WRITING
"Writing" is the process of using symbols
(letters of the alphabet, punctuation and
spaces) to communicate thoughts and ideas in
a readable form.
To write clearly it is essential to understand the
basic system of a language. In English this
includes knowledge of grammar, punctuation
and sentence structure. Vocabulary is also
necessary, as is correct spelling and formatting.
A writer may write for personal enjoyment or
use, or for an audience of one person or more.
The audience may be known (targeted) or
unknown.
Reflection
A letter to a friend is an example of writing for a targeted audience. As
with speaking, it is important to consider your audience when writing.
