Writing is not just a basic skill Different types of paragraphs
Here we have some definitions of different types of paragrahs:
Persuasive:
A persuasive paragraph gives the writer's opinion on the topic and tries to get the reader to agree with it . When you write a persuasive paragraph , you should give facts and examples to back up your opinion. Otherwise you won't persuade or convince your reader that your opinion is the right one.
Expositoy:
To give information about a topic. It may explain ideas, give directions, or show how to do something. An expository paragraph uses transition words (such as first , second, and most importantly in the model below). These words help guide the reader through the explanation.
Narrative:
You tell a story by sharing the details of an experience come alive.
Descriptive:
Paragraph describes a person , place , thing , or an idea. When you write a descriptive paragraph, you should use words that help your readers see , hear , smell, taste , and feel what you are describing. You should tell your readers what colors things are how big things are , what things sound like , ect. Your readers should feel as if they are right there with you.


Tips Writing a good story

When you write a story make sure you include a setting , plot , atmosphere , character traits and goals. Try not to introduce all the characters at once one point in the story. Make sure you explain the characters with colorful language, such as intelligent , ambitious , contientous , etc., instead of words such as nice , smart , kind, ect.Before you write your story think about what type of story it's going to be such as, gothic (scary), mystery , and comedy. Your story should always have a conclusion at the end of your story. You should have mature vocabulary in your story. This means that you should expand your resources in explaining what words mean. Also, use proper punctuation. Punctuation is what you end your sentences in, such as . ? !. Put a "?" when the sentence asks something , put a period when the sentence is stating , declaring , or demanding something. Use an "!" when the sentence is saying something exciting or shocking. Most importantly use colorful language.

In your story you should try to use similes. A simile is a figure of speech that uses the words "as" or "like." Figures of speech are used like adjectives or adverbs. They modify or describe a person , place , thing , or action word with a colorful and often visual term or phrase. Creative writers and poets make good use of these.
For example:
- as soft as old leather
- as musical as a flute
- sparkled like diamonds.

In your story you should also include metaphors. Metaphors are figures of speech that compare two things but do not use the words "like" and "as." These colorful phrases are used like adverbs or adjectives to describe people , places , things , or actions. You must learn not to take them literally but to enjoy their use. For example:"at night my bedroom is a real icebox or her heart is a fountain of kindness"
you need to use colorful language if you want to make your story interesting and keep your reader occupied.


Writing Friendly Letters
Parts of a friendly letter:
1. The Heading includes your address and the date. Write it in the upper right-hand corner.
2. The Salutation or greeting usually begins with the word Dear and is followed by the name of the person who will receive the letter. Lace a comma after the name. Write a salutation at the left-hand margin, two lines below the heading.
3. The body of the letter contains your thoughts and ideas. Begin writing on the second line after the salutation. Keep the paragraphs short for easy reading.
4. Write the closing two lines below the body of your letter. Capitalize only the first word and follow it with a commas. Put your signature under the closing.
