Teachers and other presenters usually talk faster than we can write. For example, teachers in high school usually talk at a rate

of about 100 to 200 words per minute. The average high school student can write about 15 to 20 words per minute. It is therefore important to do things that can help you write more quickly when taking notes in class. One way to write more quickly is to use the fewest words needed to capture the important information.
Look at the information provided by a teacher during an oral presentation:
Leaves help all kinds of plants to draw water up from the soil by a process that scientists call transpiration.
Now look at the shortened version of this information that follows. Notice that although there are fewer words, none of the important information has been lost.
Leaves help plants draw water from soil by transpiration.
For the following, rewrite the information using the fewest words needed without losing any of the important information.

What effect is achieved by the use of blank verse and enjambment in the poem
skad [1K]

The use of blank verse enjambment intensifies the contemplative ad meditative of the poem. Blank verse allows for freedom of form enhancing the tone of the poem which shifts from being hopeful to being hopeless

the use of enjambment helps hold the readers interest across line: to him in the love of nature holds communion with her visible forms she speaks a various language for her gayer hours
