Construct Effective sentences &
Paragraph
sImportant characteristic to consider are length,
unity ,coherence ,and emphasis
Length- Generally, short sentences are preferred, Thesuggested average sentences should be about17 to 20.
Because verity in sentences adds interest to writing,
Adopt a range of from 3 to 30 or more words.
Unity- It means that you have one main idea , andany other ideas in the sentences must be closely
related to it .
8/8/2019 (Chapter-2 )- 7 c's of Effective Communication
28/38
Coherence- In a coherent sentence the words are correctly
are arranged so that the ideas clearly express the intended
meaning, Place the correct modifier as close as possible to the
word it is supposed to modify.
e. g- Unclear: His report about managers, broken down by
age & gender.
Clear: His report focused on age & gender of managers.
Emphasis- The quality that gives force to important parts of
sentences & paragraphs is emphasis.
e.g. -Little emphasis: the airplane finally approached the
sound & it became very difficult to control.Better emphasis: As it finally approached the speed of
sound, the airplane became very difficult to control.

At the core of correctness is proper grammar,punctuation and spelling.
however, message must be perfect grammatically
and mechanically. The term correctness, as applied to business
messages also mean three characteristics

8/8/2019 (Chapter-2 )- 7 c's of Effective Communication
33/38
we suggest that there are three level of language
1. formal
2. informal
3. substandard.Take a quick guess: what kind of writing isassociated with each level? What is the style of each?

34/38
Formal writing is often associated with scholarlywriting: doctoral dissertations, scholarly, legaldocuments, top-level government agreements andother material where formality is demanded.
Informal writing is more characteristic of business
writing. Here you use words that are short, well-known and conversational as in this comparison list:
More Formal less formalParticipate JoinEndeavor try
Ascertain find out Utilize useInterrogate question

head of the sender to a receiver. Our goal is to be as precise aspossible, which means checking and double-checking and double-checking to ensure that the figures, facts and words you use are
correct.A good check of your data is to have another person read and
comment on the validity of the materialFigures and facts Verify your statistical data Double-check your totals
Avoid guessing at laws that have an impact on you, the sender andyour Have someone else read your message if the topic involves data.
Determine whether a fact has changed over time
