OVERVIEW
In this topic, we are going to discuss paragraph and precis writing in which we will see their meaning, guidelines, and format. But before we start from it we will discuss the differences between them. Let us start with this topic in brief.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PARAGRAPH AND PRECIS WRITING
Here we are going to see the difference between paragraph and precise. So, paragraph writing refers to how we write or express our complete thoughts and ideas in a series of sentences. Which is written in detail and with full information. Whereas precise writing always conveys the information in a concise, and effective manner. It often delivers the key points of the most important paragraph.
PARAGRAPH WRITING
Paragraph writing is a form of writing that is used to give information about one single topic, where we discuss all its pros and cons with a conclusion. Let us discuss how it is framed in other parts.
FORMAT
Here we will discuss the format of paragraph writing which includes three important things. Let us discuss this briefly.
Topic sentence
Here, when we start writing a paragraph firstly we start with an introduction to the topic where we focus on the main ideas and the purpose of paragraph writing.
Supporting sentence
Secondly, we will give support to our topic by giving detailed information, and some examples through which the core ideas of the topic can be easily understood.
Concluding sentence
At last, we will conclude our paragraph with main points and ideas, which give knowledge of the paragraph in brief.
So, here we provide all these structured processes of paragraph writing which impress the reader.
PRECIS WRITING
Precis writing refers to the summary of a long paragraph in which it focuses on the main points and ideas of the paragraph. To write a precis one should have read the paragraph with full attention through which they can easily provide a summary of the paragraph with main points and ideas based on their understanding. Let us discuss some essential ways of precis writing in another part.
FORMAT
So, there are three ways through which we can write effectively. Let us discuss this briefly.
Reading
Reading is a very essential component in precis writing. If you are not able to understand the paragraph at once you should read it twice, or thrice for better understanding. It will help you to understand the meaning and essential points of the paragraph. It also helps you to decide on a title related to the paragraph.
Writing
In this part, you should prepare a draft of the paragraph, in which you will summarise in one-third of its length. In the summary, you should contain the main points and essentials of the topics. If your first draft is too long and jerky one should prepare others with all essential components within a short length.
Revision
Here, when you have prepared your second draft carefully, then write it in your fair writing. If there are any grammatical mistakes and incorrect spelling so correct it and write it in your writing.
CONCLUSION
So, at the end of this topic, we have seen how our communication can be effective by these methods and techniques. We can provide our thoughts and ideas in long paragraphs as well as in summary as precis writing.
