Spoken and written words are extremely important for any form of communication. There are different forms of communication, and each one has a unique purpose. Let’s take a look at two such forms of communication

Essay writing

An essay is a written composition containing an expression of one’s personal experiences, opinions, or ideas on a given subject. There are many types of essays.

  • Narrative essays talk about events and experiences.
  • Descriptive essays include description of a person, place, thing, process, or procedure.

Here is a sample of a narrative essay.

My parents gifted me a bicycle when I was five years old. I wasn’t able to ride it but I was eager to learn it. All my friends had bicycles and they rode them in the evenings. My parents promised to buy me a bicycle only if I scored well in my examinations. I worked hard, scored good marks, and true to their words. my parents got me a bicycle. Now the problem was how I would learn to ride it. My friend who lives next door agreed to teach me. She took me to a playground and taught me how to balance myself and use the pedals. She would hold the cycle behind and run along with me. Slowly, I learnt how to ride it without any help. One day, however, I went into the street with the bicycle. There were many vehicles. In an attempt to avoid hitting a bike, I went and hit a wall. I fell down in a puddle of water. I had hurt myself badly. Some people helped me out and took me home. However, I did not lose heart. I tried to be careful and continued to practise. Soon, I became an expert in cycling! I use a bicycle often because it is pollution-free. Riding it helps me keep fit. And it’s a pleasure too!

Information transfer

An information transfer activity involves putting spoken or written texts into another form such as a chart, grid, picture, table, or diagram. The interpretation of texts, diagrams, or tables is a skill that is very useful both in academic and everyday life. It also includes looking at a table, grid, picture, or a chart and answering questions related to it.

Here is a sample of a pie chart.

The pie chart shows how Internet users between the ages 16 and 30 prefer to access it. It shows the results of the survey in which they were asked about their preferred devices for accessing the Internet. The participants in the survey mentioned four devices: smartphone, laptop, tablet, and desktop computer. And this is how it can be interpreted. From the pie chart it is clear that a large number of participants prefers to use smart phones. Next comes laptops. A desktop computer and a tablet are the least preferred devices. In conclusion, it can be said that portable devices such as mobiles and laptops are the most popular choices for accessing the Internet outside their homes. Desktop computers do not seem to be greatly preferred as it is not mobile. In future, we can probably expect to see more and more people accessing the Internet with smart phones rather than other devices.
