My learnings

Chapter 10: Elaboration -How to develop your flow of thought from sentence to sentence.

Words combine to form images, then images combine to form the sentence, sentence combined to form the core ideas and this is elaboration. The process of elaboration is explained here. 

Grammar is the tool we use to tie all our ideas together. Process of developing flow of thought from sentence to sentence is called as elaboration. It involves 3 steps: choosing the core idea, choosing the way we want to elaborate it, choosing the way we are going to bridge it into core idea. 

            There are 2 ways of elaborating the sentence: 

1.  Reason why.
2. Narrative sequence. 

New things that I have learnt from this chapter: 

1. I learnt that even if the sentences are long/short the sentences should be understandable to reader.

2. I learnt that narrative sequence is the most common elaboration structure used. 

3. I learnt that we have to keep our first definition has simple as possible.

4. How is it summarized.

5. How is it transferred to write core idea.

6. Goal of the process should be mentioned in the beginning

Things that I already knew about this chapter 

1. I knew If we are dealing with complicated process that requires number of short, separate steps. 

2. I knew Process of developing flow of thought from sentence to sentence is called elaboration.

3. I knew that logic consists of facts. 

Mistakes that I made while solving this chapter 

1.I was watching T.V. while solving this chapter.

2. Took lot of time to solve all questions.

3. I used mobile phones while solving chapter.

4. I didn’t concentrated while reading the chapter.

I can change my blog by using learning points of this chapter and elaborating my thought by using a general rule of this chapter.

Future use in other subjects.

This can help me in exams in writing theory subjects. Even in final year projects I can learn a lot from it. It can help me in writing anything which is needed in our day to day life.

Chapter 9: How to use the clarity principle to build with, Symbolism, and suspense into your writing.

This chapter showed what is wit, symbolism and suspense and how to build it into our writing. It also showed how to use clarity principle. Only when we make it clear our purpose of communication is met.

I knew how to correct sentences that contains ambiguity. 

Mistakes that I made while solving this chapter 

I made minor error while solving this chapter. 

Correcting blog posts using this chapter 

I can correct my blog posts by adding multiple meanings to the words by using the 3 types of pivots- Wit, Pun and Suspense which can surely give spice to my blog even I can make it more funny or emotional.

Chapter 8: This chapter mainly says how to write sentence clearly

This chapter talks about how one can remove ambiguity in a sentence and start writing clearly 

New things learnt

Corrections in blog writing 

I can write my blog in such a way that it is easy for people to understand the concept. 

Applying to other subject we can apply this concept in our subjects while writing exams because corrector shouldn’t be confused of what we have written. Plus while speaking to somebody we have to be as clear and simple as possible because the listener shouldn’t understand it differently.

Chapter 7: How to avoid monotony-so that your reader enjoys your sentence at the same time that he or she learns from them.

This is about avoiding monotony. In this chapter we make the sentences repetitious and short and transform them into longer sentences which is still understood by the reader. 

New things learnt
1. I learnt when monotony occurs.
2. I came to know that forward signalling connectors are 1st cousins of dependent connectors. 

Things that I already knew about this chapter 

I knew only a few concepts about this chapter. 

Mistakes that I made while solving this chapter 

I found some difficulties solving the 5st question and even the 9thone. 

Writing blog posts using this chapter.

I can correct my blog by breaking the overlong sentences and transform into a shorter one. 

Applying to other subjects 

I can use this while writing exams I can make long sentences into a shorter one and make more sentences out of them. I can use this in all the subjects.

Chapter 6: How to write in simple terms -so that anyone can understand your most complicated thoughts

The main idea in this chapter is that if we meet any complicated thought then first we have to separate them then we have to add connectors to it to make it simpler. 

New things learnt 

1. I learnt to separate the images in the sentences and then add connector to it. 

2. I learnt that we have to make use of many connectors as possible to link sentences. 

3. I came to know that repetition is a vital tool in eliminating overloaded sentences. 

Things that I already knew about this chapter 

In this chapter I was introduced to new concepts.

Mistakes that I made while solving this chapter 

I made some minor errors while solving problems. 

Applying to other subjects 

This can be used for any subjects while writing especially even in talking this can be used. Overloading most of the things in one sentences will make it difficult for understanding. 

Chapter 5: How to choose the right length for your sentences

In this chapter we learn to get the right length i.e. the number of words for a sentence with simplicity and clearness. 

New things learnt 

I learnt that any sentences long or short must have a connector. 

Things that I already knew about this chapter 

1. I knew what we say or write must be understood by everyone. 

2. I knew that sentences can be of any length. 

Mistakes that I made while solving this chapter 

Few errors have occurred while completing exercises of this chapter. 

Writing blog posts using this chapter 

If there is any long sentences in my blog then I can make it shorter so that people can understand clearly and also when the ideas are complicated. By this way I can change my blog 

Applying to other subjects 

I can apply this to my subjects by writing small sentences if ideas are complicated then I can use it. It can help me in writing assignments, Summary of case studies, may be in Resume

Chapter 4: How to link sentences together

This chapter is all about connecting the first sentence to your second sentence. It also tells what are the types of connector, which we can use after each sentence. How to use them, what are its importance Etc. There are mainly 3 kinds of connector. We can use two or more of them. But we must use at least one such type of connector.

New things learnt 

1. I learnt that we must not put too much details in a sentence. 

2. I learnt what is condensing connector. 

3. I learnt that condensing connectors do not have to be used alone to link 2sentences together. 

Things that I already knew about this chapter 

1. I knew putting much detail into a single sentence the listener will surely not follow me. 

2. Pausing after every sentences. 

Mistakes that I made while solving this chapter 

I have made too many mistakes while solving condensing connector sentences. 

Blog posts using this chapter 

From this chapter I can correct my blog by making them condensing continually. i.e., Condensing connector is a single word from a thought and uses that word in the next sentence. From then I carry forward my views into a bigger picture.

Applying to other subjects 

I can surely use this in all the subjects mainly while writing reports, assignments. I can use this while talking to people also. 

Chapter 3: How to build understanding into every sentence

This chapter shows us how to put our picture word and connecting word together to make image and images together to make a sentence. Our reader or listener cannot memorize the same words which we used in our sentences because human beings don’t have tape record understanding they have only image understanding. When we say some sentences to others they will automatically convert that words into their own convenient images and when they have to transit it to other they translate that image into convenient words. Two or more people share the same image but they use different words to express it.

New things learnt 

1. I learnt that when you speak to somebody the other person should be able to get through images 

2. I learnt that when we study new we have to understand it through images not by memorising.

3. I learnt that understanding is image sharing. 

4. I learnt that we should not speak too fast. 

5. I learnt that we have to frame as small sentences as we can but clear. 

6. Not interrupting one image with another. 

Things that I already knew about this chapter 

1. Making one understand while speaking is the motive that I already knew. . 

2. I knew that we have to pause after every sentence we speak. 

3. I knew memorizing too many words at one time is not easy. 

Mistakes that I made while solving this chapter 

Removing the block from a sentence was difficult.

Writing blog posts using this chapter 

We take each sentence has an image and too much of it will make it worse. So I can surely make some corrections from my blog by cutting down more of my big sentences into a smaller one .So I came to know that creating more of images in a sentence is not good. It is difficult for one to understand it. 

Applying to other subjects 

We can use this idea while speaking to people. For subjects I can use this in exams, blog writing, while writing resumes and many more.

Chapter 2: How to put two words parts together

In this chapter three steps are involved to make our idea clear to other or to communicate with other. A person will have number of thoughts with him; he cannot express all of them together to other. First we should decide picture words and connecting words and then it should be put together in such a manner that other can easily understand it without any confusion. Giving pause is very important between our communications

New things learnt 

1.      I learnt that to frame a sentence we have to picture the idea say like a boat a river then we have to know the connecting words say like of, off, the etc. By this picturing the view as well as connecting words we should frame a sentence. 

2.      When talking to somebody our main intention is to convince somebody, so there has to be a pause at the end of each sentence. 

3.      I learnt that we can form sentences starting with if, of off, up etc. 

         Things that I already knew about this chapter.

1.      I knew giving pause in between our communication is very necessary because others can understand clearly what we are saying, if we go on speaking without any pause, confusions may arise in minds of listener.

2.      2. When the thought is clear, direct, it needs no other connecting words to make it perfectly clear.

Mistakes that I made while solving this chapter 

There were some difficulties that I faced when framing a sentences so I had to discussed with my friends.

Correcting blog posts using this chapter 

By this chapter one learns how to frame sentences through connecting words as well as picturing image. 

Applying to other subjects 

I can apply this concepts to write blog and also in writing assignments so that I don't got any dramatically errors. It may help me in writing exams.

Chapter 1: The Two Main Parts of Grammar.

The first chapter says us to forget everything about grammar which is taught to us in our school level. Noun, verb pronouns never make the sense. It will not help us to put our thoughts into the sentences. In all languages there will be only 2 working parts

New things learnt 

1. The 1st thing that I learnt was to forget everything that I learnt from about grammar. I came to know that there are only 2 main parts of grammar those are Picturing word and connecting word.

2. A picturing word is a word that carries a built in picture within it. 

3. A connecting word is a word that connects a picturing word. 

Things that I already knew.

1. Picture that comes to our mind when we hear the picture word is different from picture that comes to other’s mind. 

2. We see nothing when we hear any connecting words. 

3. Some picture words carries with it more than one kind of picture. 

Mistakes that I made while solving the questions 

1.      I was not able to understand certain questions.

2.      I could not able to think of answer to some of the questions.

Concept which is used to connect blog posts. 

I actually didn't use picture in my blog posts. But now I think I can correct it by using the concept of Picturing word as well as the connecting words. 

Applying in other subjects.

I can apply this mainly while writing assignments because there will be lot of mistakes. In Marketing there is an assignment of blog writing so i can use these 2 concepts.
