Students will then be guided to summarize the key content points of the paragraph and establish an outline for the writing. After students develop a general structure of the essay, they can apply the useful expressions presented in this section to complete their writing. This class is designed to help students enhance their capabilities throughout the writing process, regarding structure construction, content generation, and language application. In this process, their logical thinking, creativity, and writing skills can be practiced and advanced.
