Component of Writing
Jacob
(2008: 22) points out five kinds of components in writing. They are 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 (2005: 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.
