Read the following passage carefully and answer the given questions
Style is a way of writing, a manner of expressing one's thoughts and feelings in words. The matter remaining the
same, the manner may change. It may be high sounding It may be simple and yet emotional. It may be plain, just a
reader because of variations in style.
Some simple people think that style, or what they might call 'good style' or 'literary style', is something that can be
added to plain thoughts or a plain statement of facts, as icing can be put on to a cake
. A student once said to me,
have written my report, but I have brought it to you to put some style into it." I could not put style into it
. It was
already written in a certain style, though it may not have been a very good style. I could have re-written it in a
different style. Then it would have been my arrangement of facts, my choice of words, my own style. As a man
thinks and feels
, so will he write. If his thoughts are muddled, his style will also be muddled. If his thoughts are clear
and sharp, his writing will be clear and sharp.
Raymond Chapman states 'Bad writing is caused not so much by mistakes in grammar as by weakness in style
Weakness in style here means clumsiness in expression, lack of precision and accuracy, and anything that hinders
the writer from conveying his meaning clearly to the reader.
Style in this sense means 'Clean English'. I choose this term because it seems to me the best way of describing
English that is clear and doing its job of conveying meaning clearly to the reader. It has nothing to do, of course,
with decency or indecency. The commonest weakness of all writers of English, weather in England or outside it, is
lack of cleanliness in the use of the language. All writers of English, even those without the faintest trace of literary
ambition, should try to keep their English as clear as they can. Words are the tools of thought. If they become rusty
and dirty, and lose their sharp points, thinking itself becomes less efficient. Man needs language for the control of
his environment, and, the cleaner his language, the better his control, it is well to remember that it is our duty to
civilization to keep our language as clean and sharp as we can.
