BRIEF SUMMARY
Words are not just words, they are immensely powerful.Linguist J. L. Austin explanins how words act dividing them into two groups: constative and performative . Constative is the performative does, it describes true or false information and we are able to confirm this. When the information is incorrect, we talk about false constative. Performative denotes action, it does something. It acts upon the word and convey a message. Some words deserve action so we refer to speech act.

Also, the writer should bear in mind the structure to avoid distraction from the reader. The focus is on the four functions: Paragraph introducer: sentences establish the topic focus of the paragraph. The paragraph developer present examples or details to support ideas.
