Revision

In revision first recall the speech styles: colloquial, artistic, publicistic, scientific and official. Each style differs in its aim, language and place of use; stylistic colouring may be functional or emotional-expressive. In vocabulary compare synonyms, homonyms, paronyms, dialect words, obsolete words, terms and idioms. In syntax revisit word order, sentence types, rhetorical questions, vocatives, introductory and inserted units, compound sentences, direct and indirect speech, text and quotation. In an exam-style question first determine the style of the text, then answer by naming and justifying the language means and punctuation marks. Make a list of your mistakes and relearn them.
