Key ideas
How something is said — tone, volume, pace — changes how it's received.
Knowing how to shift between formal and casual talk helps you handle work and everyday situations.
Some situations need extra care — a hard topic, an upset person, a formal setting.
Understanding this helps you get your point across in real situations.
You pick the approach that fits the setting.
Watch out for
- Thinking only the words matter.
- Being too casual when formality is expected.
- Being blunt when care is needed.

Key ideas
Choosing texts that fit set criteria — length, topic, reliability — helps you meet a real need.
A useful inquiry starts with a clear question about something you need to find out.
Thinking about how you read a text helps you notice why you saw it that way.
Features like headings, images, and formatting make a text's message clearer and stronger.
Matching a text to criteria makes the reading useful.
Watch out for
- Grabbing any text regardless of the criteria.
- Picking a topic too big to research.
- Not thinking about how you read.

Key ideas
Writing or sketching an idea out helps you work out what you really think.
You'll make some texts alone and some with others, using strategies that help the job go well.
Simple strategies — cutting extra words, ordering points, defining terms — make writing clear and exact.
Getting thoughts on paper makes them clearer.
Working with others means doing your part and fitting it with theirs.
Watch out for
- Treating every piece of writing as final.
- Avoiding teamwork on writing.
- Writing in a vague or cluttered way.
