Pub Talk and the Kings English, like Lesson 2, is also a piece of expository writing. The thesis is expressed in the opening sentence of paragraph 1 Conversation is the most sociable of all human activities. The last sentence in the last paragraph winds up the theme by pointing out what is the bane of good conversation .. . talking sense. The title of the piece isnt very aptly chosen. It misleads the readers into thinking that the writer is going to demonstrate some intrinsic or linguistic relationship between pub talk and the Kings English. Whereas the writer, in reality, is just discoursing on what makes good conversation. The writer feels that bar conversation in a pub has a charm of its own and illustrates his point by describing the charming conversation he had with some people one evening in a pub on the topic, the Kings English. The Art of Good Conversation would, perhaps, have been a better title for this piece. Paragraph 5 is a transition paragraph. The writer now passes from a general discourse on good conversation to a particular instance of it. But one feels the transition a bit abrupt. It could have been a bit smoother. Furthermore, in a short expository essay one does no expect to find an abundance of simple idiomatic expressions side by side with copius literary and historical allusions. However, on mature reflection one might conclude that the writer deliberately wrote this piece in a conversational style to suit his theme. Hence we have his loose organization - title, transition paragraph, his digressions (his reflections on the history and meaning of The Kings English , his love tor dictionaries and the salons of 18th century Paris).
