The Seven Cs of a Good Letter
What is the secret of writing a good letter? Here are two main ones. Don't try to be fancy. Don't try to impress your reader. You will be successful if you follow these seven Cs.
Clear. Use short, direct sentences. Try your tone as if the reader were right there with you. Above all, don't use an introduction.
Correct. Don't guess, even for spelling. Refer to your dictionary. If you need to, check a reference book too. Use them as much as you need to.
Complete. Don't scatter(分散) your points. This is good organization too.
Courteous. Be friendly rather than overly casual. Present your information nicely even if you are complaining about something. In all letters, treat others as you want them to treat you.
Concise. Make each point as clearly and briefly as you can.
Conversational. This is really the secret of good writing. Such a letter has a natural, friendly tone. Let your personality come through naturally.
Considerate. Write about what you believe the reader needs or wants to know. Try to be helpful. This will build good feeling toward you.
The seven Cs are about writing letters. But how about school papers? Use the seven Cs. Write as if you are talking to your teacher or professor. You'll be surprised. You'll almost instantly become a good writer. And you might even enjoy writing from now on.
A. Just "talk" to the person.
B. Make them easy to understand.
C. Make sure what you say is correct.
D. Include long sentences in your letter.
E. Writing should not be taken too seriously.
F. Think of the readers' point of view as you write.
G. Finish one point completely before going on to the next.
