pronoun, adjective, verb, adverb, preposition, conjunction,
interjection.
● Tense of a writing should remain consistent.
● Our objective is to convincingly communicate
ideas, not to impress others.

Metaphors and Vocabularies

● Jargon: Special words or expressions used by a profession or
group that are difficult for others to understand. For example -
“Singing from the same hymn sheet.”
● Tongue twister: A sequence of words or sounds, typically of an
alliterative kind, that are difficult to pronounce quickly and
correctly, as for example “Peter piper picket a peck of pickled
pepper.”
● Stress: In phonetics, stress is the degree of emphasis given a
sound or syllable in speech, also called lexical stress or word
stress. However, in all languages stress is used to make words
more understandable on the word level and is especially apparent
in the pronunciation of individual words or their parts.
