英语学习：关于写作，你应该知道的
10
件事



1. Better writing: guide readers through what you write
写作提高：通过你所写的内容来引导读者

Your task is to help readers understand your message quickly and
precisely. To do this, it is necessary to show them clearly how the
different parts relate to each other.
你的任务是帮助读者迅速且准确地理解你的信息。为了 做到这一点，向他们清
楚地展示每个不同部分之间的联系是很有必要的。

Each sentence, each paragraph should be relevant to what comes before
and what comes after.
每个句子、每段话都应该与上下文有所联系。

2. Word choice: avoid clich
é
s and buzzwords
选词：避免老生常谈和专业术语

Clich
é
s (used so often and so vaguely that they lose their original
impact) and buzzwords/jargon can irritate readers and either distract
them from your message or make them question its validity. < br>老生常谈（经常被使用，表意不清且失去原有意义）和专业术语会引起读者的
不快，既不能将他们 吸引到你的文章上来，也会使他们质疑其有效性。

3. Writing your CV/r
é
sum
é
: make your CV/r
é
sum
é
easy to read
制作简历：使你的简历更具可读性

Research shows that one thing recruiters expect in a CV/r
é
sum
é
is
ease of reading. Ways of making yours easy to read include a brief
summary of where you are now and where you want to go, short
sentences and paragraphs, clear headings, good use of bullet points,
and appropriate typefaces.
研究表明，招聘者希望简历更易阅读。使简历更具阅 读性的方法包括简单总结
你所处的位置、短的句子和段落、清晰的标题、重点突出以及合适的字体。
4. Writing a cover letter: tailor your cover letter
求职信写作：使你的求职信更得体

A generic cover letter simply will not do; make sure your letter is
tailored to the job and company in question. Reflect the
organization
’
s values and goals; research what it says about its
history, current practice, mission statement, and so forth. But don
’
t just parrot their exact wording. It sounds robotic, and employers
hate it.
一般的求职信不会这样；你要确保你的求职信能够适合你考虑的职位和公司 。
反映出组织的价值和目标；研究一下其历史、现行实践、宗旨等等。但是不要
机械地模仿他们 的准确措辞。这听起来就很机械，也无法得到招聘者的青睐。

5. Writing essays: understand your audience
论文：了解你的读者

The more you know about who will be reading your essay, the better.
Readers who are experts on your topic will already have some
background knowledge. Readers who are your age will be familiar with
the same films and songs you
’
re likely to mention. The less you know
about your audience, the more you
’
ll need to define your terms and
provide context for your examples.
你对于阅读你文 章的读者越了解，效果就越好。对你的主题非常了解的读者已
经有了一些基本的知识。和你同龄的读者会 对你可能会提到的
*
和歌曲感到熟
悉。你对读者了解的越少，你就需要花更多的精力来 解释你的措辞、并为语境
举出例子。

6. Writing a personal statement: create a strong opening
个人陈述写作：有力的开头

As with any other piece of writing, you need to get your readers
’

attention. A compelling personal story can be an effective beginning.
Let your story lead to a discussion of how you became interested in
the type of work or education you are pursuing. You might also start
by writing about someone you admire in the industry or organization.
与其他的文体一样，你需要吸引读者的注意力。一个引人注目的个人故事 可以
成为一个有效的开头。使你的故事能够引入你对自己探寻的工作或教育产生兴
趣的原因。你 也可以以描写你在该行业或组织里敬仰的人物来开头。

7. Online writing: create a good title
网上写作：写一个好的标题

Your title is one of the ways people find your piece. It should also
make them want to read on. So it
’
s well worth investing time to get
it right. The pay-off will be not only more readers but also readers
who engage fully with what you write.
你的标题是人们发现你的作品的方式之一。它也可以是人 们产生阅读的兴趣。
所以花些时间来想一个好的标题是非常值得的。如果你成功了，就可以吸引更
多读者，也会使他们全神贯注地投入到你的作品中去。

8. Creative writing: show rather than tell
创造性写作：展示而非灌输

Too much description, too many adjectives and adverbs, can slow up
your narrative and cause your readers to lose interest. Where
possible, it
’
s better to show your readers what a person, the
atmosphere in the room, the relationship between your characters is
