Matching Pairs Writing: CharacteristicsOnline version This is an exercise aimed at identifying the characteristics of the written production. INSTRUCTIONS: MATCH THE COLUMNS by Guillermina Ocampo 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Writing needs to be TAUGHT and LEARNT. Reading is possible at any time and any speed. There is no room for fillers, repetitions and redundancy. The writer and the reader do not have contact in time and space. Something cannot be changed once it is written. Use of topic sentences, paragraphs, units, conventional rules of grammar, formal and precise vocabulary. The idea of an audience generates contact. It should be clear because immediate feedback is not possible. Never repeat anybody else’s ideas or words without acknowledgment. The reader can go over it as many times as wanted.
