What is logical thinking?
I wrote some papers in uni and the British professor said my writing doesn't have enough logical order (poorly structured writing something like this.)
Even I was in Korea, many teachers or professors said my writing is not so logical. O_o
I still can't understand "logical order". It freaks me out X)
Well, It doesn't mean I am just stupid but I need to know what it is..lol
Is there anyone who knows or who can tell me exact what it is simply ? :D

Hi Amanda,
I can't be 100% certain without reading any of your English what your teachers mean by your illogical writing. But my guess is that you are thinking in Korean when you write English so the way you write may seem correct but is not natural in English.
I am learning Korean right now and I also have some trouble sometimes, but I always try to think in Korean when I write and speak Korean eventhough it is extremely hard.
Hope we can help each other improve.
Matt

Hmm, I'm studying at a British university now ^^ What he might mean is that your essay is a little disorientated. You may want to consider how a standard English essay or a simple piece of argument is structured. Always go back to the basics: point of view or opinion, reason for opinion, supporting evidence, and reiteration. If you are not confident of writing long sentences, keep them short and clear.

If you write an essay or academic article/paper (in chemistry at least), it is common to start with an introduction that describes the topic you are going to talk about. In the introduction you can talk about what work people have done so far, and talk quite generally - e.g. talk about other product designs that people have done iin the past... Then you have to say what you are going to talk about in your paper, and why what you are talking about is important compared to the other things you already mentioned. Like maybe some one has thought of a way to improve a device or improve a design :)
Then you can talk about one thing at a time, whatever it is your paper is about... Like I will then talk about all the different experiments that people performed that are to do with my essay question. And say what the experiments found out.
Then start to bring together all these different things into one answer for the question and write a really good conclusion. You have to always talk about what makes the topic important for people to understand. Sorry, it is hard for me to explain, I've only written scientific papers..

Maybe I think too seriously so people cannot understand what I am saying and was not quite clear. Thank you so much :) It was very helpful**
