    2. Dear Megha I'm afraid your citation of the title is incorrect.Moreover some elements of redundancy is found in your text.It would give a better understanding to the reader if you mention the reason "why" the ideas must be supported with evidence.But still I must appreciate your work as the task itself is a quite challenging task for us at this moment! Anyhow it was a good attempt.Good luck!

    3. megha, you have already received good responses from your friends.

      one point of improvement, You have written
      "For academic discourse, academic genres is necessary. Through it student become a master in summary, synthesis, and evaluation."

      Here, there is some issue with your understanding. Summary, Synthesis, analysis and evaluation are the four genres so we cant say that through the genres, we master "summary, synthesis, evaluation"

      Do go back to your draft and improve it if you can.

      If you are having problems understanding my feedback, do meet me in person.

    1. Dirgaben, we all friends know that this is a summary about the article of Dee Broughton. So you do not require writing up a title of topic. In the second sentence, there is a mistake of capitalization in the word "How". In the third sentence, between the words "valid" and "rational", you need to put a proper preposition. However, you did good respond. Keep your attempts ahead and advance.

    1. Jatin you have done good effort to summarize the article but yours should come from within.

      Delete
    2. Dear Jatin I must appreciate your work too as it is a thought-provoking task.The gist of the article is projected effectively but still I sense some weak cohesion between successive sentences.The sentences need to be clearly connected using transitional words so that reader can gain access to the logical flow of ideas.These words can communicate vividly to the readers.I believe this is what Himadri wants to points out by saying that "it should come from within".
