Transform your writing into something you're very proud of by crafting powerful sentences.
Do you worry that your point is not coming across clearly in your academic or business writing? Are your opportunities in school, work and life limited because your writing is not as powerful and direct as it could be? Erin shares several points to make your sentences clear, concise and powerful. Like all writing, science writing needs attention to word choice and order to communicate your ideas clearly, quickly and accurately.
This video is in response to a request by from Kabul University, regarding how to improve academic science writing. But these tips apply to anyone trying to improve their writing and communicate clearly in almost any field.
Great for international learners! Friends around the world, please check out Erin's tips!
After a brief review of grammar, Erin looks at a few key tips to transform your writing, and ensure strong, direct, active sentences that will get your point across. Choosing the best words for 'doers' (subjects) and 'actions' (verbs) is a key skill that gives you control over your writing. Active and passive writing choices will also impact your writing.
Remember to:
1. Use doer + action (or subject + verb) to create your sentence.
2. Include 5 Ws when needed.
3. Consider word order: active or passive voice
4. Use a strong, concrete doer.
5. Use a strong, concrete action.
