TIPS FOR COMPLETING ASSIGNMENT 1
Persuasion is an important element of all forms of writing. Persuasion is especially important as it pertains to Technical Writing.
Here are some tips and suggestions for completing Assignment 1. Please study them at your earliest convenience.
Your first assignment, of course, requires you to write a persuasive memo; therefore, I wanted to give you a few tips and suggestions for successfully completing the assignment. To be effective, a persuasive must consider and address the following:
Identify a specific goal. Your memo’s first sentence should clearly state the document’s main point. Get to that point. Do so early. And ask for a specific response.
Attempt to connect with the audience. Explain what’s in it for them, perhaps by appealing to common goals and values.
Don’t ask for too much. Consider the practical limitations. Lobster for lunch in the cafeteria is probably out of the question!
Be sure to offer convincing evidence. For example, don’t say something is expensive or something is cheap. Provide specific information.
Also…
Before getting started, I strongly recommend that you take a close look at the good and the bad examples. Please note, however, that your assignment has a longer length requirement than what you’ll see in the examples.
For this assignment, you are not to use the words I, me or mine. Any assignment that contains even one of those words will receive a reduced grade. Writing this memo in the first person will give your memo an inappropriate and whiny tone that’s not likely to persuade an audience.
Remember: say it simply; say it clearly. D ...

Linguistic And Communicative Rules
We learned that native speakers have an implicit knowledge of grammar and that children acquire this without realizing it. I commented, however, that a language teacher needs to be able to describe grammatical rules, and in Unit 2 you noted some grammatical differences between spoken and written English. Unit 3 will introduce further grammar concepts and you will have the chance to assess your own explicit knowledge. Unit 2 also began to explore the area of what language we actually choose to use. This unit will continue the theme by looking at how we choose to speak in different situations and will show that this sort of knowledge is just as important for a language learner as grammatical knowledge.
Linguistic competence
The term 'linguistic competence' refers to a person's knowledge of grammar, lexis and sound patterns. As you now know, a native speaker easily acquires implicit knowledge of these aspects of language in childhood. Learners of a foreign language, on the other hand, struggle hard to acquire them. Choosing suitable grammar, words and sound patterns for the particular situation you are in is just as important and this is what the second half of this unit explores. First, though, we will investigate some grammar rules - that is, patterns of usage - and see how they might be useful to a learner of English.
Why do grammar activities like these?
As you carry out the activities on grammar in this unit, remember that it would be very unlikely for a teacher to tell learners everything at once about a particular grammatical item and expect them to apply it when communicating. What she can do is guide learners towards their own understanding about the limits that grammar sets in English - in other words the rules of English grammar. The activities in this section will give you an insight into how to discover and articulate these limits.
A teacher must be skilled at deducing the rules herself so that she can then foster this skill in her learners, who themselves need to develop the same skill if they are to become effective, independent learners. Without such strategies they'll be left to rely entirely on the trial and error methods of a child, and few learners have time to do it this way. So let's now look for some linguistic patterns in English.
Finding patterns: verbs
This section is about looking for boundaries and patterns in verbs. It isn't a comprehensive guide to verbs in the English language. I could have chosen any of the main word classes to investigate - for example, nouns, pronouns or adjectives. But the variety and complexity of the English verb offers you as good a chance as any to practice teasing out and describing some grammatical rules. Verbs also happen to be very central to everything that goes on in English and the explicit knowledge you gain from this section will be useful to you. We'll start with defining the word verb.

Apa Format For Essays
The document provides instructions on the basic guidelines of the APA format, including how to format papers, citations, and references. It uses an example paper written in APA format to demonstrate proper formatting of sections like the title page, abstract, and body. The paper serves as a reference for writing and formatting papers according to the APA style manual.
Lesson 9 Revision
This document provides guidance on revising writing by taking breaks between writing and proofreading, reading writing aloud, getting feedback from others, learning common errors to fix, avoiding vague or lazy language, ensuring proper grammar and structure, and checking for spelling, punctuation, run-on sentences, comma splices, subject-verb agreement, parallel structure, and more. It emphasizes slowing down, reading carefully, and using specific revision strategies to improve one's writing.
