Tips for Better Writing Ifthere’s one powerful word to describe an emotion, action or event, use it. Avoid words lke: very, nice, really. These words, and words like them, are intended to strengthen the descriptive word that ‘comes after them, but instead they tend to lessen the impact. t would be better to usea stronger word entirely. For example: Don't write "very angry” —use “furious” Don't use “really happy”—use “ecstatic” 2 A series of short sentences speeds up the Reading process and therefore the story's pace. Use these when you're building to a climax, when there's action and excitement. Long sentences slow down the reader and the story; they work well in between the action and give readers a chance to catch their breath. The plot of a story should be like a walk in hilly country, full of highs and lows. Too much racing to an apex is tiring; too much plodding along is boring. Reveal how a person is feeling instead of telling the reader how the character feels. Describing a character's actions adds impact, reality and also improves the characterisation in your story in a ‘way that simply stating she said angrily’or “he looked happy"never will. For example: Don’t tell the reader, she was happy” try “she hummed quietly to herself, a smile playing on her lip 4 Strong writing requires getting rid of unnecessary words, so avoid repeating yourself. For example: “He returned back home again: if you use returned’, you don’t need "back" Similarly with “2am. in the morning’, “a.m” is unnecessary. 5 IFyou're writing a story or article, try to make the ending relate to the beginning, Tying up any loose ends and mentioning something that refers backto the beginning can do this. Thiscompletion of the cycle adds symmetry to the writing. What tip for better writing does each of the paragraphs give? ‘A Avoid tautology B Use strong descriptive words € Vary your sentence length D Don't overdo the description E Make ta circle F Avoid clichés Show, don't tell H Use strong verbs 's you do not need to. ¥Task2 Read the Text below.

Pixar’s Animated Films Just like Pixar's other animated films, WALL tells a story that both adults and children can enjoy, Although it has a serious message, showing what might happen to our planet if we don't take care of it, there is also alot of humour. ‘The story begins on Earth about 800 years into the future. There are no humans anymore because they al left in spaceships in the 22 century, when terrible pollution made it impossible to stay. They thought they would only be away for a few years and left behind thousands of robots to clean up the ‘mess they had made, but the pollution was so bad that they couldn't return. Now, 700 years later, all the robots have stopped working - except one, WALL-E, who spends most of his time picking up rubbish and putting it into piles. He has developed feelings and is very lonely, with only 2 pet cockroach for company. Then, one day, a female robot, EVE, arrives ina spaceship. The humans, who are stil living out in space ‘on other spaceships, have sent her to see if theres any sign of life on Earth WALL-E fallsin love with EVE, butt seems she doesnot feel anything towards him. When a spaceship comes to pick EVE up, WALL-E decides to take a chance and follow her into space ~ and that's where the comic adventure really starts. WALL-E and EVE go to a much larger spaceship with a population of humans and robots. We see how living for 700 years away from their planet has changed these humans: they spend their time in chairs that float just above the floor, and have become so fat that they cannot even stand without the help of the robots. Some of the other robots are very funny, such as little M-O, who hates dirt and rushes around the spaceship cleaning things. WALLE starts to influence both the humans and the other robots in important ways, but this isnot the place to say what happens at the end of the film: let's just say it’s a happy ending for WALL-E himself, and that there are positive changes in the humans" behaviour. Eatts 6. Who is WALL-E? [A WALL is one of many robots that the humans let on Earth. B WALLE is the name ofthe spaceship. WALL-E is the only human being who survived the great pollution.
