6. Tone affects how the reader
receives the message
It is not “what” you say, but “how” you
say it.
7. Frost tells us about his past with a “sigh” this
gives the above lines an unhappy tone.
“I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference”
Robert Frost
20. Always use appropriate Language
Nondiscriminatory
Express equality and
respect for all individuals
21. Use Clear, Concise, Simple language
Use the
appropriate level of
difficulty in your
writing to clearly
convey your
message
22. Do Use an Active rather than a Passive
voice
It is more direct, and portrays a willingness to
take responsibility for one’s actions
23. Stress the benefits for the
reader
Will help you avoid
sounding self-
centered and
uninterested
24. Avoid Subjectivity...
Focus the writing on the subject matter rather
than yourself
E.G:If you are writing a sports
article on the Denver Broncos,
make sure you DON’T talk about
your personal feelings towards the
Broncos. Subjective writing is
easily discredited.
