:43.080 --> 00:07:44.880 which blankets and scarves are 176 00:07:44.880 --> 00:07:46.199 protruding 177 00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:48.419 against the wall opposite the billowy 178 00:07:48.419 --> 00:07:51.060 curtains is an antique dresser on top of 179 00:07:51.060 --> 00:07:53.160 which sits a jewelry box and a few 180 00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:54.840 picture frames 181 00:07:54.840 --> 00:07:57.120 a tall mirror attached to the dresser 182 00:07:57.120 --> 00:07:59.340 takes up most of the wall which is color 183 00:07:59.340 --> 00:08:02.060 of lavender 184 00:08:11.520 --> 00:08:13.919 you can use the following transitional 185 00:08:13.919 --> 00:08:16.860 words when using spatial order 186 00:08:16.860 --> 00:08:19.220 just to the left or just to the right 187 00:08:19.220 --> 00:08:22.819 behind between on the left or the right 188 00:08:22.819 --> 00:08:26.400 across from a little further down to the 189 00:08:26.400 --> 00:08:29.759 South to the East and so on a few yards 190 00:08:29.759 --> 00:08:34.039 away turning left or turning right 191 00:08:35.458 --> 00:08:37.620 practice 192 00:08:37.620 --> 00:08:40.080 write a paragraph using spatial order 193 00:08:40.080 --> 00:08:42.059 that describes your commute to work 194 00:08:42.059 --> 00:08:44.580 school or another location you visit 195 00:08:44.580 --> 00:08:47.180 often 196 00:08:48.540 --> 00:08:49.740 summary 197 00:08:49.740 --> 00:08:52.200 so in this video we learned how to 198 00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:54.779 organize ideas in a paragraph by using 199 00:08:54.779 --> 00:08:57.480 time order order of importance and 200 00:08:57.480 --> 00:09:00.140 spatial order 201 00:09:00.540 --> 00:09:03.059 chronological order is most commonly 202 00:09:03.059 --> 00:09:05.700 used in expository writing 203 00:09:05.700 --> 00:09:07.920 it is useful for explaining the history 204 00:09:07.920 --> 00:09:10.740 of your subject for telling a story or 205 00:09:10.740 --> 00:09:14.060 for explaining a process 206 00:09:14.760 --> 00:09:17.100 order of importance is most appropriate 207 00:09:17.100 --> 00:09:19.380 in a persuasion paper as well as for 208 00:09:19.380 --> 00:09:21.720 essays in which you rank things people 209 00:09:21.720 --> 00:09:26.060 or events by their significance 210 00:09:26.300 --> 00:09:29.040 spatial order describes things as they 211 00:09:29.040 --> 00:09:31.260 are arranged in space and is best for 212 00:09:31.260 --> 00:09:33.179 helping readers visualize something as 213 00:09:33.179 --> 00:09:36.179 you want them to see it 214 00:09:36.179 --> 00:09:38.880 that's it for today's video 215 00:09:38.880 --> 00:09:40.500 if you haven't watched the previous 216 00:09:40.500 --> 00:09:42.420 parts of the paragraph writing series 217 00:09:42.420 --> 00:09:44.339 yet
