Writing Skills

В 

В В В В В В В В В В В В  If you keep in mind the two principles, clarity and precision and write simply and naturally, you may disregard the tyranny of small critics. You do not write effectively, merely by obeying the rules of grammar and syntax, but before you break the rules; you should know what they are:

В 

*Skilled writes study words so that they use those words, fittingly and they consider the most effective way of putting them together. They observe how words affect the thinking and acting of people. В 

*The urge to рЂЗwrite as you speakрЂЭ can lead to a trap. It can put into letters or print too much racy speech; the resulting prose will be either an enemy maker or something to be laughed at; if one writes as loosely as he talks, his letters or essay or report will command little respect. В 

*In any sort of composition meant communicate ideas the writer must consider his purpose and the needs of the reader. It is irrational to sit down with a pen and paper to write something that will be worth the effort unless you know : В 

(i)В В В В В В В В В В В В В В В В В  What you wish to say and

(ii)В В В В В В В В В В В В В В В  To whom you wish to say it.

В 

*Creative writing is a bridge between the mind of the writer and that of his reader. Across this bridge, the writer must send the information of interest of the reader and ideas, which will stir him to thought or action. В В В В В В В В В В В В В В В В В В В В В В В В В В В В В В В В В  The words sent across the bridge have meaning only when they are understood in depth and breadth by the person reading them. A word or a sentence is not merely a bundle of sounds:В  It is also a bundle of associations. Most of the time, people cannot grasp out points unless they are able to connect it with their own experience.

В 

*People respond readily to some words while remaining indifferent to others. Try to use words and language that will affect your correspondent as you wish him to be affected. Take into your account the perception range of your reader: are you sure that he will read out of your letter the thoughts that you mean to inspire him with? В 

*If your subject is difficult, if you must take your reader through swampy land, at least throw him a rope. Give him some help toward reaching solid ground. There are times when persuasiveness consists in saying things that leaves the reader believing that is just the way he would have said them himself. But be tactful: Do not mind him that he didnрЂ™t. В 

*Anyone writing for a wide audience must pay attention to the possible peculiarities and dislikes. An enumerator making his rounds of households before a British general election said: рЂЗA number of people can be thrown by being asked what sex their children are. They would look affronted at the words рЂЗsexрЂЭ. By and by I learned to rephrase the questions as рЂЗhave you got any little boys or little girls рЂЗВ В  В
