Top Tips for Better Writing

There are many different types of writing, such as essays, letters and speeches. Whatever your reason is and whatever your style, there are some universal tips that will help you improve your writing:

Be clear about your purpose

The most basic question to ask yourself before you start is why you are writing. In an essay or assignment, your purpose is to convey information and draw conclusions. But if you are writing a business report, you may want to make recommendations(建议). 1.

Start with a plan

2.The result is often disjointed writing with parts that don’t connect. Whatever you are writing, creating a clear plan is the first step to getting your message across quickly and in the most effective way.

Guide readers through what you write

Your task is to help readers understand your message quickly and precisely.3.Each sentence, each paragraph should be relevant to what comes before and what comes after. You should use words and phrases that connect to show these connections.

4.

Your aim in writing is to communicate ideas and information to other people, and you must keep that in mind with every word and sentence you write. Constantly ask yourself who you really write the information for.

Write for the ear, not for the eye

Once you’ve finished a draft of your speech, practice reading it out loud. 5.Revise so you are more comfortable giving your speech. You want to sound natural, no matter what the occasion is.

A. Write for readers, not yourself

B. Write for the aim, not for the words

C. It sounds robotic, and employers hate it.

D. Far too often people write without a plan.

E. You’ll hear anything that sounds awkward.

F. Whatever it is, keep your purpose in mind at all times to avoid going off topic.

G. To do this, it is necessary to show them clearly how the different parts relate to each other.

 

Hi Danny,

Greetings from the Great Barrier Reef! I’m riding on a sailing boat with some relatives as I write this. We’re diving here all next week. The reef is located in the Coral Sea that is off the northeast coast of Australia.

The reef is made up of many corals. Corals are very hard and made of many tiny animals called “polyps” that look like underwater flowers. The corals need help to eat. They have a special relationship with other small animals, “algae” (藻类), that take in sunlight and make energy for the coral. It’s the algae that give color to the corals. Because algae need sunlight, the corals are very close to the surface of the water.

Together, the many corals create a magical environment. They make a home for the animals that live in the sea. When I went diving the other day, I saw all types of different animals-dolphins, turtles (海龟) and sea snakes. I was surprised at being able to see some fish I see only in movies, like clown fish (小丑鱼). As I am diving, I can feel the spirit of this magical place. It seems that these animals aren’t surprised to see me. Maybe they think I’m another fish!

Sadly, according to scientists, the Great Barrier Reef is dying because the water is getting warmer due to global warming. As the ocean gets warmer, the algae that live in the corals are cut off from the food they need for making energy. As a result, they leave the corals, and the corals die and lose their color. We see many dead white corals when we dive. We need to stop global warming and keep the water from getting hotter!

See you soon,

Gloria

1.Where is Gloria writing from?

A.A sailing boat. B.Great Barrier Reef.

C.A hotel room. D.A relative’s house.

2.What do algae do for corals?

A.They give sunlight to the corals.

B.They make energy for the corals to grow.

C.They capture fish for the corals to eat.

D.They allow the corals to move around.

3.Why is the coral reef described as “magical”?

A.The author had never been there before.

B.The area can allow the animals to do magical things.

C.It’s another world with many animals and colors.

D.Corals grow only at the Great Barrier Reef.

4.Why is the writer sad about the future of the corals?

A.She fears they will eventually die from global warming.

B.When corals die, they lose their color and turn to a boring white.

C.Not enough people will have a chance to see this magical place.

D.She’s sad that the corals and algae will break their relationship.

 

    Forget losing weight or saving money—we suggest one simple task to add to your list of inspiring New Year's decisions: read a book. Trust us, and your brain will thank you. Not only does reading increase the amount of daily pleasure in your life, but it could also delay dementia (痴呆) and even help you live longer.

But still, picking the perfect novel isn't easy. Thankfully, Business Insider asked a Harvard professor to recommend the one book he thinks every student should read in 2019—and we suggest adding it to your list, too. (No time for all the books on your list? Here's a shortcut: Read the endings to some of the world's most famous books, instead.)

Steven Pinker, Professor of Psychology at Harvard, recommends The Internationalists by legal scholars Hathaway and Shapiro. The book makes a surprising statement that the Kellogg-Briand Paris Peace Pact (条约) of 1928, which declared war illegal, has caused a steady drop in war throughout history.

“But in their fascinating and evidence-rich book, they make a lifelike case,” Pinker said. “And like The Clash of Civilizations and The End of History, the book presents a sweeping vision (视野) of the international scene, making sense of many developments in the news and recent history.”

Other professors at Harvard recommended classics like Anna Karenina by Tolstoy, as well as Just Mercy by Stevenson, The Theory of Moral Sentiments by Adam Smith, and Robot-Proof by Joseph Aoun.

So, go ahead and give (at least) one of these books a read in 2019! And while you're at it, you should add the following 20 books you really should have read by now to your list, too…

1.Which has the closest meaning to the underlined word “shortcut” in the 2nd paragraph?

A.A time-saving way to read books.

B.A lazy person's way to read books.

C.A quick way to know about endings of books.

D.A wise way to deal with too many books to read.

2.What or who has reduced the number of wars throughout history?

A.The Paris Peace Pact. B.The Internationalists.

C.Hathaway and Shapiro. D.A wide vision of the international scene.

3.What may be written in the next or last paragraph of the passage?

A.More advice on reading books.

B.The names of the 20 books recommended.

C.The main contents of the 20 books recommended.

D.The brief introduction of the 20 books recommended.

Finally, the only person who can truly affect your body positivity is you. 5.but don't give up, you will succeed sooner or later. Remember that everyone is short of confidence sometimes.

    We are taught from childhood to be polite, civilized (有教养的) and considerate (体贴的) , yet many of us forget this as we grow up.

That's not the case for Yang Yang, a 14 - year - old from Changsha, Hunan province. She has moved many people by being honest and considerate. It was a day in April when Yang was getting ready to eat in a local restaurant. But then she accidentally dropped a plate full of food. She stood still and was at a loss. The restaurant manager was nice. She comforted Yang, saying "It doesn't matter. We can give you another meal for free."

Everyone thought that this small matter would end like that. But, when Yang left after eating, the waiter found 75 yuan in cash and a note on the table. The note said, "I'm sorry that the money might not be enough to make up for your loss, but that's all I have. Thank you for your kindness." The manager was deeply touched after reading the note. The money was probably a week's worth of pocket money for the girl.

The manager posted about this on social media and called for a search for this young girl. Many newspapers, including People's Daily, re-posted it and joined the search. Finally, Yang was found after her teacher heard about the story.

However, Yang thought it was not a big deal. "I have accepted other people's help and should make up for their kindness, " she said.

People's Daily commented (评论) on the story, saying that it showed the good in people. The manager was considerate and cared about Yang's situation, while Yang was grateful and responsible.

    I live a SOHO life. I work at home and my company has closed several offices. Some companies that introduced home working didn't have much success. I don't think they should go back to making all their workers working in offices. Instead, it would be better to retrain their managers. Managers who deal with home workers have to be able to develop team spirit among home working people. They must be in regular communication with people in their teams, but not always be checking-up on them.

Simon

Talking with my coworkers at the office is enjoyable. However, most of the office talks are time-wasting and nothing to do with work. Sometimes it is very troublesome. I have worked at home for over 20 years. Every three months I have to return to my office for a meeting. I quite enjoy the time spent there. It's all good fun, but I am really surprised to see how much time people waste there. I haven't had great success in my job, but I've been at home to see my children grown up.

James

I used to hate working at an office. People stood behind me and talked loudly. I am a soft- ware developer and I have to focus on my work. I found I work much better at home where no one breaks my thinking. However, it's really important that you control yourself and carry on with your work no matter where you are.

Paul

Two years ago, I started working from home. At first I enjoyed being at home. I could eat when I wanted to and wear whatever I liked. However, after a bit I missed meeting with my coworkers. Now I have moved into an office and just do one or two days at home. I feel I work better because I am not in the same place all day. I think a bit of both is the best choice.

John

1.Who work both at home and in an office now? ______

A.John. B.James. C.Simon. D.Paul.

2.According to Simon, what should be done if companies introduced home working but failed? ______

A.go back to office working.

B.check on workers as often as possible.

C.encourage communication among home workers.

D.develop the managers' ability to build team spirit.

3.What is the advantage of working at home in Paul's opinion? ______

A.It allows him to follow his timetable.

B.It allows him to better center on his work.

C.It gives him more time to stay with his family.

D.It teaches him the importance of self-control.

4.What may be the suitable title of the text? ______

A.Advantages of working at offices. B.Disadvantages of working at home.

C.Opinions on home working. D.Ways to improve office communication.

 

    I'm an English teacher working in Russia, and for some reason I really don't like that classroom topic - Talk About Your Family. Perhaps it's because everyone studied English from the same book at school. So all the students say, "My family consists of five members: Me, my mother, my father, my brother and my dog…"and so on, as if all families are exactly the same.

Let's get rid of the phrase "my family consists of…"and look at some more interesting ways to talk about families. English is rich in idioms (习语) to talk about family life. We've mentioned the black sheep of the family - that's someone who didn't fit in, or caused a family scandal(丑闻). If you're loyal(忠诚) to your family, you can say blood is thicker than water or keep it in the family. If you share a talent with another family member, you can say it runs in the family. You might have your father's eyes or your mother's nose. If you're like one of your parents, you can say like father, like son or you can be a chip off the old block.

Then there are idioms that have left the family and gone on to have a life of their own. For example, a Londoner is telling someone how to get a new passport. "Get four pictures taken, pick up a form in the post office, hand it in with your old passport and …Bob's your uncle." It means "the problem is solved". But love to know who the original Bob was, and why he was such a useful uncle to have.

1.Why does the writer dislike the classroom topic Talk About Your Family?  ______

A.Because he works in Russia. B.Because all families are the same.

C.Because all answers are the same. D.Because he has no family there.

2.When we mention the black sheep of the family, we can refer to someone ______ .

A.who caused a family scandal B.who is loyal to the family

C.who has the father's eyes D.who has a useful uncle

3.What can you say if you want to express you have the same talent with your brother?  ______

A.Blood is thicker than water. B.It runs in the family.

C.You are the chip of the old block. D.Bob is your uncle.

4.According to the passage, how do you probably feel when you hear "Bob's your uncle"?  ______

A.sad. B.bored. C.stressed. D.satisfied.

 

    Chinese volleyball superstar Zhu Ting has inspired (启发) a new English word- ZHUperb!

The word uses "Zhu" and "superb" to describe the 24 - year-old player's leadership skills.

This year, Zhu was named as one of the Top Global Outstanding Athletes by a famous award. As captain of the Chinese women's national volleyball team, Zhu has "created the new golden age of women's volleyball in China", the award said.

Although she's a superstar now, it hasn't been easy for Zhu to get where she is.

Born to a farming family in Henan province, Zhu went to a local sports school at age 13. Zhu got homesick during the first few months of training. But her father encouraged her, which helped her make progress.

She became well - known by helping China's U20 team win the 2013 FIVB U20(世青赛)  World Championship. Zhu joined the national team shortly afterward.

At first, the 1.98-meter-tall Zhu found it difficult to move quickly and stay balanced. But head coach Lang Ping took advantage of her height and trained her to jump high and spike (扣球) the ball. Her work paid off. Zhu is now an outstanding spiker.

Today, Zhu sees her height as an advantage. And she still works hard during training. "Hard work and talent are both important. I'll move forward step by step, " she told People's Daily.

1.Why was Zhu Ting named as one of the Top Global Outstanding Athletes? ______

A.Because she was a Chinese.

B.Because she performed well in the match.

C.Because she inspired a new English word.

D.Because she was a superstar.

2.When did Zhu Ting become well-known? ______

A.When she was at the age of 13.

B.After she became a Top Global Outstanding Athlete.

C.After she helped win 2013 FIVB U20.

D.After the word ZHUperb was inspired.

3.The following contributed to Zhu Ting's success EXCEPT ______ .

A.her father's encouragement. B.her head coaches training and help.

C.her hard work and talent. D.her calmness and coolness.

    Say you're out for a walk in the woods. 1.. Nor can you tell the direction from which you've come. You're lost. How can you survive? Here's the good news: You don't need to be a survival expert to find your way back to civilization. Just stay calm and remember these tips. Pinpoint (定位) your location.

Take a good look around. What do you see? 2. pinpointing your location will be difficult. If possible, find higher ground, giving yourself a better view of the surroundings. Otherwise, you may end up walking directionless and possibly in circles.

3..

While traveling through the wilderness, be observant. Look for old campsites, fishing line, food bags, cigarette ends, plastic water bottles, or any other kind of litter. If you find any such evidence, examine your surroundings to determine which way they went.

If possible, stick to open country.

4.. This type of terrain (地带) is often a result of farming or logging (伐木), which may put you closer to other people. Plus, being out in the open makes it easier for you to be spotted by a low flying aircraft. Be sure to have something ready to signal with in case a rescue plane flies nearby. Travel downhill.

If you are lost in hilly terrain, your best choice is almost always to travel downhill. People tend to settle in valleys, usually close to water. 5., head down and out of the mountains. Besides, you can cover more terrain and conserve energy traveling downhill.

A. Find your way out

B. Look for signs of people

C. If the answer is a thick forest

D. Sometimes, it's not easy to find open country

    Nola (August 21, 1974 -November 22, 2015) was a northern white rhino(犀牛)who lived at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park near Escondido, California. At her death, she was one of only four remaining northern white rhinos in the world. The other three lived in Kenya. World Rhino Day, held on September 22, is to raise awareness of the less than 30,000 other rhinos left on Earth.

“Rhinos need our help today, not tomorrow,”Nola’s lead keeper Jane Kennedy said. “Last year we lost over 1,200 rhinos just in South Africa. If we continue to lose more than 1,000 rhinos a year, in 10 to 20 years all the rhinos on the planet will be gone.”

“Unfortunately, most animals are in danger of dying out because of humans,” Kennedy says.“ Humans have either poached(偷猎)animals, or because there are over seven billion of us, we’ ve taken up too much of the world’s resources ”. Poachers illegally hunt rhinos for their horns. They sell the horns for thousands of dollars per pound, to be used for art, jewelry, and decorations.Experts believe that one rhino is poached every eight hours.

In 1975, the San Diego Zoo Institute for Conservation Research started the Frozen Zoo, a program through which researchers have collected cell (细胞) samples from more than 8,000 different types of animals, including the northern white rhino. Scientists hope that by studying the rhino cells, they will get greater understanding of it, and will find ways to increase its numbers.

Jane Kennedy describes World Rhino Day as “a celebration of rhinos along with an awareness campaign for everybody across the world to know that rhinos need our help.”At the San Diego Zoo, children and adults are welcome to visit and speak with zookeepers to learn about rhinos. But you don’ t have to live in San Diego to celebrate World Rhino Day. It is observed around the world, with zoos and wildlife parks holding special events and programs to teach people about rhinos, and enable them to see the animals up close. For more information, go to www. worldrhinoday. org.

    Does it make sense for countries to invest billions of dollars in space programs when millions of people in their country are living below the poverty line? Many people ask this question and I almost tire of answering it.

Let's talk about Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) first. This is a terrible disease in which the victims progressively lose the ability to control their body. It affects almost only boys and shows itself when the boys are around age 5. They're wheelchair-bound by age 12, and will be dead before their 30th birthday. There is no cure. However, there are treatments. They're based on crystalline (晶体) protein structures, whose formation is adversely (不利地) affected by the presence of Earth's constant unidirectional (单一方向的) gravitational field. However, according to a study conducted by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) on the International Space Station (ISS), crystalline protein structures form regularly in microgravity conditions, which allows for targeted drugs designed to "double these boys' life spans (寿命)".

And you want to talk about feeding the hungry? We have space lettuce (生菜).And it's structurally and nutritionally equivalent to Earth lettuce. Space is pretty much everything there is, which means you can make a lot of lettuce in space. In fact, one of the potential growth markets in lunar colonization (月球殖民) is food trade. Food can be mass produced and sent to Earth to feed the hungry. By the way, as far as I am concerned, as for feeding the hungry, food distribution is the issue rather than food supply.

Space exploration is one of the best things that humanity has ever done.

1.What do people want to know by asking the question in Paragraph 1?

A.Whether there is a cure for DMD.

B.How many people live below the poverty line.

C.How much money is spent on space programs.

D.Whether space programs benefit people on Earth.

2.What can be learned about DMD?

A.It seems to spare girls.

B.Its cure lies in the ISS.

C.It gets serious in microgravity conditions.

D.Its patients need wheelchairs their entire life.

3.What is the author's attitude to growing food in space?

A.Doubtful. B.Positive.

C.Disapproving. D.Uncaring.

4.The text is most probably taken from a ________.

A.website to buy and sell the newest space products

B.website to ask questions and get quality answers

C.legal document

D.science fiction

 

    The text from my friend Lorraine said simply: Fancy a family picnic this weekend? My hands began to sweat; my heart beat hard. I wanted to yell, "No! Why would you suggest that? I thought we were friends!"

I hated picnics. My hatred of them began as a child. I always got car-sick and it was hot all the way. Air conditioning in vehicles was pretty much unheard of in 1980s Birmingham, and my mother insisted on having all the windows closed because of the unpleasant smell of gas. We would arrive at some faraway destination, usually a car park with a field attached next to a plant, and unpack tasteless sandwiches, nearly cold sausage rolls and disgusting salads. There were never any toilets, so we had to "go" behind a bush; the memory of being discovered by a random dog-walker still embarrasses me from time to time. My mother sat in a relaxed way on a rug (小毯子) while we girls were playing nearby or maybe lying next to her. But for me this was a time when I suffered a lot. It was frightening to be attacked by ants or spot a dead rabbit in the grass.

As an adult I'd avoided all picnics, but this time I couldn't. I just said yes, without letting Lorraine sense my true feeling about them. She is my best friend and sometimes you must make sacrifices for people you like a lot. "I'll bring the food, and you bring the drink," she said.

My ridiculously enthusiastic family and I arrived at the picnic site. My expectations were low. Lorraine and her husband Dave unloaded folding tables, chairs, a table cloth and a cool box of delicious food mostly purchased from a local deli (熟食店), which does all manner of pre-prepared salads and cold cuts. There was fresh bread, olives, even candles to keep away insects, music, and wine. It was completely delightful. There may have been children playing around too, even if one of them did find a dead bird (told you!).

I am now a picnic enthusiast and we're planning another. I'm even reading up on picnic recipes for it!

1.How did the author feel about Lorraine's suggestion?

A.Excited. B.Ashamed.

C.Frightened. D.Embarrassed.

2.What did the author say about her childhood picnics?

A.The food was unpleasant.

B.She could play with rabbits.

C.The destination was crowded.

D.She could talk with her mother alone.

3.What can we infer about Lorraine and her husband?

A.They are great cooks.

B.They have good manners.

C.They are animal-friendly people.

D.They made careful preparations for the picnic.

4.Why did the author write the text?

A.To remember an unforgettable trip.

B.To record her memories of family picnics.

C.To describe her changed attitude to picnics.

D.To express her thanks to her friend Lorraine.
