Different ways of communicating
There are four main ways of communicating:
A narrative is a sequence of events recounted either in the order in which they happened, or in an order chosen to emphasize certain aspects of the story.
Descriptive writing deals with appearances: what things look, sound, feel, taste, or smell like.
Observation and selection are key skills in effective descriptive writing.
Exposition involves explanations: It may require the description of patterns, accounting for how things work, how processes take place, or a more theoretical analysis of a situation.
Argument requires the expression of one or more points of view, often to persuade or influence others. It usually requires the writer or speaker to give an explicit or implicit explanation for the views expressed, based on evidence and/or reasoning.
