Writing may refer to two activities: the inscribing of characters on a medium, with the intention of forming words and other constructs that represent language or record information, and the creation of material to be conveyed through written language. A speech is a tool to convert thoughts into utterances carrying out specific meaning that when combined influences the general overview of the problem discussed. First masters of speech were born in first democratic states like Ancient Greece and Rome. The word “forum” we see online dozens of times a day originates from Greek “forum” (a place for public meetings and discussions). This is the place where ancient Greeks used to express their attitudes and opinions in the public. Free speech as we know is the first characteristic feature of democracy. http://www.articles.travelmycity.com/Writing-Speaking/index.htm Your copyright information Imagine writing a few words- several times a day- and waiting for checks for $10- $50- two hundred dollars or more to pop through your letterbox some time soon.
