You have studied several forms of technical writings (TR) texts. Choose two kinds of TR text (e.g. formal letters ‘identify the kind’, editorials, instructional manuals, etc) and identify their characteristics. Talk about the format, style, language, audience, purpose, message etc. Although it is permissible to consult the uploaded materials or any others, you need to use your own language to describe the selected forms. Note this is a theoretical question; you don’t need to talk about a specific text, but general information of what the selected type of texts should look like in terms of the above criteria. Reference materials for TR types are found on the additional files uploaded.
