SPEAKING VERSUS WRITING

SPEECH WRITING

The worst part about it was I had a friend Sitting up
here and she’s saying “ha ha”… And I was saying
“Go get the police… go Get someone”…I later
learned that there are Some people who do that in
the face of disaster…I mean they just start cracking
up as opposed to crying.
My helpful friend, perhaps not realizing that I was
serious, began laughing. Sue roared all the harder as
my situation became more difficult. She claimed I
looked funny, clinging there screaming. I realized
that she was laughing Because she was incapable of
acting: the situation must have been greatly
disturbing to her, and so she treated it as if it were
another situation.

DIFFERENCES

There are many differences between the processes of speaking and writing. Writing is not simply
speech written down on paper. Learning to write is not a natural extension of learning to speak. Unlike
speech, writing requires systematic instruction and practice. Here are some of the differences between
speaking and writing that may clarify things for you and help you in your efforts as a writer and speaker.

SPEECH WRITING

Universal, everybody acquires it Not everyone learns to read and write

Spoken language has dialect variations that Written language is more restricted and generally
represent a region follows a standardised form of grammar, structure,
organization, and vocabulary

Speakers use their voices (pitch, rhythm, stress) Writers rely on the words on the page to express
and their bodies to communicate their message meaning and their ideas

Speakers use pauses and intonation Writers use punctuation

Speakers pronounce Writers spell

Speaking is often spontaneous and unplanned. Most writing is planned and can be changed
through editing and revision before an audience
reads it
 Speakers have immediate audiences who nod, Writers have a delayed response from audiences
interrupt, question and comment or none at all and have only one opportunity to
convey their message, be interesting, informative,
accurate and hold their reader’s attention

Speech is usually informal and repetitive Writing on the other hand is more formal and
compact. It progresses more logically With fewer
explanations and digressions.

Speakers use simpler sentences connected by Writers use more complex sentences With
lots of ands and buts. connecting words like however, Who, although,
and in addition.

Speakers draw on their listeners reactions to know Writers are often solitary in their process
how or whether to continue

Speakers can gauge the attitudes, beliefs, and Writers must consider what and how much their
feelings of their audience by their verbal and non- audience needs to know about a given topic
verbal reactions

Consider the fact that................

Virtually nobody speaks Standard Written English. This is the dialect of English that is appropriate for
professional, business, and academic writing. For example, no one always speaks in complete sentences
or pronounces the final letter of every word. However, many people learn to translate their spoken dialect
into Standard Written English when they write.

Both spoken and written dialects are linked to the social background, age, race, and gender of the writer,
speaker and audience. Depending upon whom we are addressing, and what we are discussing, we can
switch between formal and informal ways of communicating.

C VS C++

C++ was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup at Bell labs in 1979, as an extension to the C language.

The major difference between C and C++ is that C is a procedural programming language; which
means that it is derived from sequential step by step structured programming. Some of it's
applications includes scheduling running of other programs, designing games, graphics etc.

On the other hand C++ is a combination of procedural programming as well as object oriented
programming. Objects consists of Data in form of it's characteristics and are coded in the form of
methods. In object oriented programming computer programs are designed using the concept of
objects that interact with the real world.

Some other differences include:

C                                                         C++

Since C is a procedural C++ is an object driven language.

programming, it is a function driven
language.
In C, functions cannot be defined In C++, functions can be used inside
inside structures a structure.
C uses functions for input/output. C++ uses objects for input output.
For example scanf and printf. For example cin and cout.
C does not provide direct support for C++ provides support for exception
error handling (also called exception handling. Used for errors that make
handling) the code incorrect.
C does not support reference C++ supports reference variables.
variables.
