Ten Important Hints on Writing

Posted by Hala J.M on November 2, 2012

1- Before writing anything make a short plan of your entire  composition ,using any help ( pictures -videos - quotes .....)

2-Use only words and constructions with which you are familiar, or use  some help from  good dictionaries to look up the new words and how you can use them correctly in the context of your writing.

3-Avoid flowery and pompous language .  The best writers of English  express themselves in simple and clear language .

4-Avoid abbreviations. The place for these are in notes and chats.

5-Make your writing interesting by illustrating what you say with examples.

6- Do not begin writing a sentence until you know how it will continue  and end .

7-Begin a paragraph for each new topic .

8-Pay close attention to mechanical skills ( grammar-spelling and 

   punctuation)

9-Do not switch tenses of the verbs unless the sense requires you to .

10- Check your work thoroughly .

    Thanks dear teacher Hala for your good topics but I wanna ask :

    I always use my own words that are always repeated in my writing but I feel that my writing  has the same vocabs so the same flavor ... It is my problem in writing , so is it better to use synonym dictionary to have new words?

    Thanks

      @ Bright- rubies:

      I think synonym dictionary can help you ,but you have to pay attention to the examples and the general context ,some synonym can't give you the exact meaning!

      Learning more vocabularies can be by:

      -Reading .It's the key in developing new vocabularies .

      -Read and memorize with the use of new words regularly .

      -Try to write aside the new words and study it consistently and use them in sentences from time to time then day by day your vocabularies will increase .

      Thank you for sharing your comment ! Best wishes dear !
