The Elenents

I read the Book The Elements of Style.This is a useful book for writing.For most students learning English, how to write a good article is very difficult.In this book,a professor teaches us how to write a concise essay in just sixty-three words."Vigorous writing is concise. A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts. This requires not that the writer make all his sentences short, or that he avoid all detail and treat his subject only in outline, but that every word tell."But when we write, in many ways we can't be concise.Writing needs more practice.Not only the use of words but also the accumulation of sentence patterns.This book introduces some writing tips from the aspects of words, grammar and so on.
