Writing Speeches And Letters
Übersicht
A speech and a letter have almost nothing in common on the page and one enormous thing in common underneath it: both are addressed. Somebody specific is on the other end, either sitting in front of you in a hall or opening an envelope at a desk, and that person's presence should be detectable in every paragraph. Writing that forgets who it is talking to is the single most reliable way to lose marks on the heaviest objective in this qualification.
This note treats the two forms as the pair they are. You will learn how to write for the ear, which cannot go back and re-read; how the pronouns I, you and we function as an engine rather than as decoration; how a letter's conventions signal competence in about fifteen seconds; and why controlled displeasure in a complaint gets what anger never will.
