What are 'wordy phrases' in writing?

a sentence with a minimal amount of words. i.e., I ran fast.

What are the differences between technical writing and traditional writing?

Well, writing a news report- say, for an article or a magazine- is usually factual without belaying opinions. You have to cut straight to the point in a way to entertain and keep you readers.

Technical is a vague word to describe it. From what I understand it would be similar to a news article or an essay, perhaps. It might have a certain structure.

Literary is also vague but something easier to explain. There is, of course, poetry and story, mostly. In poetry you have all different types and in story there's fiction and non-fiction; it branches out from there. In literary you can have an easier flow, more breathing room, and can take liberties on your own style and what you do as long as you follow rules involved for that type of writing, otherwise it doesn't work.

When should underlining be used?

What is effective writing?

Saying it is more effective then writing it because it shows you have courage and that you are not scared of the person you are talking to and also research shows that over 70,973,287 people write notes to friends, enemies or lovers through a relation ship or hate. also a survey says that 15% of 2,194 people questioned had been dumped via text message or email. those are my reasons why saying it is more effective than writing it.

What is a word that can be used in place of is?

There are four basic meanings for the word 'is' in the English language:


(1) Existence: "Socrates is."


(2) Identity: "Mark Twain is Samuel Clemmens"


(3) Predication: "Socrates is wise" or "Socrates is thinking."


(4) General implication (inclusion)/Categorical: "Socrates is a man" or "Man is an animal."


Knowing these four different ways of using the word 'is,' you can vary your sentence structure to avoid 'is' if you feel so inclined.


For example, if you are using "the is of existence," you could say "Socrates exists" instead of "Socrates is." If you are using "the is of predication," you could say "Socrates has wisdom" instead of "Socrates is wise."


There really aren't true replacement words for the 'is,' however, in the sense that 'angry' can mean the same thing as 'mad.' If you are worried that your sentences sound repetitive, you should consider varying your sentence structure in general. Don't go through great lengths to avoid the word 'is.'

What does the concluding paragraph of a compare and contrast essay typically begin with?

That is up to you, the essayist. The essay is your voice, telling your perspective.

Now, that having been said, the concluding paragraph of ALL essays archetypically begins with a restatement (rewording) of the thesis statement. In the conclusion, you are summing up your essay, stating why the points you made previously are the best, most correct, cogent points.

Sample of solicitation letter for Christmas?

December 30, 2008 Gov. Mamintal "Bombit" Alonto Adiong Provincial Capitol Marawi City, Lanao del Sur Re: Solicitation Dear Sir: Assalamo Alaikom and Good Day! The class of Community Development 100-Vv from Mindanao State University Main Campus under Prof. Violeta H. Mendoza is going to conduct a Self Help Activity this 2nd week of January as part of the course requirement. In our group, we choose to conduct a jail visitation for we know that most of our imprisoned brothers and sisters here in Marawi City Jail need some assistance as their personal hygiene is concerned. However, inasmuch as we would like to help all of them, we cannot do this on our own. Thus, we need as much help as we can get. In this regard, we are politely asking your good heart to help and support us to this charitable activity. You may donate in cash or in kind (any items for personal hygiene like bath soap and laundry soap, toothpaste and etc., as well as any available reading materials). Rest assured that your assistance will be very much appreciated.

We are counting on your generosity on this matter. Respectfully Yours, JONEVY J. ANTONIO (Team Leader) Noted by: PROF. VIOLETA H. MENDOZA (Course Instructor)

A good introduction to a paper is probably a quote that has something to do with your essay. Then next say "I agree with this statement and that is why........." I usually call these quotes Grabbers.
