Assignment: Vocabulary and Letter Writing Skills

One-Word Substitutes:
One-word substitutes are single words that replace longer phrases for clarity and
brevity.
Examples: autobiography (life story written by oneself), orphan (a child without
parents),
and bachelor (an unmarried man).

Strong and Weak Forms of Words:


Strong forms are clearly pronounced and stressed, often when a word is spoken
alone.
Weak forms are used in connected speech and are softer or shorter. For example,
can is strong in “Yes, I can,”
but weak in “I can go.”

Types of Letters:
Letters are broadly categorized as formal, informal, and semi-formal.
Formal letters are used for business or official purposes, informal for personal
communication,
and semi-formal for respectful yet personal messages.

Conclusion:
A good command of vocabulary through one-word substitutes and awareness of
strong and weak forms
helps improve both spoken and written English. Understanding different types of
letters allows us to communicate
more appropriately based on the situation. These skills together form a strong
foundation for effective,
confident, and professional communication.
