Writing Section:
Students need to read two paragraphs and the exam will cover the following things:

FYI: In the writing section of Midterm exam, students need to do 2 things on each of the given paragraph (there are 2 paragraphs).
1. Find irrelevant sentences from the given paragraphs (unity and coherence skills)
2.Unscramble each paragraph and put sentences in "THE CORRECT FORM" of the given outlines. Two formats (outline) of compare and contrast paragraph and two formats (outline) of cause and effect paragraph will be given.
(Hint: Students should study types of outline and transitional words.)
