Answer to Question 1

Discuss six ways to make your writing interesting.
Use active verbs, except when you want the statement to be impersonal. The subject of the sentence should do the action.

Make the subject of the sentence a person, idea, or thing.

Use specific, meaningful words. Use general or abstract words only when a concept has not yet been reduced to specific terms.

Use familiar words and phrases in place of unfamiliar words and phrases.

Use a phrase or a clause to describe rather than an adjective or an adverb.

Use short words instead of long words.

An effective business letter is composed of five components. Identify and describe each of these components.
Centers around a single purpose (The purpose of a letter may be to inform, to create understanding and acceptance of an idea, to stimulate thought, or to get action);
Is written from reader's viewpoint (Make an effort to write all the sentences in a letter from the reader's point of view  show consideration for the reader, put the reader's needs first, emphasize the reader's interest, and use words that are meaningful to the reader).

Conveys a meaningful message through completeness, correctness, coherence, conciseness, clearness, and courtesy.

Reflects a positive, sincere, and appropriate tone (examine your feelings toward the reader, be courteous and tactful, and watch for negative words).

Is expressed in an interesting style through the use of natural, vivid, and varied language.
