When writing a personal letter to the English department about your writting (sic) skills, you need to show attention to detail such as: spelling (writing, not writting), capitalization, punctuation, etc.

For your letter, organize your thoughts into 3 or 4 major points. You could also do a creative writing piece to submit. For either one, organize your major points in one paragraph for each item, with a couple supporting arguments. If your letter//essay focuses only on the "writing process", make sure you cover the major points to good writing: outline, thesis statement, writing first draft, revision, re-draft, checking spelling and sentence structure, concluding point.

What are some examples of passive assimilation of words by the English language?

In early years, infants acquire all their language by passive assimilation.In fact, throughout our lives, most of our personal language skills are based on things we learn passively from our environment, from what hear and what we see. Our language skills develop over the years as new words are encountered and as communication and social interaction takes placeIN THE SAME WAY, the English language has also developed over time, and it continues to develop and expand as English speakers are exposed more and more to the wider world through the wonders of the media, technology and the greater opportunities to travel. Globalisation has brought many new words into many languages, including the English language.Over time, if a foreign word is heard often enough, or it makes a significant impact in its own right, it will become yet another part of the English language, invariably by the process of passive assimilation.Examples of 'foreign' words already assimilated into the English language:tobaccobananaracoontepeecustardbungalowcognoscenteet ceteraBUT ... Were these words assimilated and accepted 'passively'? Or, alternatively, was their assimilation resisted? Were such words forced upon the English? Or did English speakers just find themselves using them in the interests of understanding and communication because it seemed only natural to do so?Of course, formal education ensures that learners of a language are exposed to an increasing range of words in order to equip them for life. Ideally all students would be active in that learning process, not 'passive' as such! However, whether or not they were actually 'active' or 'passive' during that formal learning process, doubtless most of their personal vocabulary would have been acquired subconsciously and quite passively from their environment.However, assimilation of words depends upon comprehension. Is 'comprehension' an active or a passive process? Sometimes comprehension needs much effort, and then it would clearly be part of an active process. However, with many words, comprehension often takes place almost instantly, with no effort required on the part of the learner, who simply has to 'listen'. Obviously the brain is involved in the listening process, but it would seem that the process is largely a passive one, as new information is continually being absorbed/assimilated, without any active, conscious effort.SUMMARYIt would seem, for the large part, that personal language and national and ethnic languages (including English) continue to develop and expand by a process of passive assimilation. A short list of some words that were doubtless absorbed this way into the English language is shown above.For more information, see Related links below.
