May 10th

today's class was quite interesting for me.
we went over LBH and covered how to write a good introduction and conclusion.
we already learned that we shouldn't leave the belief without any reasons or evidence in the previous classes,
what surprised me was that we are allowed to use emotional factors and reasons in our essays to support the belief.

also Rab gave us further explanations on"assumptions" which had been troubling us since the first essay.
important thing I've learned today was that the problem we have to concern the most about assumptions is not whether we include or avoid assumptions but whether those assumptions are valid or invalid.
rab gave examples that are easy to understand to explain what kind of assumptions are valid or not.
I got an idea that this valid assumptions might be the emotional assumptions, which its validity depends on the audience of the essay.
so whether people believe your assumption is valid or invalid depends on whether the audience share the writer's assumptions or not.
