Paano Gumawa ng Sanaysay (Essay)

Paano Gumawa ng Sanaysay.  Ang paggawa ng mga sanaysay o essay ay tila bahagi na ng buhay ng isang estudyante. Quarterly nagpapagawa ng sanaysay si Teacher, minsan naman may mga contest tuwing buwan ng wika sa pagsulat ng sanaysay. Minsan naman, kailangan mo talagang gumawa ng sanaysay dahil requirement ito. Huhulaan ko na, nagbabasa ka ngayon kasi may dapat kang isulat na sanaysay mamaya. Don’t worry na dahil narito na ang aming tutorial kung paano gumawa ng sanaysay.

Paano gumawa ng sanaysay o essay?

Heto ang ilang guide at tips kung paano gumawa ng sanaysay:

Isulat ang iyong pangalan at mahahalagang inpormasyon

Kadalasang nagbibigay si Teacher ng format na dapat mong sundin, sundan mo ang format ng maayos at isulat ang iyong pangalan kung saan nararapat. Kung required ang date at iyong section, isulat ito. Minsan naman, kung ikaw ay contestant sa isang contest, pakinggang maiigi ang instructions ng mga dapat mong ilagay sa iyong papel.

Tamang palugid at bantas

Teka, teka. Bago ka magsulat ng isang salita, kailangan mo munang pansinin ang mga bantas at palugid sa papel. Dapat malinis ang papel na pagsusulatan mo at tuwid ang iyong palugid. Kung nahihirapan kang magsulat na tuwid ang palugid, itupi ang papel o kaya naman ay gumamit ng lapis at ruler upang markahan ang iyong palugid. Sa iyong unang talata, dapat nakaurong ang unang pangungusap mo.

Matapos mong masigurado na malinis ang iyong papel at tama ang iyong mga bantas, pwede mo nang gawin ang susunod na step.

Simulan sa pamagat

Isulat mo ang iyong pamagat sa gitna ng iyong papel, o kung sa MS Word mo ito isinusulat, siguraduhing naka-gitna ang iyong pagsulat. Ang iyong pamagat ay dapat may kinalaman sa ibinigay na paksa, dapat itong kaagaw-agaw ng pansin at ang malakas ang dating nito. Kumbaga sa isang tao, ang pamagat ay ang mukha ng iyong sanaysay. Ito ang unang makikita ng mga taong babasa ng iyong sanaysay kaya’t dapat pamagat pa lang, panalo na!

Siguraduhin ring maayos ang capitalization ng iyong pamagat. Ang mga mahahaba at importanteng mga salita ay nag-uumpisa sa malaking titik. Ang mga pangalan, pandiwa, pang-abay, pang-uri ay dapat naka-capitaliza. (Halimbawa: Juan, Naglayas, Matingkad). Ang mga maikli at di importanteng mga salita tulad ng mga inklitik (conjuctive adverbs), pangatnig (transitional devices) ay nag-uumpisa sa maliit na letra, not unless ito ang unang salita ng iyong pamagat. (Halimbawa: raw, lang, nang)

Isipin ang tema

Kadalasang nagbibigay sila ng tema o paksa na iyong isusulat. Minsan rin naman free-choice ang iyong paksa at mayroon kang kalayaang pumili ng iyong isusulat. Kung ano mang paksa ang iyong isusulat, pag-isipan itong mabuti, pag-aralan at suriin. Kung ang iyong paksa ay isang napapanahong  isyu tulad ng pagtaas ng mga bilihin o environmental concerns (tulad ng mga bagyo at climate change) makabubuting magsulat ng mga inpormasyon na may layuning turuan ang iyong mga mambabasa. Kung ang iyong paksa naman ay naglalayong magpahayag ng iyong opinyon (Halimbawa: pagka-upo ng bagong pangulo, pagtaas ng sahod ng mga guro). Kung ang iyong paksa naman ay nangangailangan ng creative writing (Halimbawa: magandang lugar sa bansa, festivals).

Araling mabuti ang iyong paksa bago ka mag-umpisang magsulat. Kung binigyan ka ng free time para mag-research tungkol sa iyong topic, kunin mo ang oportunidad na ito upang makilala ang iyong paksa ng marami kang maisulat na makakabuluhang bagay sa iyong sanaysay.

Gumawa ng mabuting panimula

Sa paggawa ng sanaysay, ang unang salita o pangungusap sa iyong sanaysay ay dapat ay kaagaw-pansin rin. Ito ang pambungad ng iyong sanaysay at magbibigay ng impresyon sa iyong mga mambabasa. Siguraduhing kawili-wili at hindi nakaka-inip ang iyong unang pangungusap. Ito kasi ang unang papansinin ng iyong mga mambabasa kaya’t dapat ito ay kaagaw-agaw pansin talaga.

Alam mo bang pwede kang kumita kahit estudyante ka pa lang kahit na wala kang puhunan? Basahin mo dito:

Isulat ang mga mahahalagang impormasyon

Sa katawan ng iyong sanaysay nakapaloob ang mga mahahalagang impormasyon at bagay na dapat mong banggitin. Iwasan mong pahabain at hilain ang iyong pagpapaliwanag dahil magiging nakakabagot ang pagbabasa ng iyong mga mambabasa. Siguraduhing ang iyong mga pagpapaliwanag ay straight to the point at hindi paligoy-ligoy, lalo na kung ang iyong sanaysay ay naglalayong magbigay-impormasyon.

Kung ang iyong sanaysay naman ay may halong kwento, siguraduhing ang bawat pangyayari sa kwento ay nakakasabik ng mga mambabasa.

Tapusin sa kaaya-ayang wakas

Bukod sa iyong pamagat, isang bahagi ng iyong sanaysay na sadyang mahalaga ay ang wakas. Dahil ito ang huling bagay na mababasa ng iyong mababasa bago niya ilapag ang iyong sanaysay, ito rin ang isa sa mga medaling maalala na bahagi ng sanaysay. Kaya’t kailangan mong pahalagahan ang oportunidad na ito at mag-iwan ng marka sa iyong mambabasa.

Maaring pamamaraan upang mag-iwan ng isang tumatagal na impresyon sa iyong mambabasa gamit ang iyong wakas. Maari kang gumamit ng isang kasabihan o alegorya/metapor na may magandang kahulugan. Maari mong balikan ang iyong panimula at i-dugtong dito ang iyong wakas. Maari kang mag-iwan ng isang tanong na talaga namang pag-iisipang mabuti ng iyong mambabasa ang sagot. Sabi nga nila may dalawang bahagi kung paano gumawa ng sanaysay ang kailangan mong matutunan nang tama, ang panimula at pangwakas.

Halimbawa ng sanaysay:

Narito ang isang halimbawa ng sanaysay. Gamitin mo ito bilang basehan kung paano gumawa ng sanaysay.

Isang Mabuting Desisyon ang Paghinto sa Pag-inom ng Alak

Kung tutuusin, isang napakadaling gawain ang pagpasok sa kahit anong uri ng addiction. Ang mas mahirap ay ang paglabas sa ganitong kondisyon kapag ikaw ay nalulong na. Ang alcohol ay isang nakaka-addict na substance. Kung patuloy mo itong aabusuhin sa matagal na panahon, maaari kang mahulog sa kanyang patibong. Maaari kang maging addict dito at mamamalayan mo na lamang na hindi mo na pala kayang kumilos kung wala ito. Magigising ka na lamang isang umaga na hindi mo na pala kayang mabuhay nang hindi umiinom. Sapagkat ang alak nga ay nakapasok na sa iyong sistema at ito’y nakagawa na ng isang malakas na impluwensiya sa iyong katawan at isipan. Na parang kasama na ito ngayon sa iyong regular na pangangailangan upang makagawa ng pang-araw-araw na gawain.

Alam nating lahat na ang alak ay isang mapanirang substance. Maraming masamang epekto ang labis na pagkonsumo nito sa ating kalusugan at buhay. At kahit na baliktarin mo ang sitwasyon at mundo, sigurado akong malalaman mong walang mabuting maidudulot ang labis na pag-inom nito lalo na sa pagtagal ng panahon. Kaya nga ang paghinto sa pag-inom ay isang mabuting desisyon na siyang makapagpapabago ng iyong buhay at pati na rin ang kalagayan mo sa iyong community at kapaligirang ginagalawan. Hindi rin natin dapat isa-isantabi na ang desisyong ihinto ang bisyong ito ay makabubuti sa iyong kinabukasan at makapagpapatibay pa ng lubos ng mga relasyong maaaring nasira noong nakaraan habang ipinagpapalit mo kang alak sa iyong mga mahal sa buhay.

Hindi madali ang huminto sa iyong nakasanayan. Lalo pa nga’t naimpluwensiyahan na nito ang iyong katawan at isipan. Pero kung ilalagay mo sa iyong utak ang gawaing ito, maaaring mapagtagumpayan mo ito kahit sa iyong sariling paraan. Mahirap na kung mahirap, ngunit maraming paraan upang makaalis ka sa iyong bisyo. At kung maghahanap ka lamang ng mga programa na maaaring makatulong sa iyo, magiging madali ang paghinto sa pag-inom ng alcohol.

Marami pang panahon para tumigil ka. Marami ring available na paraan para mapaglaban ang iyong kondisyon bilang isang alcoholic. Manghinayang ka sa panahon na inuubos mo lamang sa iyong pag-inom. Sikapin mong pahalagahan ang mga pera na ginagastos mo sa pagtangkilik sa mga inuming nakalalasing. At lagi mong isa-alang-alang ang mga mahal mo sa buhay na umaasang ikaw ay may kapasidad na magbagong buhay. Hindi kailanman maibabalik ang mga nasayang na ito at lalo pang madaragdagan kung patuloy kang iinom ng alak. Ngunit kahit hindi man maibalik ang mga nasayang na panahon at salapi, maaari mo pang baguhin ang takbo ng iyong buhay kung ititigil mo na ang iyong bisyo. At sigurado akong hindi na madaragdagan ang iyong mga problema bagkus ay magkakaroon ka ng mas magandang kalusugan at mabuting pamumuhay ngayon at sa darating pang panahon.

Ngayong alam mo na kung paano gumawa ng sanaysay, isulat mo na ‘yang sanaysay na iyan at maniwala sa iyong sarili na kaya mo itong isulat.

What is Lakbay Sanaysay? Samples of Lakbay Sanaysay

Philippine languages are filled with beautiful literary forms, such as poems, plays and even bugtong (riddles). Another form of writing that many Filipinos like to do — wherever they may be in the world — is the “lakbay sanaysay.”

As the name says, this literary form has to do with traveling. If you love to travel around the Philippines and abroad, and you want to share about your experiences, you should definitely consider composing your very own “lakbay sanaysay.”

Table of Contents

What is Sanaysay?

First of all, let us define the word “sanaysay.” Generally, this term refers to a piece of writing that describes, narrates, or explains a certain topic. It may be formal or informal in tone, depending on the target audience or readers.

Meanwhile, the “lakbay sanaysay” is more specific. It is a piece of writing that narrates or describes a person’s travel experience. It may contain descriptions of different places and events, as well as information about the people, culture, and traditions of a specific location.

Sanaysay in English

In English, the word “sanaysay” translates to “essay.” Consequently, the term “lakbay sanaysay” translates to “travel essay.” Interesting, right?!

Parts of Lakbay Sanaysay

Just like any other type of essay, the “lakbay sanaysay” or travel essay consists of three major parts: introduction, body, and conclusion.

Introduction

The first part of a travel essay usually states the name of the place and the specific time period involved. The introduction plays an important role, especially since it is the very first paragraph that readers will see. It should be able to catch their attention, and encourage them to keep reading.

Typically, the body of a travel essay contains several main points or ideas. This may include a list of a place’s top attractions, festivals or events, where to eat (restaurants and cafes), where to stay (hotel recommendations), and a “how to get there” (transportation) guide. It may also include how much the writer spent (or how much a person can expect to spend) while staying in the said place.

The body may also be written in narrative form, where writers simply talk about their travel experience in chronological order — where they went, what they did, and how they felt about it.

To conclude the “lakbay sanaysay,” writers may share insightful thoughts about their travel experience. They may also invite the readers to come and see the same places that they have visited.

Features of Lakbay Sanaysay

Usually, a travel essay or “lakbay sanaysay” has the following features and/or goals:

• It presents a narrative or account of a writer’s personal travel experience.
• It serves as a guide for people who want to travel to the same destination, by providing tips, recommendations, and relevant information.
• It usually includes pictures and videos showing the beautiful and amazing attractions of a destination.
• It invites or encourages readers to travel and enjoy the same or similar experience.

Samples of Lakbay Sanaysay

Meanwhile, here are some examples of travel essays or “lakbay sanaysay,” written by Filipinos and foreigners as well:

1. Vigan: A Glimpse of the Past

This is a blog article that chronicles the writer’s trip to one of the Philippines’ most historic cities: Vigan. It includes details about transportation, the local food ( e.g. empanada), and of course, the various sights around the city.

“Upon reaching the hotel, we took a quick rest before heading to the famous Calle Crisologo in Vigan town proper,” Louise, the blogger, wrote. “Here, we marveled at the Spanish colonial houses, cobblestone streets, and kalesas (horse-drawn carriages) shuttling tourists around town.”

2. My Journey Through the Philippines in Pictures

In this article, Angel talks about his trip to Mandalay, which is the largest city of Myanmar. He refers to Mandalay as “a vibrant and modern city that still exudes the old world charm.” Here is an excerpt where he describes the amazing city:

“More than a gateway to Bagan, Mandalay has its own share of attractions like the Mandalay Hill and the nearby U-Bein Bridge in Amarapura that offers great views of sunrise or sunset,” Angel wrote. “Other places of interest include: Mahamuni Temple, which is regarded as the holiest pagoda in the country; the Kuthodaw Pagoda, which is dubbed as the largest book in the world; Sanda Muni Paya; Grand Palace, and more.

4. Saga, Japan: Awesome Itinerary

The article introduces Saga as a small prefecture on Kyushu Island in Japan. Its location between the sea and the mountains means that it has many breathtaking landscapes and hot springs. The place also has a rich cultural history, including potteries and amazing festivals.

In the article, the bloggers shared some recommendations about the numerous places to see and things to do in Saga, including participation in the Saga Hot Air Balloon Festival.

“There are three major events in Saga, and one of them is the biggest hot air balloon festival in Asia,” the bloggers stated. “Held at the riverbed alongside the Kasegawa River, you’ll find hundreds of balloons of different colors and shapes participating from around the world, floating in the night sky to be released in the morning for an incredible scene.”

5. An OFW’s Journey Home

The following was written by John Parica, an OFW who specialized in project management of oil and gas projects. In this article, he talk about going home “for good” after more than 10 years of working abroad. He narrates his journey as an OFW, as well as his journey back home.

“My journey as an OFW is a story shared by all others like myself because it is a story of dreams — dreams of a better life for one’s family, to have one’s own house, to give one’s children the best education, to help one’s siblings complete a college education, to provide the best medical treatment to ailing family members, and ultimately to ensure a comfortable life after one retires and grows old,” he wrote.

Paano Sumulat ng Argumentative Essay

• Koponan ng Editoryal ng Smodin
• Nai-update: Septiyembre 13, 2022

Ang isang argumentative essay ay nagsisilbi sa layunin ng paglalahad ng isang punto de bista. Kailangan mong iparinig ang iyong boses, ngunit hindi lang iyon. Para sa piraso ng pagsulat na ito, kakailanganin mong magsaliksik nang husto ng isang paksa, at magtipon, lumikha, at ipakita ang mga katotohanan sa isang partikular na paksa nang maikli. Mangangailangan ito sa iyo na palakasin ito ng ebidensya, matibay na pangangatwiran, at isang wastong istraktura.

Upang gawing simple ang pagbuo ng iyong sanaysay na argumentative, tututuon namin ang pagbubuo ng isa:

Argumentative Essay

Ang argumentative essay ay isang genre ng pagsulat na nagpapahayag ng argumento sa isang partikular na paksa. Mangangailangan sa iyo na magsagawa ng masusing pananaliksik sa paksa. Kailangan mong magsama ng pambungad na naiintindihan na thesis statement, mga wastong punto para suportahan ito, at mga halimbawa para sa pagbibigay-katwiran sa mga puntong iyon. Ang Smodin ay may tool sa manunulat, na may kakayahang awtomatikong magsulat ng mga argumentative essay, hayaan ang AI na isulat ang iyong argumentative essay gamit ang Smodin Writer.

Istruktura ng Argumentative Essay

Para sa isang argumentative essay, kailangan mong magbigay ng isang simpleng istraktura para maunawaan ng mga mambabasa nang hindi kasama ang isang hindi gustong pagsisikap. Narito kung paano mo kailangang buuin ang iyong pagsulat:

• Panimulang Talata

Ang una o ang panimulang talata ng isang argumentative essay ay kailangang isang balangkas ng paksa. Dapat din itong isama ang background na impormasyon at sabihin ang iyong thesis.

• Pahayag ng Tesis

Ang pahayag ng tesis ay tumutukoy sa pangunahing ideya upang mabuo ang sanaysay. Ito ay isang one-liner o two-liner na buod ng iyong punto at ang assertion, na dapat mong ipakita bilang bahagi ng unang talata.

Mga Parapo ng Katawan

Karaniwan, ang isang argumentative essay ay kailangang may 3-4 na talata upang ipahayag ang iyong mga dahilan upang palakasin ang iyong mga punto. Ang bawat isa sa kanila ay dapat sumaklaw ng isang bagong ideya at ebidensya, kasama ng isang paksang pangungusap.

Sa iyong paksang pangungusap, kailangan mong ipakita ang iyong katwiran sa mga punto. Dito, sinusuportahan mo rin ang iyong pananaw sa mga istatistika, pananaliksik, pagsipi ng teksto, at pag-aaral.

Konklusyon o panghuling pag-iisip ay kailangan mong ipahayag muli ang thesis at ibuod ang mga puntong ibinahagi mo sa itaas. Maaari mo ring ibahagi ang iyong pananaw tungkol sa kung paano naimpluwensyahan ka ng paksa.

Pagsulat ng isang argumentative essay

Maaari kang magsulat ng isang nakakahimok at isang mahusay na structured argumentative essay sa tatlong madaling hakbang, at narito ang mga ito:

• Pumili ng paksa at maghanda ng thesis statement

Ang pahayag ng thesis ay isang mahalagang bahagi ng sanaysay dahil nagbibigay ito sa mga mambabasa ng maikling ideya tungkol sa iyong sanaysay. Nagbibigay-daan ito sa kanila na magpasya kung magbabasa o hindi at magsisilbing gabay para sa iyo. Kadalasan, kailangan nitong magsaad ng claim, ang iyong pananaw tungkol doon, at ang mga sumusuportang punto.

Para sa pagpili ng paksa, kung wala kang paunang napagdesisyunan na paksa, ipinapayong piliin ang pumapalibot sa iyong lugar ng interes. Maaari kang magsimula sa pamamagitan ng pag-aaral tungkol sa kung ano ang higit na nakakaapekto sa iyo. Tandaan, kailangan mong magkaroon ng matibay na ebidensya para bigyang-katwiran ito. Gawing malinaw ang mga paninindigan bago pa man.

• Magsaliksik at Ayusin ang kinalabasan

Ang pananaliksik ay nagsisilbing isa sa mga pundasyong haligi ng sulating ito. Ito ay dahil, para sa isang argumentative essay, kailangan mong magkaroon ng set ng ebidensya upang ipakita at ipagtanggol ang iyong argumento. Maaari mong isama ang lahat ng mga mapagkukunan ng sanggunian mula sa mga eksperto sa industriya at maaasahang mga pagsipi. Kapag nagsasagawa ng pananaliksik, maaari mong panatilihin ang mga puntong ito sa iyong isipan:

• Pumunta para sa masusing pananaliksik upang magkaroon ng malinaw na pangkalahatang-ideya ng iyong paksa. Maaari kang magsama ng mahahalagang debate, kontraargumento, at pananaw ng mga eksperto sa larangang iyon.
• Manatili sa lahat ng mga tainga upang malaman at maunawaan ang pananaw sa paksa mula sa iba't ibang mga mata at isipan.
• Takpan ang mga ideya para sa iba't ibang pananaw na hindi pa nasasakupan dati.
• I-draft ang istraktura

Kapag tapos na ang pagkolekta ng lahat ng kinakailangang mga katotohanan, dapat mong i-draft ang istraktura. Mahalagang matutunan mo ang tungkol sa mga direksyon na iyong pupuntahan. Kahit na mayroong iba't ibang mga tool para doon, maaari mo ring gawin ang manu-manong pagsisikap. Ang istruktura ng isang sanaysay na argumentative ay tinalakay na. Habang nagba-draft kailangan mong ilagay sa priyoridad ang istraktura, at bukod doon, narito ang iba pang mga katotohanan na maaari mong panatilihin sa iyong isip:

Panimula at thesis

• Gumamit ng nakakagulat na katotohanan sa isang inspirational quote o personal na anekdota.
• Magbigay ng background para sa iyong paksa.
• Isama ang isyu, ang ugat nito, ang epekto, at ang paraan.

Para sa mga talata ng katawan, maaari kang maglaan ng isa para sa bawat punto. Narito ang mga dapat na bahagi para sa bawat talata na iyong idaragdag:

Ito ang pahayag na ginawa mo para sa iyong argumento, at para dito, dapat mong:

• Isama ang Ebidensya at Paliwanag
• Huwag kalimutan ang wastong ebidensya at ipaliwanag kung paano nito masusuportahan ang iyong claim.

Mga karagdagang talata

Bilang karagdagan sa istrukturang tinalakay sa itaas, dapat kang magdagdag ng mga talata na nakatuon sa mga kontraargumento. Sa pamamagitan nito, maaari mong bigyang-katwiran ang iyong mga kasanayan at kaalaman tungkol sa paksa. Maaari mo ring isama ang mga umiiral na salungat na argumento upang mapanatili ang atensyon ng mambabasa.

Italaga ang iyong konklusyon upang ibuod ang iyong sanaysay at sabihin sa iyong mambabasa kung paano ito wasto. Maaari kang gumamit ng CTA, hypothetical, at ang malaking larawan. Pagkatapos i-wrap ang iyong konklusyon, maaari ka ring pumunta sa panimula at tingnan ang anumang posibleng pagbabago.

Kung gaano kahalaga ang pagbuo ng iyong piraso ng pagsulat, ang pag-proofread nito ay napakahalaga rin. Narito ang mga puntong dapat tandaan kapag nagre-proofread:

• Hanapin at ayusin ang anumang mga error sa gramatika o spelling. Kahit na ang isang menor de edad ay maaaring makagambala sa pokus ng mambabasa at mabawasan ang kalidad ng pagsulat.
• Dapat mong isaisip ang iyong madla bago ka magsulat at mag-proofread.
• Dapat mong piliin ang iyong wika, tono, at pagpili ng mga salita para doon.
• Kapag nag-proofread, siguraduhing wala nang mas mahinang argumento na natitira. Kung mayroon man, suportahan ito.

Iyan lang ang kailangan mo sa pagbuo ng iyong argumentative essay!

Ang isang kaakit-akit at kahanga-hangang sanaysay na argumentative ay ang kabuuan ng opinyon ng manunulat, masusing pananaliksik, matibay na istruktura, at pagpili ng mga punto. Pagdating sa pag-aaral tungkol sa mahigpit na pagsunod sa mga puntong ito, may ilang aspeto na dapat mong tandaan. Ang isang argumentative essay ay kailangang magkaroon ng panimulang talata, isang thesis statement, 3-4 na talata na nakatuon sa iyong ebidensya, at isang paliwanag tungkol dito. Pagkatapos nito, maaari mong ibuod ang iyong argumentative essay na may konklusyon. Kailangan mong unahin ang malalim na pananaliksik upang magkaroon ng lahat ng wastong patunay upang bigyang-katwiran ang iyong mga punto. Nag-aalok si Smodin ng Smodin Author, isang manunulat na pinapagana ng AI na nagbibigay-daan sa iyong lumikha ng mga sanaysay gamit lamang ang isang buto, huwag kalimutang subukan ito HERE

The Secrets To Tagalog Writing: #1 Helpful Guide

• , May 2, 2024

When you are trying to learn a new language, it is not enough that you know the basic words, phrases, and expressions by heart. In order to create a more authentic experience, you must also know the history behind it and how it is actually written.

To help you get started on your journey, we will be discussing the Tagalog writing system used in the Philippines.

What Is The Tagalog Writing System?

Have you ever just stopped to admire the distinct writing systems that you can usually find scripted in other international brands? Contrary to common belief, the Philippines also has its own indigenous writing system that is constantly being revived in some places in Manila.

Filipino, the national language of the Philippines, is heavily reliant on the Tagalog language. Unfortunately, very little is known about its history since the country has massively suffered under different rulers and governments. Each conqueror has its own version of the “standard” language that must be spoken in the country, which is why even modern Tagalog has been consistently modified to accommodate all those historical influences.

At present, the Philippines is using the Latin alphabet in order to have a smoother transition between Tagalog and English, the official languages of the country. But hey, allow me to just share with you a brief introduction to another writing system that is also purely Filipino.

What Is The Baybayin Alphabet?

In the past, Tagalog is written in an alpha syllabary known as the Baybayin script, which has been developed by the natives based on the old Kawi script of Java, Sumatra, and Bali. Prior to the arrival of the Spaniards, Filipinos used this to write poetry and announcements.

If Japan has Hiragana and Katakana, the Philippines have the very special Baybayin. This system of writing is based on sounds, so whenever you want to translate a word, you simply just need to look at the chart ad write it down based on the syllable.

Unlike other languages, the Baybayin has 14 consonants and three vowels. Basically, each letter is already a syllable, and to signify a change in the sound of the vowel, you can use a special character known as kudlit.

The kudlit is like a punctuation mark that looks like a small cut or incision placed above the letter to know whether the sound should be an I, E, O, or U. It can take any form may it be a dot, a tick, or even an apostrophe. When the Spanish knew of this writing system, they invented a new type of kudlit which is shaped like a cross and is now supposed to be added at the lower part of the letter.

Today, this alphabet is only used for decorative purposes, but a huge number of young Filipinos are starting to rekindle a love for this due to its distinct ethnic look. Just last year, millennials started a movement to bring back this script and be used once again in order to create a more unified identity for the country.

After knowing a bit more about the background of Tagalog writing, let’s take a look at some Tagalog phrases as examples that you could practice. If you want to know more about Tagalog vocabulary, then use the Ling app to continue your daily lessons.

We’ve written the best guide on how to follow the correct Tagalog sentence structure. If you’re planning to write to a loved one or a Filipino friend, it’s best to check that article first!

Frequently Asked Questions About Tagalog Writing

Why is baybayin not used anymore.

The Baybayin script fell out of importance during the time that the Spaniards conquered the Philippines. Once they abolished all native script and culture related to the Philippines, the Spaniards started teaching Spanish and their culture, it died down. As years went by, the Philippine writing system has evolved from different regional scripts. Today, we have Filipino which was derived from the Tagalog writing system.

On the other hand, many Filipinos are advocating the use of Baybayin again to revive the identity and ancient culture of the once revered Philippine script.

Why Was Tagalog Changed To Filipino?

The history of Tagalog language tells us that Filipino has replaced Tagalog to unify the once diverse and “mutually intelligible” Tagalog and other Philippine languages and dialects. The Filipino language aims to incorporate these words in one vocabulary database.

To recall, Filipino became the official language of the Philippines after replacing Abakada in 1987.

What Does Written Tagalog Look Like?

Tagalog follows the Phonetic alphabet (A,B,C,D, etc.) with additional letters NG and Ñ. In total, there are 20 letters making up the whole Tagalog alphabet .

What Is The Tagalog Language?

Have you ever wondered why Filipinos are good at English? It is because English is considered as one of the neutral languages that you can use and still be understood by whoever you are speaking with. In truth, not everyone in the Philippines can even speak Tagalog. To compensate, people usually use English or a combination of it in the form of Taglish.

Officially, Tagalog is used by over a quarter of the population of the Philippines- more so in major cities like Manila and the provinces bordering it. The term Tagalog is derived from the endonym taga-ilog which directly translates to “river dweller.” According to linguists, there is a big possibility that the first Tagalog-speaking people were from Northern Mindanao or Eastern Visayas, where there are huge bodies of water.

The Philippines is definitely one country that you should never miss out on in your life. Aside from being ranked as the 45 th best country in the world in 2019, the scenic spots in Tagalog , amazing Filipino cuisine , and cultural influence are totally magnetizing. This archipelagic state in Southeast Asia consists of about 7,641 islands, and almost every region there has a native language of its own!

In fact, if we base it under the official curriculum of the DepEd (the executive department in the Philippines responsible for high-quality education), there are over 19 regional languages that are consistently taught under the Mother-Tongue Based Multi-Lingual Education strategy. In this sense, Filipinos can become more confident about the grasp of their mother language while also learning about Tagalog and English.

And you know what is even more interesting about that? The number of regional languages being taught officially in schools just keeps on growing! This is because aside from Tagalog, there are some 120 to 180 languages spread out and used in the country. However, if you intend to visit the Philippines and spend some time traversing some of the top tourist destinations and cultural attractions, we highly recommend that you arm yourself with some Tagalog!

Practice Your Tagalog Writing Daily

Are you enjoying learning about the history behind the Tagalog writing system and its vocabulary? Then I bet it is time that I introduce to you why you should learn Tagalog , a unique Asian language. The Tagalog language is Easy to learn and is fascinating enough in the sense that it prides itself on an ever-growing set of words and phrases day by day!

And you know what is even more special? These Tagalog words and slang are slowly being embedded into international English dictionaries too!

Unlike other foreign languages, Tagalog is definitely viewed in a positive light since it is easier to remember (because of the Latin alphabet) and does not have complicated grammar rules.

With thousands of Filipinos stationed all over the world, we bet that finding someone to converse with in using this as the target language will be easy. Check out native expressions like how to ask how are you in Tagalog or express  goodbye in Tagalog right now!

How to write an essay in a nutshell

Before you start on how to write an essay, you should read the essay question or topic carefully. Know what’s being asked of you. In the next step, you gather information and ideas about the topic. Use books, articles, or other reputable sources. Afterward, outline your main points and decide on a thesis (your main argument or stance) and supporting arguments.

An essay is typically made up of three parts :

Introduction

After you finish writing your essay, review your writing by paying attention to errors, clarity, and flow. Make sure your arguments are logical and well-presented. Check format, and citations (if any), and ensure it adheres to any guidelines given.

Definition: How to write an essay

How to write an essay refers to the systematic process of creating a structured written piece that presents and supports a specific idea or argument. This process typically involves selecting a topic, conducting research, planning and organizing one’s thoughts, drafting the content, and revising for clarity and coherence. The final product, an essay, is often a combination of an introduction that presents the main idea (thesis), body paragraphs that provide evidence or examples supporting the thesis, and a conclusion that summarizes and reinforces the main points.

Different types of how to write an essay

If you are eager to learn how to write an essay, keep these five types in mind:

• Narrative essay
• Descriptive essay
• Persuasive essay
• Compare-and-contrast essay
• Expository essay

Note: It is important to know what type of academic essay you have to write for your assignment. The type helps you to decide on a topic to write about as well as how to structure your essay outline.

Essay at university and high school

When you are given a typical five-paragraph expository essay , you would simply spend most of your time writing in high school. However, if you are at university, a college-level argumentative essay is bound to be a more complex piece of writing. It demands extensive independent research from varied sources, has stricter guidelines, and often requires deeper critical thinking compared to the more straightforward or surface-level student papers in high school. Depending on where you are in your academic journey, there is a vast difference when it comes to how to write an essay.

Step-by-step guide on how to write an essay

The process of how to write an essay can be broadly distilled into three main points or stages: Pre-writing and planning, drafting, and revising and editing.

For the planning, you should:

• Understand the essay question or prompt
• Conduct preliminary research to gather relevant sources
• Work on your essay outline

During the drafting, you:

• Craft a compelling introduction
• Develop the body of the essay
• Construct a conclusion

In the last step, you revise and edit your text. For this, you:

• Review for coherence, consistency, and logical flow
• Proofread for grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors
• Ensure the essay follows the required format or style guide (e.g., APA Style , MLA )
• Seek feedback from peers, tutors, or mentors and make necessary adjustments

Below you find the steps on how to write an entire essay.

Finishing touches

How to write an essay introduction is not difficult if you know what you should do. You have to lead into the topic and essay question, attract the reader’s attention, and give them a good idea of the focus of the essay. Use attention grabbers, also called hooks , like startling information, an anecdote, a dialogue, a strong statement, or a summary of the topic in general. Add a few more sentences to link the hook to your thesis statement, also called the topic sentence, that marks the end of the essay introduction .

From a child’s first taste of honey to the blooms in our gardens, honeybees touch our lives in unseen, myriad ways. These tiny workers, buzzing from flower to flower, play a crucial role in pollination, ensuring the reproduction of many of our favorite plants. However, the mysterious decline in honeybee populations poses a significant threat to our ecosystem. This essay will explore the significance of honeybees in our ecosystem, delve into the potential reasons behind their alarming decline, and propose solutions to address this growing crisis.

• Thesis statement
• Structure overview

Each of the main ideas in your outline will become one paragraph. Each of those paragraphs follows the same basic structure. First, you have to write down your main ideas. Then you add your supporting points as well as an elaboration (description, explanation, etc.) for each point. Lastly, round it up with a closing sentence. Make sure to use connections between sentences with the help of transition words , so the change in topic does not come abruptly.

Honeybees are not merely producers of honey; they are pivotal players in the world’s food chain. According to a report by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), over 75% of the world’s food crops rely to some extent on animal pollination, with honeybees being among the most effective pollinators. This means that fruits such as apples, nuts like almonds, and even the coffee beans that make our morning brew, owe their existence in large part to the tireless work of these bees. The evidence underscores the gravity of the situation: a world with a declining bee population is one that risks significant disruption in its food supply chain. Such a decline doesn’t only spell trouble for the plants directly dependent on bees, but also for the animals and humans that consume those plants, creating a cascading effect on the larger ecosystem.

• Topic sentence

You have to summarize your main points as well as give a final perspective on the topic. Help your reader to draw a logical conclusion from what they just read. Repack your thesis statement in your conclusion so that the reader can remember the individual steps taken to come to this conclusion. Moreover, you should answer questions like: What are the implications of your topic sentence being true? What comes next? What questions remained unanswered?

The waning number of honeybees in our environment is not just a matter of ecological concern, but a looming crisis that touches every facet of our lives. As we’ve explored, these industrious insects are instrumental in the pollination of a vast majority of our food crops, a process vital to our global food supply chain. The evidence from reputable sources, such as the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, affirms the profound role honeybees play in sustaining our diets and of countless species. But beyond the tangible effects on food, the decline of honeybees serves as a potent reminder of the intricate, interconnected web of life and our role within it. If such a small creature can have such a vast impact on our world, it behooves us to take their decline as a clarion call. The broader implication is clear: preserving and nurturing our environment is not just an ethical duty; it’s a matter of survival, urging us to act with purpose.

• Return to the thesis
• Review of the key points
• Stating the broader implications

Come up with an intriguing title that arouses the reader’s interest. Furthermore, take your time to do the formatting of your paper. You also might want to put the paragraphs in a different order. Check the instructions again because you might have to include other information (name, date, etc.). Handing in a well-formatted academic essay makes a good impression on your instructor.

When it comes to how to write an essay, revision is the key to success. You have to analyze your writing to figure out if it makes logical sense and if there is a natural flow that makes it easy to read. Is every main idea supported by enough evidence, did you make clear how ideas are linked? Run a spelling and grammar checker to be on the safe side. Moreover, ask a friend to read your academic essay to give you feedback. Occasionally, you cannot see the mistakes when it comes to your writing. Having another opinion on your paper helps you with your revisions.

Structuring the paragraphs

Each paragraph should have an introductory, topic-based sentence as well as a concluding sentence that draws a link to the topic and critically summarizes your argument.

Follow with sentences that provide evidence or examples to back up the topic sentence. This can include data, quotations, anecdotes, or explanations. Delve deeper into the significance of the supporting details in relation to your main argument. Explain how the evidence supports the topic sentence and contributes to the overall thesis of the essay.

Furthermore, you should pay attention to coherence, consistency, flow, variety, and relevance.

• Stay consistent in tense, perspective, and style.
• Use transition sentences , a link between sentences, to guide the reader.
• Vary sentence structure and length to keep the reader engaged.
• Every paragraph should relate back to and support the essay’s overall thesis or argument.
• Avoid digressions or unnecessary details.

Essay examples

In the following, you will find samples of how to write an essay. Here, you can read several essay types , whether to help you get started or if you’re simply unsure how to distinguish them.

Below, you will find a list of the dos and don’ts of how to write an essay.

How do you structure an essay?

The typical essay structure is easier to understand than the structure of a dissertation or thesis. There are many types of essays, but the structure remains mostly unchanged. You start with the introduction, then the body paragraphs, and finally, the conclusion.

How do you start writing an essay?

To start your essay, you first need an appropriate research paper topic . Ensure that your topic fits within the guidelines set by your institution, and it’s not too broad or narrow. Then, formulate your thesis statement and begin outlining a plan for your academic essay. Once you’re finished, you can start on how to write an essay.

What is a good essay introduction?

A good essay introduction will begin with an opening statement that grabs the reader’s attention and draws them in. Then, you give a bit of background information and lay out the structure for the reader. The thesis statement should be placed towards the end of the introduction, as it provides one to two sentences of a summary of your essay and the main idea.

What are the five steps of writing an essay?

The five steps on how to write an essay are the following.

• Planning: Understand the prompt and organize your ideas.
• Research: Gather relevant information and evidence.
• Drafting: Write the initial version of the essay.
• Revising: Refine content for clarity and coherence.
• Editing: Proofread for grammar, punctuation, and formatting errors.

What makes an essay good?

A good essay is clear, coherent, well-organized, presents strong arguments supported by relevant evidence, and is written with a consistent style and proper grammar. Furthermore, it starts with a bold statement and ends with an impactful conclusion.

Traditional Academic Essays In Three Parts

Part i: the introduction.

An introduction is usually the first paragraph of your academic essay. If you’re writing a long essay, you might need 2 or 3 paragraphs to introduce your topic to your reader. A good introduction does 2 things:

• Gets the reader’s attention. You can get a reader’s attention by telling a story, providing a statistic, pointing out something strange or interesting, providing and discussing an interesting quote, etc. Be interesting and find some original angle via which to engage others in your topic.
• Provides a specific and debatable thesis statement. The thesis statement is usually just one sentence long, but it might be longer—even a whole paragraph—if the essay you’re writing is long. A good thesis statement makes a debatable point, meaning a point someone might disagree with and argue against. It also serves as a roadmap for what you argue in your paper.

Part II: The Body Paragraphs

Body paragraphs help you prove your thesis and move you along a compelling trajectory from your introduction to your conclusion. If your thesis is a simple one, you might not need a lot of body paragraphs to prove it. If it’s more complicated, you’ll need more body paragraphs. An easy way to remember the parts of a body paragraph is to think of them as the MEAT of your essay:

Main Idea. The part of a topic sentence that states the main idea of the body paragraph. All of the sentences in the paragraph connect to it. Keep in mind that main ideas are…

• like labels. They appear in the first sentence of the paragraph and tell your reader what’s inside the paragraph.
• arguable. They’re not statements of fact; they’re debatable points that you prove with evidence.
• focused. Make a specific point in each paragraph and then prove that point.

Evidence. The parts of a paragraph that prove the main idea. You might include different types of evidence in different sentences. Keep in mind that different disciplines have different ideas about what counts as evidence and they adhere to different citation styles. Examples of evidence include…

• quotations and/or paraphrases from sources.
• facts , e.g. statistics or findings from studies you’ve conducted.
• narratives and/or descriptions , e.g. of your own experiences.

Analysis. The parts of a paragraph that explain the evidence. Make sure you tie the evidence you provide back to the paragraph’s main idea. In other words, discuss the evidence.

Transition. The part of a paragraph that helps you move fluidly from the last paragraph. Transitions appear in topic sentences along with main ideas, and they look both backward and forward in order to help you connect your ideas for your reader. Don’t end paragraphs with transitions; start with them.

Keep in mind that MEAT does not occur in that order. The “ T ransition” and the “ M ain Idea” often combine to form the first sentence—the topic sentence—and then paragraphs contain multiple sentences of evidence and analysis. For example, a paragraph might look like this: TM. E. E. A. E. E. A. A.

Part III: The Conclusion

A conclusion is the last paragraph of your essay, or, if you’re writing a really long essay, you might need 2 or 3 paragraphs to conclude. A conclusion typically does one of two things—or, of course, it can do both:

• Summarizes the argument. Some instructors expect you not to say anything new in your conclusion. They just want you to restate your main points. Especially if you’ve made a long and complicated argument, it’s useful to restate your main points for your reader by the time you’ve gotten to your conclusion. If you opt to do so, keep in mind that you should use different language than you used in your introduction and your body paragraphs. The introduction and conclusion shouldn’t be the same.
• For example, your argument might be significant to studies of a certain time period .
• Alternately, it might be significant to a certain geographical region .
• Alternately still, it might influence how your readers think about the future . You might even opt to speculate about the future and/or call your readers to action in your conclusion.
