Topic: Imagine you get robbed at knifepoint and then the thief gets hit by a car. The car speeds off, nobody else is around and he is in extreme pain but no death; do you help thief? And why?

Everybody goes through a tragedy in their life, they can never forget. A Kind of situation

that puts them in a really confusing predicament. I’ve also been in such an ordeal, I can never

forget in my whole life.

Last month my friend had arranged a party in her home. It was her birthday party. We all

friends were invited. After the party, I had to go home alone because all my friends had already

left home. It was about 12:00 am in the night. And the streets were looking so frightening. I was

driving smoothly, with high volume of my favourite songs.

Suddenly, a man appeared, asking for lift. I opened the door, and went outside. I was about

to ask him where he was going that unexpectedly, he took out a knife and put it on my neck. It

was the worst tribulation of my life. I tried my best not to handover my stuffs. I resisted. But he

pressed the knife on my neck that it started bleeding. I gave up and abandoned all my

possessions.

He ran to the car. Suddenly, a speedy car hit him, and speeded off. I was in a complete state

of shock. The thief was wounded. He was shouting HELP!!! I couldn’t stop myself from helping

him. I put him into the car, and took him to the hospital. He was badly injured..

After treatment when he got conscious. He owed an apology. He was really sorry for what

he did. He promised me that he’ll never go back to his previous life (his life as a thief) and that

he’ll have a new beginning of his life as a completely changed person.

That day I got something, violence can never finish violence only love can do that, blood can

never wash blood only water can do that. I changed his life. And now he has begun his life as a

totally changed person. And I’m really thankful to God for giving me this opportunity.

Five Things You Need to Know about Writing Articles

In Cambridge First or Cambridge Advanced, you might be asked to write an article. But do you know what makes an article different from other types of writing?

1 The reader is identified

An article is like a direct conversation with the reader. The exam question might tell you who your readers are. For example, the students at a school, or the people living in a town or people who are interested in sports. Everything you write must speak to that reader and engage their interest right from the first sentence.

2 It has to get attention

If you're anywhere on the internet these days, you'll be bombarded with articles with headlines that pull the reader in. It's called "click baiting" and all the writer is trying to do is make you open the page to read their article.  You need to think like a journalist when you're writing your article. 

Look at the heading and the first line of this article. How did I get your attention?*

3 It has to be interesting

For an article to work, it has to be engaging enough to read all the way through. Remember how bored the examiner must be after reading fifty exam papers. Make it easier for them to get a good impression about your writing by entertaining them. Add humour, real life or made up examples, or make up quotes.

4 It has to be easy to read

Use subheadings to break up the text and make clear paragraphs. Write in a semi-informal, conversational style.  And make sure there is organisation to your ideas. The planning stage is vital for this.  Spend 5-10 minutes brainstorming ideas and choose the best three or four. Think what your subheadings might be and then write a short introduction that lets the reader know what to expect. 

Keep in mind that you want the reader to keep reading, so don't tell them exactly what they will read. This is not an essay! In an essay you usually restate the question, explain how you will answer it and maybe say why it's important. In an article, that will kill the reader's interest. 

Look back at this paragraph. What sentence style have I used that makes it semi-informal and speak directly to the reader?**

5 Write a good ending

In an essay you sum up the points that have gone before and draw a conclusion from that. But in an article, it's better to give the reader something to think about, perhaps by asking them another question or giving them a call to action. Often, the best endings link back to the starting point in some way.

Here are two endings I could use for this article:

Look at your internet browsing history from the last day. Which articles got your attention? Can you see how they did it?

So, now you know how to write an article, why don't you write one giving advice on something you know about?

Common mistakes students make in articles

The language is too formal and more suited to essays. Avoid words like: to sum up, some people say, nevertheless, on one hand etc.

They don't use quotes or examples

They either use not enough, or too many, questions. The questions, called rhetorical questions because they don't require an answer, shouldn't be more than one per paragraph. Good examples are:

Have you ever ……..?

What do you think about ……..?

Are you one of those people who thinks that ……?

What would life be like if ……?

Will the future bring us ….. ?

* A title which makes the subject immediately clear. For some reason, people like reading lists! And a direct, rhetorical question in the first paragraph to make readers want to find out the answer.

** I've used the imperative to give instructions. E.g. Think…Keep in mind…Write…Spend…

Article writing solution

Write the Articles Yourself. 

You can choose to write some of your web content yourself. I highly recommend that you do write much of your own content, at least on the sites where you're trying to establish yourself as an authority.

However, there are options below that will enable you to post quality content to your website without having to write all of it yourself. (Some you can just edit and use.) The difference in the options below is that YOU become the expert, rather than endorsing someone else as the expert.

Hire a Quality Ghostwriter or Copywriter. 

A ghostwriter is a freelancer who writes for you (usually articles or reports), but you take the credit. A copywriter specializes in writing copy that sells, and you usually take the credit.

There are many sites on the web where you can find writers. Start by asking around, or go to sites like elance.com (a job posting site) or Shelancers.com (a directory of freelancers) to look around. Having a ghostwriter on hand can keep your blog fresh and active.

Our Favorite Shortcut: Stock up on PLR articles. 

PLR articles stands for Private Label Rights articles. PLR articles are usually written by a ghostwriter and sold to several website owners. This means that you (and a limited number of other bloggers) can edit the articles and publish them without being required to link back to anyone or give anyone credit for writing them. You become the expert when using PLR articles.

Customize the articles, tweak them for your market, insert examples or photos or case studies and publish them on your website -- or just use them as they are. Either way, you gain a lot of flexibility when working with PLR. Not only that but they are very affordable.
