Mobile Phones Should Not be Banned in School [Tittle]
            Mobile phones is not used just for calling, but sending text, taking pictures, accessing internet, and much more. Many students bring their phones to school. For them, mobile phone has many uses. So, mobile phones should not be banned in school. Why do I said that? [Thesis]
       Firstly, students call their parents for other needs. By mobile phone, student can call or their close relative if they need something to be brought to school. In addition, mobile phone can be used to call their children when one of their family were hit by disasters suddenly. And then, student can called their parent to pick her up when want to go home. [Arguments]
       Secondly, increased of knowledge among students. When trying to find answer of difficult task at school, mobile phone can be used as a connecting to search the answer through GPRS or WiFi networks. [Arguments]
       Finally, expand the network of friendship among students. School is the right place to find friend. Average, student been at school about 7 hours or more. So that, a lot of students found their friend in the school environment . Therefore, communication between friends should be kept on of which using a mobile phone. [Arguments]

Definite and Indefinite Pronoun

Definite Pronoun is replaces a noun that’s identity has been clearly given.

There are two types of definite pronouns:


1) personal:  I, you, she, he, it, we, they, you, me, her, him, us, them  
Example: Would you like to study together after class?


2) demonstrative: this, that, these, those
Example: There 10 cherry trees outside the school gate.  Those are my favorite trees at our school.



Indefinite Pronoun is refers to something that is not definite or specific or exact.
The indefinite pronouns are
 : all, another, any, anybody, anyone, anything, each, everybody, everyone, everything, few, many, nobody, none, one, several, some, somebody, someone, These indefinite pronouns can also be used as indefinite adjectives in some cases.


Note that many indefinite pronouns also function as other parts of speech. Look at "another" in the following sentences:


  • He has one job in the day and another at night. (pronoun)
  • I'd like another drink, please. (adjective)

Most indefinite pronouns are either singular or plural. However, some of them can be singular in one context and plural in another. The most common indefinite pronouns are listed below, with examples, as singular, plural or singular/plural.
Notice that a singular pronoun takes a singular verb AND that any personal pronoun should also agree(in number and gender). Look at these examples:
  • Each of the players has a doctor.
  • I met two girls. One has given me her phone number.

These are words and phrases that serve as bridges from one idea to the next, one sentence to the next, or one paragraph to the next. They keep the reader from having to find his or her own way and possibly getting lost in the reading.

Transitions can be placed:

  • At the beginning of a clause and thus create a compound sentence, as in
  • At the beginning of a sentence

Noun Clauses

      
      A noun clause has a subject and verb and functions as a noun. A noun clause is a dependent clause or subordinate clause and is not a complete sentence. It must be connected to an independent clause. Noun clauses usually begin with  how,  that,  what,  whatever,  when,  where,  which,  who, whoever, or why.
