KEYS TO LEARNING ENGLISH:   
How to Develop Your Writing Skills (part 5 of 6)

英文寫作技巧 (六段中的第五段)


•Ban bland writing—Good writing tastes good. Use variety in style and word choice to add “spice” to your writing.
To improve your writing, you need feedback. If you ask a friend or teacher to read your writing, however, don't ask him or her to “correct all the mistakes in your paper.”
Just ask the reader to help you identify your strong and weak areas.

•避免寫索然無味的事——好的文章是很有味道的。在寫作時,變化一下風格和措辭,可以使文章生色不少。
想要改進寫作,你需要有人給你意見。但是,如果你請朋友或老師讀你的文章,不要叫他們幫你「改正文章裡所有的錯誤」。只要請讀的人為你指出優缺點即可。


⊙Word Bank

bland (adj) 平淡無味的;呆板的
feedback (n) 回應

The Day's Phrase
