Writing and reading on a
CONNECTED very basic level are both
DISCOURSE means of
communication. There is
a significant difference
between the two, but they
are both also related
closely.
 Reading is the process of going through text and comprehending it. The
process of being able to recognize the contrast between sentences, words,
along with critical thinking skills come into play.

Also, in order to understand well, you must have a sound vocabulary. This
can be achieved by reading more and more. You can try taking words and
attempting to understand them in the context they are used in; or you
could use a dictionary.

Writing, on the other hand, requires you to be adept at the knowledge of

punctuation, grammar, and spellings. A good writer is a good reader,
always. If you can read well and understand the kind of readability required
by the reader to understand the content, then you can use that in our own
writing. This will make you a good writer. You cannot write if you cannot
read; it really is as simple as that.

material, especially longer
A text is generally considered as written
pieces of writing as in a book, a letter or a newspaper. On the other
hand, discourse is generally regarded as spoken.

Qualities of a text according to Jorgensen and Phillips:

1.Cohesion – the parts are connected.
2.Coherence - the overall text has meaning.
3.Intentionality – the writer’s attitude and purpose can be discerned.
4.Acceptability – the text is recognized.
5.Informativity – there is a quantity of new or expected information.
6.Situationality – the text’s topic is situationally and culturally
appropriate.
7.Intertextuality – the text can be linked to preceding discourse.

ABSTRACTION
Connected Discourse: Connected speech is more than just
a string to individual target segments joined together in
series, since each segment is liable to influence the
segment that surrounds it.

Coherence: It is the unifying element in good writing. It

refers to the unity created between the ideas, sentences,
paragraphs and sections of a piece of writing.

Cohesion: the use of repetition, transitional expressions,

and other devices (cohesive cues) to guide readers and
shows how the part of composition relates to one another.

 The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank
(Journal Entry)

Sunday, 21st of June, year 1942

I get along pretty well with all my teachers. There are nine
of them, seven men and two women. Mr. Keesing, the old
fogey who teaches math, was mad at me for the longest
time because I talked so much. After several warnings, he
assigned me extra homework. An essay on the subject “A
Chatterbox.” A chatterbox, what can you write about that?
I’d worry about that later, I decided. I jotted down the
assignment in my notebook, tucked it in my bag and tried
to keep quiet.
