Make Your Writing Clearer and More Persuasive

Tip
We’re all writers. Whether we’re penning books, articles, reports, or even emails, our success at work depends in large part on how well we can communicate our thoughts. Here are three ways to make your writing more persuasive and impressive:
Read your writing out loud. It might feel tedious, but this step will help you hear how your sentences sound. As you read, you’ll begin to realize which sentences can be edited for brevity or clarity, or where you’ve said too much when one sentence is good enough to explain a concept.Read other people’s writing. When you do, pay attention to when you lose focus or get confused. This will help you avoid those same pitfalls in your own writing.Get to the point. Most of us tend to use the opening of any piece of writing to sort out the point we’re trying to make. Try this trick: Delete the first couple of sentences or paragraphs and see if that makes your piece sharper.

🇨🇳 让你的文章更清晰，更有说服力
我们都是作家。不管我们是在写书、文章、报告，甚至是电子邮件，我们在工作中的成功很大程度上取决于我们能把自己的想法表达得多好。让你的文章更有说服力和给人深刻印象的方法有三种：
大声朗读你的文章。这可能会让人觉得乏味，但这一步会帮助你听到句子的发音。当你阅读时，你会开始意识到哪些句子可以为了简洁和清晰而修改，或者当一个句子足以解释一个概念时，你说得太多了。
读别人写的东西。当你这样做的时候，要注意你什么时候注意力不集中或者感到困惑。这将帮助你在写作中避免同样的陷阱。
切中要害。我们中的大多数人倾向于用任何一篇文章的开头来梳理我们想要表达的观点。试试这个技巧：删除前几个句子或段落，看看是否能让你的文章更犀利。
