This book is a free and open resource to composition instructors and students, full of essays that could supplement OER rhetoric and writing texts that lacked readings. All of the essays in this reader are versatile rhetorically and thematically. It is arranged alphabetically by author name. Each essay has a series of hashtags that apply to the essay in some way. You can search for essays thematically that relate to topics like education, the environment, politics, or health. You can also search for essays based on composition concepts like analysis, synthesis, and research. You can search for essays that are based on shared values, essays that rely heavily on ethos, logos, or pathos, essays that are very kairos-dependent, and essays that are scholarly.

Netspeak in Students’ Academic Writing: A Case in the Philippines

Article sidebar, main article content.

The study explored the presence of Netspeak in senior high school students’ academic writing. Several studies have revealed that students’ writing in a face-to-face setting has been observed to be declining, and a limited body of literature explored this phenomenon during a pandemic where classes were largely done virtually. With teachers complaining on the dominance of Netspeak on students’ written communication skills, the study explored whether this phenomenon becomes more evident during the pandemic. The researchers analyzed their academic writing outputs and examined the presence of Netspeak. A total of six (6) writing prompts was completed by 62 students and was given weekly through Canvas, the school’s learning management system. Through discourse analysis, the study revealed that students’ written communication responses showed forms of Netspeak which can be categorized into orthographic deviations, neosemanticism, neologism, and social media expressions. The researchers further argued that the presence of Netspeak could be attributed with so much language creativity and freedom that students enjoy over the Internet amplified by the pandemic. With so many factors involved in the conduct of the study, further studies should explore how students can lessen the use of Netspeak, especially in the field of academic writing.

How to Use Track Changes in Word for Your Essay? [For Students]

My essays and assignments were far from perfect, but I managed to get through them thanks to teachers who pointed out my mistakes. After correcting those errors, I had to send the revised versions for review, making sure to highlight where I made changes. If you need to highlight changes in your document to help your teacher or reviewer track your revisions, I'll show you how to track changes in Word for students.

How to Compare and Highlight Differences in Two papers?

Students often share group project documents to collaborate on adding their parts or revising the content. But what if you forgot to enable the "Track Changes" feature? Fortunately, WPS Writer, a free office suite solution, offers a "Compare" tool. This tool allows students to compare the original document with the revised version to track or acknowledge any changes made. The tool is very straightforward, so let's simplify the steps for comparing documents.

Step 1 : Let's open the original or updated document in WPS Writer.

Step 2 : Go to the "Review" tab in the toolbar and click on the "Compare" button.

Step 3 : Select "Compare..." from the drop-down menu.

Step 4 : The Compare dialog will open. First, browse and upload the original and revised documents by clicking on the "Folder" icon.

Step 5 : Once the documents are selected, click on the "More" button for advanced settings.

Step 6 : In the "Comparison settings" section, choose what to include in the comparison.

Step 7 : In the "Show changes" section, select how to view differences and where to display them in the document.

Step 8 : After exploring advanced settings, click "OK" to proceed.

Step 9 : And here we have the comparison details. It appears that my group member decided to remove some words from a passage that I wrote.

Comparing documents is useful in academic settings as it allows you to learn more in a group setting. Just like how I reviewed the changes made by my group members and tried to understand their purpose, which helped me learn from my mistakes. Additionally, comparing documents can help track changes made by group members at a glance, saving time compared to scrolling through the entire document.

Word is a great tool, especially for students who need to write essays. However, if you want to ensure compatibility across devices—whether mobile, Windows, or Mac—WPS Office is a better choice. It's a free office suite that works with all Word document versions and can even convert your papers to PDF without compromising the original formatting.

How to Use Track Changes in Word for Revising Your Essay?

When writing an essay and you want to draw attention to a specific part, especially one that marks a significant change or correction, highlighting is an effective method. By highlighting, you can ensure that your reader or reviewer notices the changes quickly, making it easier to identify key sections of your work. This is particularly useful when collaborating with teachers or peers for feedback and revisions. Follow these steps to learn how to track changes in Word.

Step 1 : Firstly, let's open the report document in WPS Writer to make some revisions.

Step 2 : Now, to remember the changes made, head to the Review tab and click on the "Track Changes" button. Alternatively, use the shortcut key "Ctrl +Shift + E" to activate this feature.

Step 3 : You'll notice the icon changes color from white to gray, indicating that Track Changes is now active.

Step 4 : Scroll down and make changes in the document; added content will be highlighted in a different color.

Step 5 : Similarly, if content is removed, it will be struck through to highlight the changes

Step 6 : To adjust settings like highlight color or author name, click on the small arrow in the "Track Changes" icon.

Step 7 : Now select "Track Changes Options.." to customize the settings.

Step 8 : Here, you can change how content insertion or deletion is highlighted in the "Markup" section.

Step 9 : In the Balloons section, users can choose whether revisions appear inline or in a separate pane on the right side of the WPS Writer interface.

Step 10 : Once changes are made, exit the Track Changes option dialog by clicking "OK".

Step 11 : Furthermore, click on the small arrow in the Track Changes icon and select "Change username".

Step 12 : Here, students can update the username, ensuring it reflects their preference. Sometimes, your nickname may be shown based on your email ID, so it's possible to change it if needed.

As a student, particularly when tackling projects and theses, the ability to track changes over time is crucial. WPS Writer excels in this area.  When I receive feedback from instructors, I utilize the "Track Changes" feature. This allows me to easily see their suggestions and incorporate them into my work while retaining a record of the original text. The "Compare" feature comes in handy when collaborating with classmates. It helps us effectively visualize and merge changes made by different team members.  Overall, WPS Writer's constant evolution provides a comprehensive set of features and tools that streamline my workflow and simplify academic life.

My First Family Car

My inaugural family car wasn’t a flashy sports model or a sleek sedan; it was a vibrant blue Chevy Blazer, affectionately dubbed the “Blue Streak” for its occasional bursts of speed. Beyond its utilitarian function, the Blue Streak was a catalyst for unforgettable experiences. Whether venturing to the mountains or embarking on mundane errands, it was a stage for laughter-filled road trips and imaginative play, where spilled snacks fueled epic battles in the backseat fort.

Memories of My Car

Amidst late-night drives with the world blurring by, the rhythmic purr of the engine served as a comforting backdrop to cherished memories. Despite its quirks and imperfections, like rattling on uneven roads or unreliable radio reception, the Blue Streak remained steadfast, faithfully ferrying us through rain and shine. Its versatile features, from foldable rear seats for impromptu picnics to a leaky yet invigorating sunroof, transformed mundane outings into thrilling adventures.
