The kind of writing activity in which teachers provide questions to be answered, words or pictures to be described is free composition. The kind of communication that focus on how to express oneself correctly and effectively in relation to the topic of writing or speech, the audience, and the purpose of communication is rethorical. Incorrect forms or uses that occur because the learner simply does not know what the appropriate form or use is the definition given for slips.

Chapters 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 A: Write True or False according to the corresponding statements. (one point) 1. ( ) It is important to devote time to teaching letter writing because letters are the most widespread forms of written communication. The information about the events of the day or ideas about those events are kept in lists. Controlled writing is different to free writing because writing content or form is supplied. The type of writing that is less-time consuming and easier to mark is free writing. Material for controlled composition is available in specialized textbooks and short reading ESL texts passages. The kind of composition that is a good follow-up exercise to a reading passage is guided composition. The process of finding appropriate and relevant details and arranging them in order is known as writing. When analyzing a reading passage the student needs to ask questions about a piece of writing. Written comments should first be based on praise of the strengths. The only way to find out what a student wanted to say in a written exercise is by guessing what the student meant. In error correction, students need to be able to find and correct their own mistakes. Sending and receiving messages is a way to interact.
