Four Simple Ways to Better Your Writing
Keep It Simple
My first tip for improving your writing is: keep it simple.
Now, I know it's better to keep things simple and do it well, rather than over-complicate(使过分复杂) everything and do it badly.
So, in English writing exams, you want to show off your English, but you want to show off your right English, not all this English that you don't know or haven't learnt yet.
Have a Collection of Set Phrases(固定搭配)
In order not to make mistakes, it's a really, really good idea to have a collection of set phrases and key words that you can use in the exam. Make sure that you have different ways to …
Compare:in the same way, at the same time
Give your opinion:from my point of view, in my view
Add information : in addition, besides
……
So, that's just a very brief list showing you exactly what you need to study to be fully prepared for any English writing exam.
Reduce Your Word Number
Use as few words as possible to reduce your word number.
Avoid pointless words like very, a lot. Replace them, instead, with a strong word. By using strong words, you can reduce your word number by a fair bit.
Another way is avoiding there is and there are. We want everything to be as clear as possible. Thus, you can increase the quality of your writing.
Check Your Work
Tip number four. Students will make some stupid mistakes when they're writing. After being asked to correct the mistakes, they will say, "We already know this. So easy!" and it's because they don't check their work.
I personally think it's much better if you write less and check more. Fewer words, high accuracy(准确率). Then you will make your writing better.
