1. An abstract is a brief summary of the most important points in a scientific paper. However it
is not usually a long text, it presents a well defined structure which involves the objective of the
study, the method, the results and the conclusion. Observe the sentences bellow. They make part
of an abstract. Put them in order by choosing A, B, C or D.
(A) This study sought to determine whether performance on a direct writing assessment is
comparable for examinees when given the choice to compose essays in handwriting versus word
processing.
(B) We examined this relationship controlling for English language proficiency and several
demographic characteristics of examinees using linear models.
(C) We found a weak two-way interaction between composition medium and English language
proficiency with examinees with weaker English language scores performing better on
handwritten essays while examinees with better English language scores performing
comparably on the two testing media. We also observed predictable differences associated with
geographic region, native language, gender, and age.
(D) The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) contains a direct writing assessment,
and examinees are given the option of composing their responses at a computer terminal using a
keyboard or composing their responses in handwriting.
