Overview

Quotations: is a kind of material which exactly comes from the information that you found word by word.

Paraphrasing: is kind of material which comes from the information that you found not word by word, but in your own words to explain the meaning of it.

Summarizing: is to conclude the main ideas of the material that you want to use by using your own words.

My topic of my proposal is “Health”. We all know that health is concerned by everyone no matter who you are. However, not everyone knows how to protect our body. So, now please follow me to learn about your body. First, I will introduce the function of your body in order to let you know better about it. Then, I will help you improve your health through telling you how to eat and how to do exercise. After knowing that, I believe you could improve your health condition very well.

First, everyone has a body. But, not everyone knows about it. Just like every sport, only if you know the rule, you could play well in this sport; so do our bodies. Only if you know how it works, you could know how to let them work well to prevent the disease and how to let your body become more and more healthy. That is why I want to introduce the body first in my proposal.

Second is the regular diet. You are what you eat. People replace the old with the new every second. What is the new? The answer is the food. Therefore, what you eat is very important for you. From the book named Your Personal Program for Lasting Weight Loss, which is written by Madelyn Fernstrom, “To lose weight and keep it off, you’ve first got to accept that food intake alone is not the master tool leading to long-term successful weight loss” (p.55). I will tell you how to eat, what to eat, and when to eat, to help you manage your diet.

Third is the exercise. We all know that the life come from doing exercise. I will introduce to you how to do exercise. What exercise is fit for you to do, and what is the good time for your body to do exercise. Why doing exercise could improve your health. For example, doing exercise could “help you manage your weight.” (Mayo Clinic staff)

  1. Grace, who did we decide is your audience? This is very important for when we write the overview.

    Although what you wrote here is very general, it doesn't seem to have a specific audience.

    Also - don't forget to include the date in your in-text citations.

    Please post your response as a comment here.

  2. Hi Rebecca,
    Before the last class, I did not get your meaning about the "audience" things. After I talked to you on that class, I understand. I will rewrite it and repost it on my blogger and my overview, and also my outline. This is because of my misunderstanding. Sorry about that. I will add the date in my in-text citations. Thank you.
