Assessment 1

Question 1

The reason behind the plain English writing style is the matter is quickly & easily understandable to the reader.

The three benefits of plain English writing style are:

Convey Easily

Save time

Globally Understandable

Question 2

Convey easily: The main benefit of writing in a plain style is that we can easily convey the message. For example, if we found any message or any matter which language is very typical or not understood easily, then the purpose behind writing that matter will not be fulfilled. So it is the main reason to write any matter which can be easily understandable to everyone to convey the message easily.

Save Time: When any message, matter, or document will be short in plain English style it takes very less time to read & understand that matters so that the person takes the action quickly &easily which saves time.

Globally Understandable: As we know that English is the only language that can be used to communicate with people globally. Many companies have been working across their countries.So if it has been written in plain English writing style it will be better to understand & communicate their message or any matter with people around the world(Sharma et ., al 2012).

Question 3

Active Voice: John ate whole rice at lunch

Passive Voice: At lunch, whole rice was eaten by john.

Active Voice: Suzy cleaned the entire house.

Passive Voice: The entire house was cleaned by Suzy.

Question 4

(1)We can use passive voice in that condition where it’s important to indicate the action being performed, rather than who is performing it.

Example: Our house is being painted.

(2) We can use passive voice in that condition when we want to indicate or highlight the person or receiver of a particular action.

Example: Tom was beaten by his father.

(3) We can use passive voice in that condition when we are talking about the general truth or sentence.

Example: Company SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) is made to be followed.

Question 5

Simple Sentence: A Simple sentence is a sentence that includes the basic elements (Sub +Verb)

Example 1: The Bus was late.

In the above sentence “The Bus” = Subject, Was = Verb

Example 2: I looked for john at the airport

In above sentence “ I ” = Subject, Looked = Verb

Compound Sentences: A Compound sentence is a sentence that is made by two independent clauses connected with Coordinating conjunction.

We can learn the Coordinating conjunctions with the word “FANBOYS” – For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So.

Example 1: Jerry waited for his friend Tom but he was late.

Example 2: They left the Railway Station before I arrived, soI did not see them.

Question 6

It has come to our attention that arrears are left in your account. Perhaps anoversight on your part leads to some temporary pecuniary difficulty. It is the long-held policy of this company that client will be responsible for any bad debts & will not be able to access the credit further until the overdue amount has been received by the client. It is very important to look out this matter without losing any further time. If payment will not be received within a month an indeed will be posted to the same that the store will not be able to give you credit further(Baker, et al.,2016).

Question 7

In a Bad newsletter subject line or title not be clear or common so readers generally avoid reading the news

In publishing a bad newsletter the information will not be clear so the reader will confuse or not get understand to read that type of news.

In a Badnewsletter, the Language or matter that has been used in that news will not easily readable or understandable.

In a Bad newsletter, promotional content should be more rather than the information (Azizi., 2014)

Question 8

Interesting title with catchy lines: When we try to write a good newsletter its title & subject line should be more interesting & catching so that it can take the attention of more & more readers.

Provide accurate information: If we want to build the trust with readers, we have to provide reliable & accurate information to them. We should have proper information about the news that we put in the newsletter.

Promotional content should be less: When we try to publish a newsletter we make sure we provide the 90%ofof the news & Informative content & less than 10% of promotional content. Readers looking a valuable content that will provide some knowledge & information

Easy to read: When we going to publish the news the matter & language should be easy to understand. It saves the time &provides the accurate with the information which we want to publish

Recheck before publishing: Before publishing news, we need to recheck it always because if there is any grammatical &content-related error we can rectify it before time.
