[Post 2] Comment by Haiyuan over Hongchuan's Summary

Firstly, this essay needs an introduction. Although the topic asks us to show the 2 arguments the author used to support his case, it is still a little bit strange for an essay to come without an introduction. Moreover, there should be a thesis statement along with the introduction to show the readers what is going to be talked about.

Secondly, Hongchuan caught exactly the 2 arguments which shown in the essay. Using a single paragraph for each argument, he uses the topic sentence in each paragraph, which makes this essay better structured and helps readers to follow him.

Thirdly, he added a lot of arguments in this essay to support the necessity of an integrated approach. This shows his wide range of knowledge. However, I think he needs to add some references along with these additional arguments. What’s more, like the tutor said, this essay is to show the 2 arguments used by the author in the essay “a force to fight global warming “rather than to talk about the importance of an integrated approach for the issue; so I think Hongchuan should emphasize more on the arguments given in the essay.

Generally speaking, Hongchuan’s essay is quite a good essay although there still needs some improvement. I believe the final draft will be an amazing essay.
