    conventions for words that use- spelling,
    punctuation, capitalization, etc. This

    what you are trying to say.

    They are the memorable students.
    In any class, they participate fully. In
    any mischief, they see no point. In
    volunteering for extra jobs, they
    delight. In distracting their classmates,
    they take no pleasure. In learning, they
    are never satisfied.

    • In the paragraphs the readers
    have no way of knowing whether
    the “memorable students” are
    good students or bad students.
    Mechanics, indeed, is very
    important in order to arrive at the
    meaning of a written text.
    LANGUAGE USE

    have well organized ideas expressed in
    complete and coherent sentences and
    paragraphs. One must also think about the style,
    tone, and clarity of writing.
    • Appropriate language increases one’s
    credibility, strengthens his argument and keeps
    his audience. Major issues with appropriate
    language use include levels of formality ,
    deceitful language, slang, and idiomatic
    expression
    CHARACTERISTICS OF EFFECTIVE
    LANGUAGE
    • Concrete and Specific Language – tangible description
    • Concise language - shorten and simplified
    • Familiar language - use familiar language to the
    writers
    • Precise and clear language - use the suitable language
    • Constructive language - positive approach
    • Formality of language - match the formality of the
    situation
