中考写好英语作文的10个简单原则(2)

　　5. Read it aloud.

　　大声朗读

　　Reading your works out loud allows you to notice something that you might not have noticed if you were just reading it silently. Go on， read them out loud now. Also， try to listen to your work objectively as you read it. Are you making sense? Or are you simply stringing a couple of words together just to fill a gap?

　　尽量避免使用行话。

学习啦在线学习网 　　不是每个读者都知道“牛市”是什么。不是每个人都知道“pyrexia” (注：发热的临床用语)和“fever”基本上是一个意思。当然，你可以造一个比“hypertension”更好的词来表示高血压。

　　7. In terms of words， size matters.

　　词的长短也很重要。

　　Please， don't strain yourself by browsing the Internet， looking for complicated and fancy-sounding words. Less is always more.

　　请不要让自己忙于浏览互联网来寻找复杂及花哨的词。少即是多。
