everybody welcome back to top words my

name is Alisha and today we're going to

talk about ten ways to improve your

writing so let's go

don't use text to speak okay so the

first tip to improve your writing is

don't use text speak text speak by that

I mean for example like BRB or lol or

those kinds of words the words that you

use on the internet like SNS or in text

messages with your friends those very

short like slang words ttyl or LMAO or

those sorts of acronyms do not use those

in your formal writing if you are

writing a letter a business email

whatever do not use those the only one

that you can use in a business email so

not in a letter of recommendation not in

a formal letter but the only thing you

can use that sort of text speak ish is

the acronym FYI which means for your

information you can use fYI in a mail to

your colleagues and an email to your

colleagues or your co-workers but

usually it's with somebody you have a

good relationship with you can say fYI

in those cases

other texts speak other acronyms like

that don't use them in you you will

sound immature you will sound too casual

not a good idea

use proper punctuation the next hint is

to use proper punctuation proper

punctuation punctuation for example we

have commas we have periods semicolons

colons apostrophes quotation marks

parentheses

all of these are punctuation marks the

little points in our writing that tell

readers where to stop reading or how

sentences are connected using proper

punctuation in your writing will help

your reader understand you and if your

reader understands you well and you've

used proper punctuation you

also look a bit smarter do if you're not

using proper punctuation like for

example if you forget to use an

apostrophe in a word it's gonna look

kind of bad honestly for example if you

use the word your y ou you apostrophe re

if you leave out the apostrophe if you

just write y ou you ar e it looks lazy

it looks lazy so make sure to use proper

punctuation to avoid appearing lazy so

don't forget your little periods commas

semicolons all that don't repeat the

same vocabulary words the next tip is

don't repeat the same vocabulary words

she says repeating the same sentence but

don't repeat the same vocabulary words

means if you are using like an adjective

a specific adjective in a sentence

don't use that same adjective in every

other sentence like try to use different

adjectives to describe your points if

you are always using exactly the same

words to describe your point like if for

example I want to write about cake if I

want to write an article about cake and

I just say this cake is delicious this

cake is so delicious I loved this cake

because it was delicious this was so

delicious it's boring for the reader to

read the same word every single sentence

or and also you're not really

communicating very much if I just use

the word delicious to describe a cake

the reader doesn't understand why the

cake is delicious

so give more detail when you're sharing

your opinions of course this time it's a

very simple opinion about delicious cake

but use a variety of different

adjectives support your arguments with

statements that use different vocabulary

words so don't always say the same word

to describe something try to use a lot

of different vocabulary words and think

a lot about different adjectives you can

use if this is difficult for you there

is a tool you can use the English word

for it is thesaurus thesaurus so many of

you know what a dictionary is a book or

a resource to check the meaning of a

word but you can also use what's called

a thesaurus

with a thesaurus you can search for

synonyms words which have the same or

similar meaning as other words so if I

look for the word like delicious

I might get let's see some synonyms for

the word delicious might be yummy tasty

good delectable for example so there are

a whole range of other words that you

can use if you find that you are using

the same word in every sentence try to

find a different word you can use a

thesaurus to help you do that so avoid

using the same word in every sentence or

avoid using this repeated vocabulary

words avoid use of very and really ok

the next tip is to avoid the use of very

and really by this I mean instead of

saying to go back to my kick example the

cake was very delicious

the cake was really delicious very and

really are sort of lazy words of course

they're very very useful uh-huh they're

very very useful when we're speaking

casually and when we're thinking quickly

but if you're writing and you have some

time to think about what you're writing

instead of using a word that's common

like delicious and just attaching very

like this cake is very delicious what's

a different word that means very

delicious

so can I replace very and delicious with

one different word like scrumptious

for example this cake is scrumptious

scrumptious means very delicious it's

only one word so if you can do this if

you apply a word that means the same

thing as very or really plus another

word it's going to level up your

vocabulary and you're going to reduce

the number of words in the sentence so

if I say this cake is very delicious or

if I say this cake is scrumptious

scrumptious has a much stronger meaning

than just very delicious so avoiding the

use of very and really can level up your

speech quite significantly so give it a

try use transition words and phrases the

next tip is to use transition words and

phrases use transition words and phrases

so transition words are words and well

and phrases we use to

from one idea to the next idea so

continuing in my cake example if I want

to introduce my scrumptious cake and

then I want to move on to a description

of the store that sells that cake I

might use a transition phrase or some

kind of sequence phrase to help me do

that so if in paragraph a I'm talking

about my scrumptious cake and how much I

enjoyed it and the chocolate flavors and

the amazing frosting I could use a

transition phrase for example by the way

if you're interested you can purchase

this cake at ABC store for example so in

that case my transition phrase was by

the way a very casual transition phrase

depending on the kind of thing you're

writing you can use different transition

phrases if you're writing an academic

paper for example when you want to add

information you can say additionally

moreover furthermore you can also use

plus if you'd like to add information in

addition is another one that you can use

so when you want to add information

there are some transition phrases or

some ways to give more information you

to describe a sequence you can say next

then following that you can use your

words like 1st 2nd 3rd 4th depending on

the sequence you can say subsequently or

consequently as well so think about the

relationship between the points you're

introducing think about all these

different relationships how do you want

to connect these ideas so instead of

just listing your points each point try

to think about how to connect those

points naturally so depending on what

you're writing the words you use will

change which is fine but just think

about the way you'd like your reader to

understand your information and choose

transition words and phrases accordingly

organize your writing intro body

conclusion ok the next one is a tip

about organization so the next tip is

organize your paper or organize your

writing into an introduction a body and

a conclusion so these are the three

basic elements of an academic paper or

of an essay perhaps an article as well

introduction is as it sounds

introducing the main points what are you

going to talk about what is your opinion

what is your argument we introduced that

in the introduction then next part is

the body of the paper in other words the

main points the your real arguments

everything you would like to say about

the thing is you introduced in your

introduction this is where you get into

the details of that so the body of the

paper is typically the longest part of

the paper or the longest part of the

essay so there's a lot of information in

the body section finally the conclusion

the conclusion of the paper concludes or

finishes the paper in the conclusion you

will summarize your points from the body

of the paper and you should connect

those points to the items you introduced

in the introduction of your paper so all

of these elements these three elements

should connect together so if you are

finding that it's difficult to organize

your thoughts or you don't know how to

approach your paper or this item maybe

even an email you're writing you can try

to separate it into three sort of

categories introduction body conclusion

so introduced idea explained idea

summarized idea this can be very helpful

in writing avoid use of second person

okay the next hint is avoid use of

second person second person this is

going to take a little explanation so in

English writing we have three sort of

ways that we can write we can write in

first-person which means for example I

went to the store I wanted to buy

something I met a friend so first person

I am the person sharing the story

sharing the information in second person

which is kind of rare actually except in

very casual styles of writing the

subject of the sentence is you like you

go to the store you buy some milk you

call your friend this is kind of rare we

see this in childrens books and like I

say in sort of informal articles online

third-person style writing is using

he/she and character names like he went

to the store she called her mother they

needed to see a doctor so there are

these three types of writing in English

language so first person second person

third person

generally when you are writing

especially an academic paper you will

use first person or third person to do

that if you're writing something formal

you should probably not use second

person sometimes you'll see like a

person describing an experiment for

example like you should submerge the

item in water or you should bake this at

350 degrees using you is fine in casual

situations when you're giving

instructions for example if you find it

in a recipe fine it kind of sounds a bit

more casual very informal not so

important however if you find that you

are using you-you-you in an academic

paper it sounds a bit too casual too

informal so please avoid use of second

person so reminder second person is the

subject of the sentence is you you so it

sounds like you're kind of commanding

the other person commanding the reader

or giving advice to the reader or

telling the reader what to do

it sounds very odd so avoid use of

second person in your writing consider

the tense you're using the next tip is

to consider the tense you are using

consider the tense you're using so I'm

just going to talk about two tenses here

really present tense and past tense so

we can use the present tense and the

present continuous tense really to

explain a story or to tell a story like

it's actually happening so if I say like

I go to the store I see a friend of mine

she's buying milk for example if I use

the present tense and I use the present

continuous tense it sounds like the

listener or if it's in writing it sounds

like that's actually happening it's

easier for the listener or the reader to

kind of experience the story in that

moment so if you want to create some

tension in your writing if you want to

create some excitement you can use the

present tense and its associated tenses

to kind of heighten the energy level if

you use past tense however you might

create more of a rapport nuance so for

example when you watch the evening news

or you read the newspaper you might find

that it's written in past tense

it's just reported

information what happened so simple past

tense is used past tense and the other

associated tenses in past tense are used

so when you're writing consider what do

you want the reader to feel or what do

you want the reader to experience are

you writing a report maybe you should

just use past tense are you writing

about general facts then if you're

writing about a general fact you should

probably use present tense but if you

want to create like a fiction story for

example and you want your reader to

experience the story and kind of feel

enthusiastic or energetic about your

story present tense and maybe continuous

tense and with present would be a better

choice so just think about which tense

you're using for your writing consider

appropriate vocabulary the next tip is

to consider appropriate vocabulary

consider appropriate vocabulary so

depending on the type of thing you're

writing there are words that are good to

use and there are words that are not so

good to use if you're writing an

academic paper for example don't use

casual words don't use curse words in

your paper don't use anything that could

be interpreted or could be understood as

informal if you're writing something

very casual on the other hand it's fine

to use casual words it's fine to be

informal to be a little bit funny and it

might sound strange if you do use

informal words or extremely polite words

so consider the appropriate kinds of

vocabulary words to be using depending

on what you're writing

learn to use references okay the last

tip is maybe the most difficult tip the

last tip is learn to use references

learn to use references this is

especially important if you are writing

academic papers or if you are writing

something you're going to publish in

like a journal or maybe even a magazine

using references means you are using

references reading references and

writing about them and including what's

called a citation in your writing so

you're taking a piece of something that

someone else has written putting it in

quotation marks perhaps depending on the

way you choose to cite it

then adding a reference list at the end

of your document to show which documents

you referenced which documents were

important to you in making your argument

so if you can use references in your

writing to support your argument it can

be a very very good tool so if you have

just kind of an opinion piece you want

to write an article even for the

internet for example it can be very very

helpful to support your argument with

links to other references with links to

other information about your opinion

so yes I'm it's most important it's most

focused on in academics in academia

really but if you're writing even for

the internet learning how to reference

properly learning how to include others

works properly in your work can be

extremely valuable so try that out it's

it's a big topic it's a difficult topic

but learning how to use references can

really help you improve your writing so

those are ten ways to help you improve

your writing I hope that there were some

useful tips in there for you if you have

大家好，欢迎回到最重要的词我的

名字是 Alisha，今天我们 '将

讨论十种提高

写作水平的方法，所以让我们

不要用文字说话好吧，所以

改善写作的第一个技巧是

不要使用文字说话文字说话

我的意思是例如BRB或lol 或

那些你

在互联网上使用的词，如 SNS 或在

与朋友的短信中那些非常

短的词，如俚语 ttyl 或 LMAO 或

那些首字母缩略词

，如果你正在写信，请不要在正式写作中使用这些词

任何商业电子邮件

都不要

使用那些你可以在商业电子邮件中使用的唯一一个，所以

不要在推荐信中而不是

在正式信函中，但你唯一

可以使用那种文本说话的是

首字母缩略词 FYI，这意味着给你

您的信息您可以在给同事的邮件中使用 fYI，也可以在

给同事或同事的电子邮件中使用

fYI，但通常是

与您关系良好的人一起使用，

在这种情况下可以

说 fYI，其他文本使用其他类似的首字母缩略词

不要不要在你身上使用它们你会

听起来不成熟你听起来太随意

不是一个好主意

使用正确的标点符号下一个提示

是使用正确的标点符号正确的

标点符号标点符号例如我们

有逗号我们有句号分号

冒号撇号引号

括号

所有这些都是标点符号标志着

我们写作中的小点，告诉

读者在哪里停止阅读或

句子如何

在你的写作中使用正确的标点符号将帮助

你的读者理解你，如果你的

读者很好地理解你并且你

使用了正确的标点符号，你

也会看起来如果您没有

使用正确的标点符号，

例如如果您忘记

在单词中使用撇号，那就更聪明一点

老实说，有点糟糕，例如，如果您

使用单词 your y ou you apostrophe re

如果您省略撇号如果您

只是写 y ou you are e 它看起来很懒

它看起来很懒，所以请确保使用正确的

标点符号以避免显得懒惰所以

不要忘记你的小句号逗号

分号所有不重复

相同词汇的单词下一个提示是

不要重复相同的词汇

她说重复同一个句子但

不要重复重复相同的词汇

意味着如果您像形容词一样使用

句子中的特定

形容词不要在其他句子中使用相同的形容词，

例如尝试使用不同的

形容词来描述您的观点，如果

您总是使用完全相同的

词描述你的观点，

例如我

想写一篇关于蛋糕的文章，如果我想写一篇关于蛋糕的文章，

我只是说这个蛋糕很好吃

这个蛋糕很好吃我喜欢这个蛋糕，

因为它很好吃 s太

美味了，读者

每句话都读同一个词

很无聊

所以当你分享你的意见时，请提供更多细节

当然这次是

关于美味蛋糕的一个非常简单的意见，

但使用各种不同的

形容词支持你的

论点使用不同词汇的陈述

所以不要总是说同一个

词描述某事尝试使用

许多不同的词汇并

多想不同的形容词

如果这对你来说很难，

你可以使用有一个工具你可以使用英文单词

因为它是同义词同义词所以

你们中的许多人都知道什么是字典是

检查单词含义的书或资源，

但您也可以将所谓

的同义词库

与同义词库一起使用，您可以搜索

具有相同或相似词的

同义词 r 意思是其他词所以如果我

寻找像美味这样的词

我可能会得到让我们看看

美味这个词的一些同义词可能是美味美味

好美味例如所以如果你发现

还有很多其他词

可以使用你

在每个句子中都使用相同的词尝试

找到不同的词你可以使用

同义词库来帮助你做到这一点所以避免

在每个句子中使用相同的词或

避免使用这个重复的词汇

词避免使用 very and really

ok 下一个提示是避免使用very

and really by this 我的意思是不要

说回到我的踢示例

蛋糕非常

好吃蛋糕真的很美味非常非常

真的是一种懒惰的词当然

它们非常非常有用嗯，

当我们随意说话和快速思考时，它们非常有用，

但如果你正在写作，并且你有

时间思考你在写什么，

而不是使用一个常见的词，

比如美味并且只是附上非常

喜欢这个蛋糕非常好吃什么

是不同的词，意思是非常

美味

所以我可以用

一个不同的词代替非常美味

，例如美味这个蛋糕是美味的，

美味的意思是非常美味它

只有一个词所以如果你能做到这一点如果

你应用一个

与非常或真的意思相同的词加上另一个

词，它会提高你的

词汇量，你会减少

句子中的词数，所以

如果我说这个蛋糕非常好吃

或者我说这个蛋糕很美味

美味的意义

远不止非常美味，所以避免

使用非常和真的可以显着提高你的

演讲水平，所以

试试看使用过渡词和短语

下一个技巧是使用过渡词和

短语使用过渡词和短语，

所以过渡词是

我们用来

从一个想法到下一个想法的单词和短语，所以

如果我想理解，请继续我的蛋糕示例

制作我的美味蛋糕，

然后我想继续描述

销售该蛋糕的商店我

可能会使用过渡短语或

某种序列短语来帮助我这样做

，所以如果在第 a 段中我正在

谈论我的美味蛋糕，我有多

喜欢它，巧克力口味和

令人惊叹的糖霜，我可以使用一个

过渡短语，例如，

如果你有兴趣，你可以

在 ABC 商店购买这个蛋糕，所以在

这种情况下，我的过渡短语是

一个非常随意的过渡短语的方式

取决于你正在写的东西

你可以使用不同的过渡

短语如果你正在写一篇

学术论文例如当你想添加

信息时你可以说

另外你还可以使用

plus 如果您想添加信息，

那么您可以使用另一种信息，

因此当您想添加信息时

，有一些过渡短语或

一些方法可以提供更多信息

来描述你可以说下一个顺序

然后接下来你可以使用你的

词，如 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 取决于

你可以随后或因此说的顺序

所以想想

你要介绍的点之间的关系

想想所有这些

不同的关系怎么做你

想把这些想法联系起来，所以不要

仅仅列出你的观点，而是

试着思考如何自然地连接这些

观点，这样取决于

你在写什么，你使用的单词会

改变，这很好，但只要

想想你的方式' 希望你的读者

理解你的信息并相应地选择

过渡词和短语来

组织你的写作介绍正文

结论好的下一个是

关于组织的提示所以下一个提示是

组织你的论文或将你的

写作组织成介绍正文

和结论所以这

是一篇

学术论文或一篇论文的三个基本要素

归纳要点你

要谈什么你的观点

你的论点是什么我们

在引言中介绍了下一部分

是论文的正文，换句话说，

要点是你真正的论点

你想说的一切

关于事情是你在介绍中

介绍的，这是你

进入细节的地方，所以论文的正文

通常

是论文的最长部分或论文的最长部分，

所以

正文部分有很多信息最后是结论论文的结论

在结论中总结或

结束论文你

将从论文正文中总结你的观点

，你应该将

这些观点与

你在论文引言中介绍的项目联系起来，所以

所有这些元素都是这些三个元素

应该联系在一起，所以如果你

发现很难组织

你的想法或者你不知道如何

处理你的论文或这个项目ma

即使是您正在写的一封电子邮件，您也可以

尝试将其分为

三类介绍正文结论

所以介绍的想法解释的想法

总结的想法这

对写作很有帮助避免使用第二人称

好的下一个提示是避免使用

第二人称 person second person

这需要一点解释，所以在

英语写作中，我们有三种

写作方式，我们可以用

第一人称写作，这意味着例如我

去商店我想买

东西我遇到了一个朋友所以第一

人称我是分享故事的人

以第二人称分享信息，

除了非常随意的写作风格外，这实际上很少见

这在儿童读物中很少见，就像我

在网上的非正式文章中所说的那样，

第三人称风格写作使用

他/她和角色名称，就像他

去商店一样 e 打电话给她妈妈，他们

需要看医生，所以有

这三种类型的英语写作，

所以第一人称第二人称

第三人称

通常当你在写

特别是学术论文时，你会

使用第一人称或第三人称来写

，如果你 '正在写一些正式的东西，

你可能不应该使用第二

人称有时你会看到像

一个描述实验的人，

例如你应该把

物品浸入水中，或者

你应该在 350 度的温度下烘烤它

'正在给出

说明，例如，如果你

在食谱中发现它很好，它听起来

有点随意非常非正式，不是那么

重要，但是如果你发现

你在学术论文中使用你 - 你 - 你

听起来有点太随意了太不

正式，所以请避免使用第二

人称，所以提醒第二人称是

句子的主语是你，所以

听起来你有点在

指挥对方指挥对方 ader

或向读者提供建议或

告诉读者该做什么

这听起来很奇怪，所以避免

在你的写作中使用第二人称

考虑你正在使用的时态下一个技巧

是考虑你正在使用

的时态考虑你的时态重新使用，所以

我只想在这里谈论两个时态，

真正现在时和过去时，所以

我们可以使用现在时和

现在进行时来真正

解释一个故事或讲述一个故事，就像

它实际发生一样，所以如果我说就像

我去商店我看到我的一个朋友在

买牛奶，例如，如果我

使用现在时并且我使用现在

进行时，这听起来像是

听者，或者如果它是书面形式，听起来

就像真的发生

了那样听众或读者

在那一刻体验故事，

所以如果你想

在你的写作中创造一些紧张感，如果你想

创造一些兴奋，你可以使用

现在时及其相关时态

来提高 n 如果

你使用过去时的能量水平，但是你可能会

创造更多的融洽的细微差别，

例如，当你看晚间新闻

或阅读报纸时，你可能会

发现它是用过去时写的，

它只是

报道了发生的简单过去的信息

时态使用过去时，并且使用过去时的其他
