課程筆記

Purpose and forms

  • To inform is to give facts clearly; to explain is to say how or why something happens; to advise is to recommend what someone should do.
  • Typical forms: leaflets, guides, articles, reports, emails and letters, and web pages. The audience might be students, parents or the public.

Different purposes, one guide

Language and tone

  • Be clear, organised and accurate. Choose tone and register for the particular purpose and readers; young readers may need a serious tone for a serious subject.
  • Advice may use imperatives, modal verbs and direct address. Explanation can connect causes and consequences: “because” introduces a reason; “so” and “as a result” often introduce a result.
  • Avoid slang, filler and exaggeration unless the audience suits it.

Structure and presentation

  • Use a clear title, headings and subheadings, bullet points and short paragraphs where the form allows.
  • Begin with a purpose statement ("This guide will help you..."), group information logically, and end with a summary or next step.
  • Use accurate, relevant facts and examples. Verify statistics and avoid presenting hypothetical figures as research findings. An anecdote may help if it illustrates rather than replaces the explanation.

Checking

  • Does every paragraph have one clear point? Is the order logical? Have you used the correct form and register? Have you proofread for accuracy?
