How to write clearly
When you say something is difficult to put your head to paper. ‘How to write clear’ is a book by journalist Jordi Perez recently published by the publisher of the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya on 92 pages explaining what to do to communicate well.
1. ‘Read write for you. ” Jordi Perez says the most important non-fiction text is to be understood. “When we are clearer, the more you have the reader read to the end,” he explains.
2. ‘Before writing, think … “. According to him, before rushing to write an outline should be prepared. So we have things clear in my head because it’s never easy to write them down.
3. ‘… But he writes without thinking. ” Perez says that “once you know what you mean, it is best expressed in the most natural way possible.” Cree to find a personal style or copied to other complicated reading. “The less we think we want better,” he concludes.
4. “There are always problems left over, the problem is knowing what”. In a text of 500 words always between 50 and 100 words left over, according to Jordi PĂ©rez.
5. “The adjective, the tag and the wise are the enemies.” Jordi Perez These are for three examples of things that almost always on in a text. “The subject and verb are what provide information. As it can be a little hard, the adjective you put a little sauce. ” He explains that the crutches are used to help develop an oral discourse, but should disappear when we write. He added that the appointments learned from the wise should be used sparingly because they lose strength when they are abused, just like adjectives.
6. “Syllables also count.” Perez says that sometimes we use words too long: “assistance” instead of “help”, “problem” instead of “problem” or “watch” instead of “seeing”, which extend the text “so ridiculous” .
7. “The right word is the most difficult.” Jordi Perez explained that over the syllables or the length of sentences, the hard part is finding exactly what we mean it in writing “must be understood with the first reading, without that you can help the reader.”
8. “If there is to say something, it’s best to say it.” The reporter makes it clear that we must not give rodeos. “Avoid the passive and unnecessary negative” he says, and gives examples as “the meeting was convened at 7″ or “no doubt that John did not come.”
9. ‘Look what you’ve written. ” After thinking it was meant to write it and then, we must find ways to improve it.
10. “Now, repeat.” Jordi Perez concludes that there is no better way to write clearly to try and practice.
