>3. Put key words and ideas at the beginning or end of a sentence.把关键词和中心放在段落的始句或者尾句。
Don't bury a main point in the middle of a long sentence. To emphasize key words, place them at the beginning or (better yet) at the end.不要让中心埋没在段落中。想要强调关键词的话就把他们放在起始或者结尾。
>4. Vary sentence types and structures.变换句型和结构

>9. Actively edit and proofread.积极的编辑、校对
It's easy to overlook errors when merely looking over your work. So be on the lookout for common trouble spots when studying your final draft.重读一遍自己的文章就很容易检查出错误。当检查最后的草稿时,请注意那些容易出错的地方。
>10. Use a dictionary.使用字典
When proofreading, don't trust your spellchecker: it can tell you only if a word is a word, not if it's the right word.在校对的时候不要相信那些拼写检查。它只能告诉你某个单词的拼写是否正确,不能告诉你这个词是否用对了。
