30 Tips To Write Well

Posted by: Marcelo Galvani In: Tips

1. Avoid the max. is used in several. of abbrev., etc..

2. It is unnecessary to employ a writing style too far-fetched. This practice stems from excessive care that streak narcissistic exhibitionism.

3. Blank alliterations highly abusive.

4. do not forget the capital letters at the beginning of sentences.

5. Avoid cliches like the devil runs away from the cross.

6. The use of brackets (even when relevant) is unnecessary.

7. Loanwords are out; words of Portuguese origin are in.

8. Avoid the use of slang, even though it looks nice, got it? so thanks!

9. Profanity, damn, can turn your text into a shit.

10. Never generalize: it is a mistake to generalize across all situations.

11. Avoid repeating the same word as that word is going to be repeating a word. The repetition of the word will make the repeated word disqualify the text where the word is repeated.

12. Do not overuse quotes. As a friend of mine likes to say: Who cites the other has no ideas of their own.

13. Incomplete sentences can cause

14. Do not be redundant, needless to say the same thing in different ways, that is, just to mention every argument once, or in other words, do not repeat the same idea several times.

15. Is more or less specific.

16. Sentences with one word? Never!

17. The passive voice should be avoided.

18. Use punctuation correctly the point and comma as the phrase may be meaningless in particular is that no one else knows how to use the question mark

19. Who needs rhetorical questions?

20. As recommended Agop, never use acronyms unknown.

21. Overselling is a hundred million times worse than moderation.

22. Avoid mesóclises. Repeat after me: "mesóclises: I will avoid them!"

23. Analogies in writing are as useful as a chicken horns.

24. Do not abuse the exclamations! Never! Your text is ugly!!

25. Avoid excessively long sentences because they hamper the understanding of the idea contained in them, and they contain more than one central idea, which does not always make the content accessible, force, thus, the poor reader to separate it in its various components order to make them comprehensible, which should not be, after all, part of the process of reading, a habit that we should encourage through the use of shorter sentences.

26. Beware of hortografia, not estrupar the Portuguese language.

27. Be firm and consistent, or not.

28. Do not be writing (or speaking) gerund. You will be leaving his text to be poor and causing ambiguity, for sure you will be leaving weird content, will be getting the feeling that things are still happening. And as you will be reading this, I'm sure you'll be paying attention and will be passing on to their friends, who will be understanding and will be thinking not be talking this way annoying.

29. Another atrocity that you should avoid che, is to use many expressions that will eventually withdraw from the region where you live you, carajo! Send this .. anything .. shake ... vixi understand pet?

30. Do not allow your text ends up rhyming, because otherwise no one will stand as it is unbearable to listen to the same end, all the time without stopping.

Set as colinha to avoid common mistakes.
