WRITING IN ENGLISH!
Generally, we write using a pen/
pencil (handwriting) or a keyboard
(typing). With a pen/pencil we usually
write on a surface such as paper or
whiteboard. A keyboard is normally
attached to a typewriter, computer
or mobile device. Voice recognition
programs allow those who can't see
or use their hands to have their
thoughts transcribed.
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.
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. Taking notes for study
purposes is an example of writing
for one's self. Blogging publicly is
an example of writing for an
unknown audience. 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. There are
many different styles of writing,
from informal to formal.
WHAT IS WRITING?
"Writing" is the process of
using symbols (letters of
the alphabet, punctuation
and spaces) to communicate
thoughts and ideas in a
readable form.
