Academic Studies English - Writing Paragraphs & the Writing Process
This book deals with an even larger unit of communication called the paragraph. Single words and single sentences are acceptable in conversations, but if you want to write your ideas, you need to know how to put groups of sentences together into these larger units, called paragraphs. Readers expect written messages to follow certain rules of structure, and, as a result, the success of your communication depends on following these conventions.
In this book, you will have an opportunity to investigate a special kind of writing that is particularly useful in your everyday life, at home and at work.
To create an effective letter, writer needs three sets of skills: 1. A good knowledge of mechanics (spelling, grammar, etc.)
2. The ability to structure good sentences and paragraphs
3. A familiarity with the conventions readers have come to expect when reading letters.
You have already had a lot of practice with the first two skills.
The only one left to master is the conventions (arrangement of details) within the letter.
Research skills are the techniques that allow you to find whatever information your need to help you learn something new, solve a problem, form an opinion, or make a decision. They start with the ability to ask questions and find the answers in sources containing reliable information (sometimes called references). The researcher must be also able to read, listen and view effectively so that he or she can get the best and most accurate information available.
