Alakia Road,

Ibadan,

Oyo State.

The Governor,

Oyo State.

Dear sir,

LETTER OF ADVICE

I am writing this letter to you with a deep sense of appreciation and the acknowledgement of your good works to the good people of Oyo State. You're indeed the best Governor the State has ever had. A lot of students would have been out of school if not for your free education policy. All your good deeds are too numerous to be highlighted in a single letter.

However, it came to my notice that your administration is planning to stop paying for the registration of the Senior School Certificate Examination which I confirmed to be true. It is my duty as a citizen to advise you against this move. I will give you a few reasons to justify my point.

First, there are a lot of indigent students all over the State whose parents cannot afford three square meal in a day. The students fend for themselves and cannot afford to pay for the SSCE registration. If the government stops this payment, these young ones will lose all hope of going to school.

Moreover, Implementing policies that will make the young ones drop out of school will increase the crime rate in the state. If these students no longer go to school, they are liable to join different evil gangs which pose a lot of threats to our community.

Lastly, the future of any state or country lies in the education of the youths. Developed countries in the areas of technology, economy, and health got this breakthrough because they implemented policy that encourage mass education. Our state will lose all hope of development if this planned antipeople policy is implemented.

Finally, I implore you to reconsider this plan and continue this good gesture not minding the present economic realities.

Yours faithfully,

Kolade Oyesetan.

what: when quoting a source, use the author’s words verbatim, or word-for-word. this means you shouldn’t change any grammar, punctuation, spelling, etc. put quotations around the words to tell your reader where the quote begins and where it ends.

you also need to acknowledge the author. for example, if using mla format for your research paper, you should have in-text citations with the author’s name and page number listed at the end of each quote.

when: use quotations to provide concrete examples to support your claims. using direct quotations is a great way to build your credibility on the subject. it’s also a good idea to quote your source when the author states things in a powerful way. if you think he or she said it best, then use the exact words to share the ideas.

example: in the short story “a jury of her peers”, mrs. hale compares mrs. wright to her caged bird, saying “she—come to think of it, she was kind of like a bird herself. real sweet and pretty, but kind of timid and—fluttery. how—she—did—change” (glaspell).

paraphrasing

what: paraphrasing differs from quoting because you restate the passage in your own words. since you don’t use the author’s words, you don’t need to use quotation marks. however, you still need to acknowledge the author for his or her ideas.

when paraphrasing a text, you should communicate the full meaning of the text; don’t change the meaning. it can be a condensed version of the text, or it could end up being longer than the source it’s paraphrasing.

when: you use paraphrasing when you take notes, or explain a chart or diagram to someone. paraphrasing highlight the important parts of a larger text. it also allows you to simplify the ideas for your readers.

example:

original: “it was no ordinary thing that called her away–it was probably further from ordinary than anything that had ever happened in dickson county. but what her eye took in was that her kitchen was in no shape for leaving: her bread all ready for mixing, half the flour sifted and half unsifted” (glaspell).

paraphrase: as mrs. hales walks around mrs. wright’s home, she notices that the kitchen is in disarray as if she was in the middle of baking bread (glaspell).
