Example ::
How University Student Manage Stress
       The pie chart shows the percentage of how students spend their time after classes by doing  indoor activities, socializing, studying, going for movies and outdoor activities. (Overview)

          From the information given, we can see that the highest percentage would be indoor activities which is 35% such as playing computer and board game because students feel tired during their lecture then they prefer to have a rest after classes. Whereas, the lowest percentage is going for movies and outdoor activities which  represents 10%  due to lack energy in doing outdoor games such as exercising and financial problem to going for movies. (CIKFs 1)

          On the other hand, the gap between second and third highest is 5% which represents 25% of socializing and 20% of studying. This is due to students more attracted to have a chatting online to reduce their stress rather than doing assignment that can make them stress. (CIKFs 2)

         Probably, the percentage of socializing will increase in the future because nowadays students more prefer to spend their time with friends. As a result, university should provide more facilities for the students such as improve the wireless services and increase the number of public transportation. (P1P2)

Creation Day 7 Number Clip Art
OK..AS I MENTION previous entry..i will share 7 type introduction of essay..so this is the result from our class after learning how to create intro for the essay..



PERSONAL EXAMPLES
     Almost every night, she would go “clubbing“at the nightspots in Jalan Bukit Bintang and Sultan Ismail, Kuala Lumpur's golden triangle, looking for fun and "extra cash". With her black skin-tight miniskirts with a revealing top, she easily draws attention from the males as soon as she walks into any of these nightspots. The 21 years-old girl, Amy comes from a state in the east coast of West Malaysia. She started as a sales promoter at a shopping centre in the city, but her monthly salary of RM800 is hardly enough for her to survive in KL. To make matters worse, she has to send home approximately RM200 a month for her parents and 5 siblings who are still schooling. It is hard for her since the burden of the family is at her hand. Her family is depending on her ( The hook ). Amy now lives in a dark situation where she is happy outside not in inside ( The transition ). There are factors that can cause someone to become a prostitute such as lack of attention from the parents, money problem and negative peers influence ( Thesis statement ).

QUOTATIONS 
     “Vandalism comes naturally from our soul.” These words come from a teenage boy and his friends who lax in drawing graffiti on the wall of a building. Teenage boys said that this work is a piece of art where they often did this to express their feelings or thoughts about certain things in our life. Furthermore, he said that they also draw the graffiti whenever they feel like doing it. This type of vandalism also does not only involve teenagers but also adults ( The hook ).  However, these teens do not know that they have vandalized the image of the building as well as the environment ( The transition ). Vandalism can be prevented if the government creates a law that severely restricts vandals in destroying the environment, giving motivational talk as well as giving punishment by doing community service ( Thesis statement )

FACTS AND STATISTICS
     Prior to the 1980’s, predatory animals were rare sights in rural areas in Malaysia. Even in wilderness areas, bears, tigers, and other predatory animals were rarely being spotted.  As far as this concern, people that were attacks with these kinds of animals are not always the friendly animals.  Between 1989 and 1995 there have been 14 tigers attack peoples.  In one attack, a rubber tapper was killed in his rubber farm near Negeri Sembilan.  Attacks by bears and alligators are also increasing during this period of year ( The hook ). This statistics shows that there is an increasing of wild animal attacks ( The transition ).. The reasons why these animal attacks peoples are because there are hungry, feel threatened and try to protect their young ( The thesis statement ).

RHETORICAL QUESTION
     Racism is one of the world’s major issues today. Do you aware of how much racism still exists in our school, work forces, and anywhere social lives? Racism very much exists and it is about time that people need to start thinking about the solutions to this matter. Can we achieve One Malaysia’s mission with this kind of mind set? Think about it (The hook ). Many people believe that it depends on if a person was brought into the world as a racist or not but that is not the case at all. In fact, an individual cannot be born a racist but only learn to become one asthey grow from child to adulthood ( The transition ). Basic causes, mainstream, institutions, government, anti racism group, and even some hidden event in Malaysia’s past or a few of the possible solutions to racism ( The thesis statement ).

CURRENT EVENTS
     According to New Straits Times, the latest case was a dead baby girl found floating in a sewage tank behind a girls' college hostel in remote Kelantan two days ago. The decomposed body was found by a group of boys playing nearby. Two more abandoned baby cases were reported that day in Malacca and Kuala Lumpur ( The hook ). This situation can be caused by many factors which surround us ( The transition ). Thus, baby dumping is caused by negative social relationship, peer pressure, modern technology and lack of knowledge in individual self. ( The thesis statement )

CONTRAST TO THE THESIS STATEMEN
     Have you heard that being skinny is the ‘it’ thing. Across the globe, teenagers are starving themselves to be skinny. The models force themselves to be skinny and look great. They will do anything such as taking pills and drugs so that they will not gain any weight. Why is this so? Well look around you, the media feeds us constant image of skinny public figure, portraying the fact that being skinny is beautiful. To be fat is a sin ( The hook ). But is it worth to taking pills and drugs in order to maintain your beautiful figure. Is this an appropriate diet technique?  Absolutely not ( The transition ). As a matter of fact, the major impact of engaging in extreme diet is nutrition deficiency, diseases and mental problems ( The thesis statement ).

DEFINITION
Streptococcus pneumonia, or pneumococcal is the most common cause of bacterial meningitis in adults, children, and dogs, and is one of the top two isolates found in ear infection. It is more common in the very young and the very old person. It can also be distinguished based on its sensitivity to lysis by bile. The bacterium Streptococcus pneumonia is a common cause of secondary pneumonia following influenza. The risk of death from pneumonia or influenza is higher for people with heart disease, diabetes, or weakened immune systems such as from HIV ( The hook ). Nowadays, this infection was spread up towards the world ( The transition ). According to this infection, it can cause distress as they need more money for the treatment, being embarrassment to the other person and reducing their self-esteem ( The thesis statement ).

NIGHT 
We continue learn part of reading that is making inferences and prediction.



What is making inferences ??
An inference is a logical conclusion based on what has been stated in the text. Information which is provided must be analysed in order for you to understand what is not directly  stated or hidden between the lines. In order to infer, you need to use your experience, knowledge, common sense and power of reasoning to draw logical conclusion. 

eg :: Mrs Lim said that her executives have improved in their report writing.
Inferences :
1. The executives are now able to effectively organise their ideas in writing.
2. The executives are now able to appropriately selects words to convey their ideas.


What is making  predictions ??
Predicting is an important reading skill as it will enable you to enhance your understanding of the text by anticipating what will happen next. Predicting can be done by using what you know about the text, plot, setting, characters, issues and relating them to your own knowledge to figure out possible outcomes.

eg :: Nadrah has been given the responsibility of heading a multi-million dollar project.
Predictions :
1. She may be promoted soon.
2. With the success of this project, she may be assigned to had other big projects.

As usual, at the end of class, Miss Zu will do some activities that related to what we learn just now. 
First activitiy is find who is the murderer ??
This activity force us to make noise in the class because we need to move around the class to get the answer.
