speaking and writing: conversing and composing


SPEAKING ANS WRITING: CONVERSING AND COMPOSING

It is know that the communication is the most important tool for people to understand each other. There are two ways to communicate: by writing an speaking.

                The text “Speaking and writing: conversing and composing” focuses on the differences between speaking and writing.

                We find many situations and we act according to them, according to the context in which we find ourselves.

                Communication also depends on the relationship between sender and receiver, because they are not always the same.

                We know that speaking is more informal than writing. When we speak we use short, imperative and exclamatory sentences, we also use the interjections and the contractions and our pronunciation can be modified. Like we are producing at the moment we can forget something and we start to repeat our phrases. The vocabulary in speech is simple and the people who is in the conversation tend to be friendly. In speaking the body language helps to understand better the conversation and occurs a feedback immediately.

In other hand when the communication is in written form, it is more formal than in speaking. In writing we use long and complex sentences, it is not usually the use of interjections and contractions. The written ideas must be organized and the punctuation is important. We have the chance to think before writing, so we cannot repeat and repeat the same idea. The vocabulary use in writing is formal. The writers, and readers have a distant relationship and the writers do not have an immediate feedback. A message which is in  written from has an open interpretation.

Some examples of those things are:

When we are speaking with a friend, we do not use the same vocabulary than when we speak with a teacher and if we write a letter we cannot say something that we could say if we speak.

The kind of writing in an office is different from the school essays and we do not use the same vocabulary than if we would go to ask a request.
