THE ASPECTS OF

WRITING SKILL
TRI KURNIAWATI
1. Grammar
• The grammar of language is a description of way that the language
behaves. Without having knowledge of grammar the writer cannot
make his/her language communicative to a great variety of reader
from different situation.
2. Mechanics
a) Punctuation

Punctuation plays as an important role in helping reader to establish


intonation. In other word, it is a command for the reader to raise
his/her voice or drop his/her speech when he/she is going to stop. It
can also help readers to understand the state of mind of the writer.
b) Capitalization
Example:
• 1) Capitalize the first word of sentence. She plays basketball.
• 2) Capitalize the pronoun “I” If you go I will go too.
• 3) Capitalize the titles of composition. In the title, the first and the more important
words are capitalized except short preposition and short coordinating conjunction.
Name of specific organization (business, clubs, and schools)
• 4) Capitalize all of proper noun. a. Name of detail: God, Allah,Vishnu, etc. b. Name of
people and their title: Dr. Bob, Hengki, etc. c. Name of specific places: River Amazon,
Mount Bromo, etc. d. Name of day, month, and special day: Sunday, October, Idul
Fitri, etc. e. Name of specific group of people (nationality, races, ethnic groups),
language, and religion: Moslem, Indonesian, etc. f. Name of geographic areas: the
South East, the North, etc. 15 g. Name of specific structure such as buildings and
bridges: White House, the Great Wall, Golden Gate Bridge, etc.
c) Spelling
Spelling in the English language is very difficult because the English
spelling system is based primarily on meaning rather than on sound. To
make matters worse, the spelling rules used in English are complicated.
3. Vocabulary
• Vocabulary is the important aspect in teaching a language. Vocabulary
refers to the selection of words which are suitable with the content. It
begins with the assumption that writer wants to express the ideas as
clearly and directly as he/she can. As a general rule, clarity should be
his/her prime objective.
4. CONTENT
• Develop only one idea.  Be coherent. This makes your paragraph
easy to understand.  Focus on the main idea.  Elaborate and
develop your topic sentence. This means that the topic should be
explained in detail.  Add explanations, details and examples to the
supporting sentences.
5. Organization/ STRUCTURE
• It refers to the logical organization of the content (coherence)
• Make sure your paragraph has:  One topic sentence.  As many
supporting sentences as you need.  A concluding sentence.
Study the following paragraph
A Person Who Has Made a Difference: My Grandfather
My Grandfather help his community in two ways. My Grandfather born
in 1 880. He was farmer. Not well educated. (Maybe he only went to high
school for one or two year. In those days, children were needed to work
on the farm.) He was first farmer in his community to terrace his fields.
Then, people thought he was crazy, but now, every farmer does it.
Terracing helps prevent soil erosion. This improved farming techniques in
his area. After he is too old to work at farming, my Grandfather get the
idea that his town needs a Hospital, so he spend his time raising money
to build one. There is no hospitals nearby, and people have to go long
distance to see doctor. People again think he really crazy, but he succeed.
Now a small Hospital in community, and two doctor. Each of the doctors
have lots of patients. The Hospital is named the james walker community
hospital. It was named for my Grandfather. My Grandfather just a simple,
uneducated farmer, but he helped his community a lot.
