Revise the definitions:
Synonyms are words expressing the notion, but differing by certain additional characteristics.
E.g.: to look, to stare, to gaze.
The words differ by their emotional colourings.
Antonyms are words with contrasted meanings.
Paragraph is a single sentence or a group of sentences expressing and developing a basic idea or a particular phase of thought. It’s purpose is to indicate the beginnings and endings of a thought unit.
Style
The term is used in two different meanings.
In lexicology the term ‘ style’ defines a system of expressive means peculiar sphere of communication ( a friendly talk, an official letter, a poem, a scientific article, etc. )
According to the situation we may distinguish formal ( bookish, learned) and informal ( colloquial ) words.
These are many words that are independent of the sphere of communication. Such words are stylistically neutral.
The term ‘style’ may be also used with reference to the manner of writing of some particular author.
Summary is a representation of the contents of a complete work in brief. It’s expected to be about a sixth or a tenth of the original. It’s easier to make a summary of stories, novels and plays which have a plot.
Plot is a systematic arrangement of events by means of which writer builds up a meaningful situation and shows the characters. Usually a plot consists of good beginning, a middle, and an end.
Essay is a short prose composition ( 5-20 pages ) on a particular subject. Usually it is an explanatory and argumentative nature. Unity of essays is built up around the central idea. Unimportant details destroy the unity. Use the following words to connect paragraphs of an essay : on the one ( other ) hand, in the second place, on the contrary, at the same time, in particular, in spite of this, in the meantime, of course, in conclusion, to sum up, in addition, moreover, finally, after all, and truly, in other words.
Narrator is the person telling the story ( also called the I of the story ). The narrator is an assumed personality and should by no means be confused with the author of the story.
Plan is a list of points which you intend to develop in your writing in logical order or in order of importance with reference to time, to point of view and to situation.
Outline. The words “ plan” and “ outline” are sometimes used without sense discrimination. You make an outline when deal with a work already written by someone else. Your outline can be expressed in : 1. key- words or brief topic phrases ; 2. complete sentences; 3. groups of sentences containing the main idea.
