Writing Techniques
Writing is an important form of communication. Good
writers use different writing techniques to fit their
purpose for writing. To be a good writer, you must
master each of the following writing techniques.
1. Description
Through
description,
a writer helps the reader use the senses of feeling,
seeing, hearing, smelling, and tasting to experience
what the writer experiences. Description helps the
reader more clearly understand the people, places, and
things about which the writer is writing. It is the most
common form of writing. You will find descriptive
writing in newspapers, magazines, books, and most other
forms of written communication.
2. Exposition
Through
exposition,
a writer informs, explains, and clarifies his/her ideas
and thoughts. Exposition goes beyond description to help
the reader understand with greater clarity and depth the
ideas and thoughts of the writer. Expository writing,
like descriptive writing, is commonly found in
newspapers, magazines, books, and most other forms of
written communication.
3. Narration
Through
narration,
a writer tells a story. A
story has characters, a setting, a time, a problem,
attempts at solving the problem, and a solution to the
problem. Bedtime stories are examples of short stories
while novels are examples of long stories. The scripts
written for movies and plays are further examples of
narrative writing.
4. Persuasion
Through
persuasion,
a writer tries to change a reader's point of view on a
topic, subject, or position. The writer presents facts
and opinions to get the reader to understand why
something is right, wrong, or in between. Editorials,
letters to the editor in newspapers and magazines, and
the text for a political speech are examples of
persuasive writing.
5. Comparison and Contrast
Through
comparison and
contrast,
a writer points out the similarities and differences
about a topic. Comparison is used to show what is alike
or in common. Contrast is used to show what is not alike
or not in common. Describing living conditions in 1900
and living conditions today would allow for much
comparison and contrast.
By using the writing technique that fits your purpose,
you will be able to communicate your ideas effectively.
