What is the concept of colloquial writing?

Spoken language is the language used for oral communication, that is, everyday speech. Spoken language is flexible and changeable, and can be used freely depending on the occasion and the speaker. Because the speaker and the listener are at the same scene, sometimes this kind of use not only does not affect the listener's understanding, but can more vividly reflect the speaker's mentality, or make the language concise. As opposed to spoken language, written language is developed on the basis of spoken language and is used for written expression.

Of course, written language must be used in composition. Compared with spoken language, written language is more formal, rational, neat, and elegant, and is more in line with the formal and public context of life, so public roles must be used in certain appropriate situations. In the context, speaking in written language is completely appropriate. Just imagine, the president of the country presides over a ceremony to welcome foreign presidents to visit China. Instead of saying: "Your Excellency, President, welcome to visit China," he says, "Brother, have you eaten?" Isn't it a joke? Adding spoken language to writing should be based on the needs of expression. The use of spoken language in novels is to shape the characters and make the works more real and lifelike. Just imagine, in the scene in "Wreaths Under the Mountain" where Commander Lei scolds his mother, it is not "Grandma is a bear. Whoever dares to open the back door to the battlefield, I will let his son blow up the bunker", but "We must resolutely put an end to evil practices." "Party members and cadres must seriously study the Three Represents." Wouldn't the artistic charm be greatly compromised? ! In a word, the use of language must be based on the purpose of expression and consistent with the context. When speaking in written language, you must pay attention to the purpose of speaking, the person speaking and the specific context at that time. When writing spoken English, pay attention to the purpose of writing and the context in the text.

The language used in written communication is the opposite of spoken language. Its characteristics are that it must be precise, rigorous, standardized and logical. For example: when we express an agreed point of view, we often say in spoken language: "Well, that's right, I think the same as you...", but in written language we say: "Yes, I agree, I agree."

Anyway, when you write, try to keep the story short. Don’t express one thing in a long-winded way like you usually do.
