Writing practical articles seems simple, but if you don’t put in a lot of effort, it will be difficult to write a good article. This section will analyze this issue.

How to learn to write practical writing

(1) Pay attention to the writing of practical writing

Practical writing is a practical style of writing that people often encounter in work, study, and life. , but because of its simple format, somewhat boring, and wide variety, many people are not very interested in practical writing. They think that if it is really necessary, there will be no problem in improvising and writing, and they do not pay attention to it ideologically. In fact, because practical writing requires conciseness and clarity, writing one thing at a time, the requirements for words are often extremely high, and it is by no means easy to express multiple levels of meaning (such as telegrams) in fewer words. At the same time, if you do not pay attention to practical writing, making jokes about the format will not only make people laugh, but also sometimes hurt other people's emotions or the friendship that has been established between the two parties. Instead of regretting it only when something goes wrong, it is better to pay attention to it in advance.

(2) We must continuously strengthen our basic writing skills

The quality of practical writing is a reflection of a person's language proficiency. Only when a person's basic writing skills are improved can he write good practical articles. Therefore, you should pay attention to learning some basic knowledge of Chinese, such as grammar, rhetoric, logic knowledge, etc.; you should also pay attention to reading some literary works, and improve your ability to observe, analyze, and comprehensively express in life.

(3) Improve your writing level in practice

Practical writing has its own characteristics, and there are certain requirements and formats for writing, so as long as you read more and think more , and continue to strengthen practice, it is completely possible to master practical writing.

Modification of the second practical article

Some people say that the article is modified. This may not be completely correct, but it also illustrates the importance of revision in article writing. The writing practice of many writers at home and abroad in ancient and modern times has well proved this fact, that is, good articles and works are made after many revisions. Therefore, when writing practical articles, you also need to pay great attention to revision. Only in this way can you truly write good practical articles. In a word, revising the article is to improve the quality.

Writing articles is for people to read, especially writing practical articles. Our emphasis on revision is also a manifestation of our responsibility to readers. An article full of errors and omissions will not only be unhelpful to readers, but will actually hurt them.

Modifying articles is also an important way to improve writing skills. Don’t underestimate article modifications. When people revise their articles, they can often discover their own strengths and weaknesses, and discovering your own strengths and weaknesses in writing can often guide your future writing better than others telling you.

When revising daily practical articles, you must also have patience, have a correct understanding, and pay attention to it mentally. There is never anyone who can write a piece of writing without adding a few points, so paying attention to revision is the psychological basis for revising and writing good practical writing. When revising daily practical articles, you must also have the spirit of "cutting love". The process of revision is also the process of deletion. "Delete" can highlight the center, and "delete" can remove some messy and inappropriate things. Have the courage to perform surgery on your own articles.

Reading is a good way to revise. After you finish writing, you can read it through to see if it is coherent, whether there are any mistakes or missing sentences, and whether there are any unclear logic. Generally speaking, after reading an article repeatedly, what is good and what is wrong will be clearly revealed.

Asking others to make changes is also an important method of article revision. Listening to other people's opinions will greatly improve the quality of revisions. Since I am limited to a certain framework, it is often difficult to find any problems after modifications. Therefore, asking others to take a look and make changes at this time will often lead to unexpected gains.

To modify an article, start by modifying the content. Practical writing has a fixed reading target and strong purpose. Whether reflecting situations, explaining problems, exchanging information, summarizing experiences, or making suggestions, the main part is content.

When revising the content, you need to check whether everything that should be written is included and whether it is written clearly.

Format specification is a major feature of practical writing. In addition to modifying the content, it also depends on whether the format of the practical writing is appropriate. There are many kinds of daily application texts, and the formats are also different. Some have titles and signatures, and some don't. They are all types of notes, but the formats of IOUs, receipts, and message notes are also different. Problems with the format are generally common mistakes made by beginners who are new to writing practical essays. Therefore, they should refer to the sample essays, make revisions, and standardize the format.

Also pay attention to the modification of words, sentences, punctuation marks, etc.
