Writing method
To tell story requires some practice. But an uneducated fellow generally tells a tale badly. Mentally he dose not look ahead as he tells it and with out plans. So he repeats again and again, some omits important items. Which he drags in afterwards out of place, and dwell too big on minor details and fails to emphasis the main points. To write a good story must have the whole plot clear in mind, and the important points arranged in their proper order.
In this exercise are not asked to make up a story. The plot of each story is given to more or less fully, in the out lines provided. But an out line is only a without skin body. It is connected work to cloth the skeleton with flesh and breath life in to it. Try to produce a connected narrative and to make it as interesting.
It is natural that paragraph writing should be more difficult than story writing, since it binds the writer into a limit of words and requires a concrete knowledge f the topics and lucid expressions.
It is then, essential for a student of English who wishes to be proficient in paragraph writing to read the works of successful essayist like Bacon, Addison, lamb and TS Eliot etc. if the student is unable to access to them, then he should read the navel books very carefully, noticing how various authors adopt different and distinct styles to express themselves.
Careful reading accompanied by constant practice can certainly make one’s expression mature not only to write paragraphs but also to write critically about ant subject. A reader can very well evolve own style and can attract the teacher with the new and original ideas expressed thereby.
For example `My best friend’ is a stereotyped topic, but a reader original ides and impressive style, can make it interesting telling for instance that his best friend is dog or his best friend is tree which he planted on his birth day, because he feels soothed and happy when he goes near it.
Therefore, it is clear that there is no particular `style’ as for writing paragraphs. Nevertheless, we can suggest a few stages which should be followed to make a Para sound well organized in form and spontaneous in expression.
First of all, a student should devotee a few minutes to think over the subject. This is very important because your aim is o impress the teacher with your new, imaginative and original ideas. Then he should arrange fact thoughts in a respective manner.
When a paragraph has been written, it should be received so that there may not be any careless mistake left.
In the ending the writer gives his opinions. Hence, he should use this freedom in a mature manner and should give mature and imaginative opinions, which would even inspire the teacher and reader ponder over.
