The Component of Writing
Jacobs (2008: 22) points out five
kinds of components in writing. Theyare content, organization, language use,
vocabulary, and mechanics.
a.
Content
Content of writing should be understandable.
Therefore, the readers can understand the message in the text and got
information from it. There is a thinking that can be measure in connecting with
component. The composition should contain one central purpose, should have
unit, should have coherence and continuity, and should be adequately develop.
b.
Unity
Rijlaarsdam. et.al (2015: 17)
defines Unity means that text content
and structure both relate to the writing assignment. The text
deals with the topic, it is oriented to the writing-goal and the audience
and it reflects the essential features of an informative text. Since
participant’s assignment analysis is controlled by the researcher, this
criterion will not play an important role
The writing regards to have good unity, if it has some
main ideas and the sentences contained in it develop that idea. The main idea
is stated in the topic sentences and each or every supported sentences and
related to that idea of the topic sentences. If a writer wants his writing is
unified, he or she should not include the sentences that do not support the
main idea of the topic sentences.
c.
Completeness
Completeness, a complete
paragraph provides information well enough and it develops the truth for the
reader. In complete paragraph, the writers provide the readers with restricted
topic sentences and sufficient information to clarify analyze and support the
main idea that which is stated in the topic.
Writing is said to have completeness if the main idea
have been explained and developed fully completeness. The controlling idea with
develop thoroughly by these of particular information. It is relative to know
how complex or general the topic sentences by having a complete writing. It is
expected that the content of writing will be clear and understandable for
readers.
d.
Organization
Organization is the overall structure of piece of
writing. The most workable method to organized essay is to state the main idea
of the paper in an opening paragraph and the devote a separate paragraph in the
body to each major division of thought.
Organization concerns with the way of how the writer
arranges and organize their idea and their massage in writing from which
consist of same partial order. In writing, the writer should know about what
kinds of paragraph that they want tow writer and what topic that they want to
tell to the readers. It must be supported by cohesion.
e.
Vocabulary
Vocabulary is
the list of word and sometimes plus usually arranged in alphabetical order that
expired at distally, grouchy. Vocabulary is an area which gives the students
various kinds of learning problems, including spelling. It is also an area
where it can be useful for them to have reference lists, in the form of lexical
sets, such as clothes, furniture, food, etc.
f.
Mechanics
The use of mechanics is due to
capitalization, punctuation, and spelling appropriately. These aspects are very
important, it leads the readers to understand, to recognize immediately. The
use of favorable mechanic in writing will make readers easy to group the
conveying ideas or the message to the written materials.
