Hi, everyone!
Welcome to this page.
Nice to see you again!
You understood how to write your one sentence in the previous pages.
Then now, I will explain how to write your large numbers of sentences.
Your conclusion must be expressed in the last of your writings,
except when you write in essay-type exams in Japan.
(See this page.)
In descriptive texts and editorial articles, the last sentences are their conclusions.
In novels, at last, their stories land to their ending.
(Sometimes they have added epilogues after the ends of main stories.)
The very last sentence represents the story's main theme which author truly wants to say.
But if you tell others the last sentence only,
your words are not received with any pounds, like feathers.
Please try to read only the last sentences of any stories.
Do you think "Why does he or she say so?" or "How does he or she think?," don't you?
The last sentence is very very important.
I think, all words before the last sentence exist
for an aim to make the last sentence's impact effectively strong.
If you apply this theory in your writings,
all words in your writing have their only roles and meanings of their existences.
I think you feel easier to construct your sentences before the last sentence.
Originally, your story has only one last sentence.
So, one set of sentences can have only one theme,
because no one can speak two other stories at the same time.
Many sentences writings usually have paragraphs. In one paragraph, you must write one small theme.
If you input several number of matters in one paragraph,
your paragraph loses a focus of discussion.
In such case, your readers can not understand this paragraph's meanings.
We must avoid such bad situations.
When we connect themes of each paragraph,
we can see a framework of written sentences, that is, a flow chart of discussions.
We write nearly some paragraphs of the same kind of themes.
We must treat a segment of such paragraphs as one big segment of one theme in a story.
For example, I, as a high school student,
want to enter an art history course of the department of philosophy, Faculty of letters of A university.
I must write an essay why I want to enter there.
How do I write my wish?
I will show one example as below.
~my essay starts here~
I want to study especially Iconology in many subjects of art histories.
(Iconology: the study of meanings contained in figures or pictures)
I think hided meanings referred to matters drawn in a picture
show roles of itself.
Motifs in each picture, that is, show us ulterior motives of its painter and its client who ordered it
and their power relationship, and influences of authority of that time.
As drawn staffs also show us cultures and majority thoughts of living people at that time,
I will be able to find themes without light of art history before, and to add new interpretations on them.
By them, I wish to change one of common sense in a human history.
Now I am a high school student.
In my art class, I found intents of El Greco contented in drawn motifs in his art work, "The Annunciation."
This was the first experience in my life time and I was strongly shocked by it.
I understood deeply that I must know much of Iconology, if I want to taste paintings enough.
I want to understand meanings of other paintings more.
But as I am still a high school student, I have only opportunities of watching famous paintings.
I can not watch any paintings as I want.
I can not collect information of hided meanings of paintings enough by myself.
And I want to get deep and broad view points for watching paintings, not selfish and narrow one,
by discussions with researchers of art histories and other senior and the same year students.
So I want to study them in a research field, that is, in a university.
I want to enter the department of philosophy, Faculty of letters of A university and to major in Western art histories.
(Philosophy: the study about who we are as humans, what this world is, and how to live as a human)
~end of essay~
The last sentence of upper essay can be placed in the head of it.
(In essay-style exams, that is more recommended in Japan.)
I appealed fully my motivation for my future study in my upper essay.
And I think this essay fits all my wants.
I will separate this essay into paragraphs, as below.
~start of essay~
<First paragraph>
I want to study especially Iconology in many subjects of art histories.
<Second paragraph>
I think hided meanings referred to matters drawn in a picture
show roles of itself.
The motifs in each picture, that is, show us ulterior motives of its painter and its client who ordered it
and their power relationship, and influences of authority of that time.
As drawn staffs also show us cultures and majority thoughts of living people at that time,
I will be able to find themes without light of art history before, and to add new interpretations on them.
By them, I wish to change one of common sense in a human history.
<Third paragraph>
Now I am a high school student.
In my art class, I found intents of El Greco contented in drawn motifs in his art work, "The Annunciation."
This was the first experience in my life time and I was strongly shocked by it.
I understood deeply that I must know much of Iconology, if I want to taste paintings enough.
I want to understand meanings of other paintings more.
<Forth paragraph>
But as I am still a high school student, I have only opportunities of watching famous paintings.
I can not watch any paintings as I want.
I can not collect information of hided meanings of paintings enough by myself.
And I want to get deep and broad view points for watching paintings, not selfish and narrow one,
by discussions with researchers of art histories and other senior and the same year students.
So I want to study them in a research field, that is, in a university.
<Fifth paragraph>
I want to enter the department of philosophy, Faculty of letters of A university and to major in Western art histories.
~end of essay~
In the first paragraph, I advocated what I want to study, that is, Iconology.
In the second paragraph, I mentioned social meanings of my future research.
In the third paragraph, I mentioned meanings for me by studying what I want.
(I think, a decision what you will major in a collage influences your life strongly.
Decisions without your strong motivation from your deep heart are all in valid.)
In the forth paragraph, I mentioned meanings of studies in a university.
(I, that is, said what I want to get there, that is, in a university.)
In the fifth paragraph, I advocated I want to enter that university.
In the first, second, third, and forth paragraphs, I wrote grounds of my conclusion
and I wrote sentences for strengthening the last sentence.
They, that is, role as cover fire of my conclusion.
Let's see a framework of paragraphs, that is, how to shoot cover fires.
In the first paragraph, I mentioned concretely what I want to study.
If a professor who you want to learn from is not present in a collage where you hand in your essay,
you can not get in any laboratories after your entrance of the collage.
So your entrance will be hard.
In the second paragraph, you mentioned that your selected study theme was worth for study in a collage for real.
In the third paragraph, you mentioned about your passion and its cause experiences, which is most important grounds of your wish.
In the forth paragraph, you mentioned that you could not study enough outside a collage and what you want to get in a collage.
You, in fact, mentioned reasons why you must be in a collage for your study.
The cover fires for the fifth paragraph were written in from the first to the forth paragraph.
So all these four paraghraph's words are reasons for the last sentence.
I figured my essay's framework as below.
Every document has discussion flows of all paragraphs to its conclusion and we can figure out them.
You often say opposite examples, concrete examples, and similar theories
to clarify your theories and to increase powers of your words.
Once you understand these discussion flows of written words, you understand the main saying of author.
(This is the first step for reading documents.)
If you only afford writing one sentence,
you must write only the last sentence.
But if you read only this last sentence,
you might think this is only a baby saying.
Your word power is 0.
If you write multi-sentences, your last sentence must be helped by cover fire sentences.
And your writings become weighty and impactive for your readers.
When you write your sentence, especially when you are a beginner for writing,
I think that one sentence is made by 10 words, and 15 to around 20 words in cases with a conjunctional phrase.
Then you can easily take a connection of subject and predicate of your sentence.
Too long sentence often causes for cross talks of subject and predicate.
Now we learned all attentions for writing fully what you want to inform readers.
Let's practice writing
and show others your writings
and modify hard points to understand which you are pointed out by them.
If you repeat these phases by yourself a lot, you become to be able to inform yourself to others at will.
In the next page, let's think about "Attentions on short essay in entrance exams."
In Japanese edition of the next page, I wrote my essay without verbose expressions of words, especially predicates.
But in English edition, I will omit it.
I apologize that in advance, thank you and let's go to the next page.
