Writing is one of the most prized academic art of the human race and an intellectual asset. It is the foundation of learning, repository of literature and the most effective means of communication. Even a child makes progress through communication, comprehension and consciousness.
A child starts his education with listening to others talk. Then, he begins to understand the meaning of the words spoken by others. This exercise evolves it into a thinking creature. Without developing thinking faculty it won’t understand. Then, the baby itself begins to speak words which delights its parents. Upto this point evolutionary process is the teacher. With guidance then, baby learns to read and it is followed by writing. That is how things work.
This formula applies to learners also. The students and adults follow the same progressional route of listening, understanding, thinking, reading and then writing. For an adult the listening also involves observation. The child too looks around while listening at primary stage but it has little observation power while an adult brain is fed valuable inputs by eyes and the ears. Then inputs are analysed and processed by the brain with its thinking power. The thinking is further augmented with discussions on the particular topic with others; thus learning about what the others know. Reading provides great inputs on any subject because the written word is a key to all the knowledges man has learnt so far and keeps learning and wording it.
These processes lead one to a stage where one can write down his own processed thoughts or ideas in one’s own words in a proper and presentable manner. Writing is one of the most common activities of one’s life. One is required to write something or the other all the time. The better you write, the better image of yourself you will create.
The precis, comprehensions, paragraphs, compositions, essays and letters are the important exercises to hone your writing skills and improve your thinking process. Hence, go through the chapters of this book carefully. Learn the writing genres, styles, norms, basic rules, formats and prevailing practices. These exercises will step by step make you a better and still better writer. You also will understand better whatever you read.
