Key Concept: Communication

Communication is the exchange or transfer of signals, facts, ideas, and symbols. It involves conveying information or meaning effectively. In this chapter, you will explore how both oral and written interviews can be used to communicate ideas.

Related Concepts: Structure and Purpose

Structure refers to the organization, pattern, and elements of a text in any format. It helps us understand meaning by providing a clear framework. For example, a written structure may include an introduction, development, and conclusion, as seen in formal essays. You will examine how writers use different structures to convey their messages.

The Purpose of a text defines its function. A text can narrate, describe, inform, persuade, explain, or instruct—such as when creating a poster to promote an idea.
