写作中的维度和层级结构(Hierarchy)
Renumber the sentences to arrange them in what you think is the best order.
The controlling idea: Since I began living in an apartment and going to school, my biggest problem has been the housework.
(1) Cooking my food is a bigger problem.
(2) The worst problem is doing my laundry.
(3) Cleaning the apartment is not too bad, although it takes time away from my studies; at least
when I finsh the apartment looks nice.
(4) Sometimes the food is burned,sometimes it is not cooked enough, and sometimes I have not
measured correctly, so the food tastes terrible.
(5) Shopping for my food is more difficult because I don’t know the English names of many
foods, and often I have to spend extra time asking for help.
(6) The laundromat is far from my apartment, and I waste much valuable time.
(7) I have never had to cook before, and usually the results are discouraging.
(8) Mostly I am embrassed as I sit in the laundromat with all the women,and so I wait until all my
clothes are dirty before I do this terrible task.
(9) I also have trouble with the complicted instructions,so occasionally I ended up with pink
socks or a shirt that is too small.
What kind of titles are good?
