What should I do to get out of intermediate level of my English and to get the advanced level in writing. Share your thoughts. I
Vlad1618 [11]

<em>As someone who's been fluent in writing and speaking in an eloquent way from a young age, I'm not sure I 100% understand your situation, but I can try to give you some tips that I've noticed my teachers have liked about my writing. </em>

<em>I will pause here to say, however, that I have a rather formal writing style. I wouldn't necessarily mimic this part of writing, because if you get caught in it as a norm (as I have) you'll sound incredibly serious when you don't necessarily want to. Whenever I write to a friend to tell them how much I care, I always sound so stiff and proper. My friends and I joke that when I write something important I start to sound like Sesshomaru.</em>

<em>But, on to the tips.</em>

<em />

<em>One of the biggest ones I would recommend is </em><em>word variety</em><em>. Word variety is the use of many synonyms so that your writing is less dull and more intriguing to the reader. Now, word variety is a good thing, but try to make sure that you don't use ridiculously obscure synonyms. If you wanted to use a synonym for dull, don't use 'lackluster'. Use tarnished or unpolished. Lackluster is just a little too obscure.</em>

<em />

<em>I would also recommend that punctuation and correct grammar become of the UTMOST importance in your writing. Correct usage of grammar and punctuation is critical for good writing.</em>

<em />

<em>Thirdly and lastly, be descriptive with your words. Writing is an art, and with your words, you should be painting a clear and understandable picture of the scene you are describing, or the instructions you are trying to give, or simply the fact you are expanding upon. But don't make your descriptions too long or the reader could get bored with the amount of detail. Writing is a balancing act.</em>

<em />

<em>Well, here I've gone and written you an essay on writing. My apologies if you look at this and go "oh my WORD this is long". But I hope this answers your question.</em>

<em>Regards, Toremi</em>

Read the excerpt from The Code Book. Just as Whit Diffie predicted in the early 1970s, we are now entering the Information Age,
k0ka [10]

Answer:

  • What kind of information is the author talking about?
  • What does the word "commodity" mean?
  • What role does digital information play in society?

Explanation:

The three questions selected above are very important to be used during the text interpretation process, because when trying to answer these questions the reader can understand the sentence "information is the most valuable commodity" which is essential for understanding the text as a whole.

That's because these questions point to the main message that the text wants to convey, as it focuses on the value of information in modern life and how it can be used commercially, increasing its value. Furthermore, these questions establish the importance of the internet within this system that is only likely to grow.
