1st Quarter
Joshua Dy M. Ajoc
“The Writers: Step One”
It all started on a certain day on the first week of June at 2:00 o’clock in the afternoon. “Good afternoon Mrs. Ubas! We’re glad to see you. Mabuhay!” all of us greeted to our elective teacher. After some brief introductions, then, our journey began…..
Advanced Technical Writing in my mind before we took our first class was just similar to Basic Research, a subject that we held during the second semester of my Grade 7 days. And I was right! ATW was similar to Basic Research, but then, it is on an “average round”, as what some students say. This elective came in technicality and in advance because it has strict observance of rules and standards. And now, as the 1st quarter ends, I can fully scent the start of our journey as writers or authors of tomorrow.
Letters, letters, letters… Every day we discuss about the lessons of using a sheet of paper and a pen to make a letter. Now, let me be factual. There are 2 classes of a letter-the formal and informal. There are also basic parts of a letter- the Heading where we can find the address of the sender, together with the date the letter was created; the Greetings wherein we will greet our sender; the Body of letter, which is divided into three paragraphs-the Greetings, Purpose and the Expectation. Without this, your letter is senseless. Next is the Closing greeting, and finally, please don’t forget to affix your Signature.
On the Business letters, we will only add the Recipient’s Address, where we can find the address of the person whom you will send. There are examples of BLs- the Resume/Bio-data; Application letters; Proposals; Letter of Inquiry; Excuse letter; Letter of Intent; and the Resignation letter. There are also classifications of BLs- the Information Letters; Sales Letters; Problem Letters; and the Goodwill Letters. I am sorry if there are many things to be memorized.
Talking about some guidelines, components,
