寫作六大秘籍推薦之四

法則四:文章由始至終的使用簡單的語句
    在你的寫作的時候,盡量的使用簡單的詞匯并寫作易懂的語句。這樣做,可以使讀者更清楚的明白你的立場和你文章的目的。要記住,SAT寫作不是考察你的生詞量,而是在考察你是否能將你的想法通過文字的方式傳遞給讀者。
    如果想做到這點,那么作者在寫作的時候,應(yīng)該避免使用那些無關(guān)緊要的詞匯,模糊不清的詞匯,和條例不清的語句。讓我們來看下面的例子;
    例1 To facilitate input by the maximum number of potential purchasers, questionnaires were designed and posted well in advance of the launch of the promotional marketing campaign.
    Improved: Before we began advertising, we designed and mailed a marketing survey to find out what customers were looking for.
    通過比較,我們可以清楚的明白,上面的句子,使用了一些不必要的詞匯,而導(dǎo)致句子看上去繁瑣難懂。下面的句子,經(jīng)過編改,變得簡單易懂。
    下面讓我們來做一些練習(xí)題;
    1. To develop an appropriate level of competency, users of the paintbrush practice their art endlessly.
