Writing Techniques
session #n7
There are a variety of writing techniques you can use to make your composition more interesting to the reader. To begin or end your essay you can:
- address the reader directly i.e. write as if you were speaking to him/her. (not recommended in formal writing)
e.g. You can imagine what life would be like without water,
- use direct speech to give somebody's exact words, a quotation from a famous person or someone who has influenced your life, a proverb or a saying (i.e. a well-known phrase). In all cases it is necessary to use quotation marks.
e.g. After all, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away”
- use a rhetorical question i.e. a question that does not expect a reply.
e.g. What would modem society be like without computers?
• You can start a narrative by setting the scene i.e. by using the senses to describe the weather, atmosphere, surroundings and also to create mystery and suspense.
e.g. It was a cold winter's night. The wind was blowing hard as Jack was walking down the dark empty street.
• You can also use a variety of adjectives, adverbs and verbs to make your composition more attractive to the reader.
e. g.* -Hold on!- Rose screamed to Jack as she desperately tried to help him get out of the freezing water.*

Linking words and phrases
session #n6
Linking words/phrases make your writing more interesting to the reader and easier to understand. Some linking words (e.g. and, because, but, so, since, etc.) can join two short sentences into one longer sentence. e.g.
He is clever. He is hard-working. ➡️ He's clever and hard-working.
Ann is happy. She passed her exams. ➡️ Ann is happy because she passed her exams.
Some linking words/phrases (e.g. In addition, what is more, However, On the other hand, etc.) show how ideas are related either between two sentences or two paragraphs. e.g.
I have written to you three times already. I still have not received a reply from you. ➡️
I have written to you three times already. However, I still have not received a reply from you.
See how two paragraphs are connected using linking words
First complaint:
Firstly the employees who delivered the cooker were extremely rude and careless. While installing the appliance they made a considerable mess, then they left without tidying the kitchen up.
Adding more points: second complaint:
Furthermore, after they had gone, I noticed that the cooker was badly scratched and the operating instructions were missing....
Let's get to know some linking words:
Linking words/phrases can be used to:
• show time: when, whenever, before. while, as soon as, etc.
• list points or show sequence: first (ly), to start with, next, finally, etc.
• add more points: furthermore, moreover, in addition, and, also, what is more, etc.
• show cause or effect: because, since, as a result, so, consequently, etc.
• give examples: for instance, for example, such as, especially, etc.

If you want a thing bad enough to go out and fight for it,
to work day and night for it, to give up your time, your peace
and sleep for it… if all that you dream and scheme is about it,
…and life seems useless and worthless without it… if you gladly
sweat for it and fret for it and plan for it and lose all your terrror
of the opposition for it…if you simply go after that thing that you
want with all your capacity, strength and sagacity, faith hope and confidence and stern pertinacity…if neither cold, poverty, famine, nor gout, sickness nor pain, of body and brain, can keep you away from the thing that you want…if dogged and grim you beseech and beset it, with the help of God, YOU WILL GET IT! – Les Brown

THINK BEFORE I TALK
[Verse 1]
I said I hate you, I was angry
I got so mad, I slammed your door
You know I really love you, baby
I didn't mean to start a war
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And I know there's a line, but I crossed it
And I pray that it won't leave a scar
I said I hate you, but I'm sorry
Sometimes I wish you'd cut me off
[Chorus]
Maybe I should think before I talk
I get emotional and words come out all wrong
Sometimes I'm more honest than I want
So maybe I should think before
Maybe next time, I'll think before I talk
[Verse 2]
I try my best to make it better (better)
I'm all out of apologies (apologies)
You know I'm not good under pressure (pressure)
Guess hurting you is hurting me
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I took all that we built and I broke
And I pray it won't tear us apart
So let me piece it back together
I know I cut you pretty deep (know I cut you pretty deep)

PLANNING THE LAYOUT OF YOUR COMPOSITION
session #n4
Your ideas should be organized into paragraphs. The layout of most types of writing consists of three parts: an introduction, a main body and a conclusion. Here’s a schematic layout of a paragraph:
I) Introduction
The introduction, i.e. the first paragraph, is a short paragraph whose purpose is to give the reader a general idea of the subject of the composition. It should attract the reader's attention so that he/she wants to continue reading.
For example if you had to write about your favorite car you can start you introductory paragraph in this way:
All people have a dream to get their own car; I do too. I have one dream that when I achieved stablity in a job, I want to buy my dream car namely Bugatti Veyron.
II) Main Body
The main body usually consists of two or more paragraphs and its purpose is to develop points related to the subject of the composition. The number of paragraphs and the way you divide them depends on the specific topics of the composition. Each paragraph should deal with points related to the same topic. Whenever you discuss a new topic, you should begin a new paragraph. For example, in a “for and against essay” the main body should have two paragraphs: one discussing the points for, and another discussing the points against.
In the main body of your paragraph you start proving your claims by bringing reasons. In our case we can say:
body paragraph 1:
Bugatti Veyron is fast
...........................................................................................................................(giving additional information and comparing top speed and acceleration of your favorite car with other cars).
body paragraph 2:
Bugatti Veyron is safe
............................................................................................................................(giving additional information and comparing the safety of you favorite car with other cars)
body paragraph 3:
Bugatti Veyron provides outnumbered extra features
..............................................................................................................................(giving additional information and comparing extra features your favorite car provides with other cars').
You can add to the number of paragraphs by adding to the number of your claims and proving them in each paragraph.
III) Conclusion
The conclusion is a short final paragraph in which you can summarize the main idea of the subject, restate your opinion in different words, make general comments, express your feelings, etc.
At last you don't claim something new, you have to wrap up what you have been discussing so far. In our case we can say:
As it was discussed so far, the acceleration, speed, and safety of Bugatti Veyron is unique; it also presents many additional facilities for the driver,... So, that's why it is my favorite car.
The Introductory and Concluding paragraphs can be as short as two sentences.
