    Whether you want to improve your writing skills as a creative writer or simply perfect your skills for schoolwork, you can take some steps to learn how to be a better writer.

    1. Use active instead of passive voice.

    In English, the most basic sentence structure is S-V-O: Subject-Verb-Object. The passive voice usually requires more words and use of a “to be” verb form, which can suck the energy out of your writing. Learn to avoid these constructions as much as you can. 1. It conventionally uses the passive voice to put the emphasis on the results, rather than the researchers.

    2. 2.

    Finding the right verb or adjective can turn an uninspired sentence into one people will remember and quote for years to come. Look for words that are as specific as possible. Strong doesn't mean obscure, or more complicated. Don't say "utilize" when you could say "use." 3.

    3. Cut the chaff.

    4. You don't get points for saying in 50 words what could be said in 20, or for using multi-syllable words when a short one does just as well. It might feel good at first to pack a lot of ideas and details into a single sentence, but chances are that sentence is just going to be hard to read. If a phrase doesn't add anything valuable, just cut it. 5. If you notice that your writing is filled with "-ly" words, it might be time to take a deep breath and give your writing more focus.

    A. Use strong words.

    B. Show, don't tell.

    C. Good writing is simple, clear and direct.

    D. The main exception to this is science writing.

    E. Cutting the chaff is best done at the editing stage.

    F. "He sprinted" is not necessarily better than "he ran."

    G. Don't write "screamed fearfully" -- "scream" already suggests fear.

    Secrets to a great life

    A great life doesn’t happen by accident. A great life is the result of allocating your time, energy, thoughts, and hard work towards what you want your life to be. 1.

    A great life is the result of simplifying your life. People often misunderstand what simplify means. 2.When you focus on simplifying your life, you free up energy and time for the work that you enjoy and the purpose for which you are here. In order to create a great life, you will have to make room for it in yours first.

    A great life is the result of your best effort. 3. It may mean re-evaluating how you spend your time, or choosing to spend your money in a different way. It may mean looking for new ways to spend your energy that coincide with your particular definition of a great life.

    4.It's easy to spend your days just responding to the next thing that gets your attention, instead of intentionally using the time, energy and money you have in a way that's important to you. Focus on removing the obstacles that get in the way of you making sure you are doing things of greater significance.

    A great life is the result of starting. There’s the old saying everyone’s familiar with “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” In order to even move from the couch to the refrigerator, you have to start. There’s no better time to start than today.5.Today, right now, is the right day to start to take a step in the direction of your heart’s desires.

    A. Look around at someone’s life you admire.

    The editor of the new Cool Camping Britain guide chooses some of his favorite new finds in England, Wales and Scotland.

    Cleadale, Isle of Eigg, Inner Hebrides

    Is this Britain’s most beautiful campsite? From the grassy point looking seaward to the mountains, it’s not hard for campers to see how the island inspired The Lord of the Rings author’s fantasy landscapes. The campsite itself is as wild and wonderful as its setting.

    Open April - September, from ￡5 per tent per night.

    Swattesfield, Thornham Magna, Suffolk

    Deep in the wilds of north Suffolk, this seven-acre campsite has only been open for a few years, with two fields separated by a lake and surrounded by woodland. The position is perfect. It’s a great place to do nothing but get into nature. You can put up your tent in the bottom field or the woodland beyond.

    Open Easter - October, from ￡10 per tent per night.

    Pleasant Streams Farm, near St Austell, Cornwall

    This site, by a lake, is all about simple pleasures. Located in the former mining village, it has a summerhouse(凉亭) with books and games for a rainy day. There are many animals including pigs, hens, goats and ducks on the farm and a pub just a 10- minute stroll away. There’s very little to do here, no bells and no whistles. Campfires are encouraged.

    Open Easter - September, from ￡10 per tent per night.

    Troytown Campsite, St Agnes, Isles of Sciily

    Its only campsite, Troytown, couldn’t be in a more remote position. Isolation is its greatest advantage — so bring plenty of books to read and don’t expect a phone signal. But at least one of life’s necessities is available. Lying on the hillside overlooking the bay and near the island of the Gugh, it might just win the prize for best beer garden view in England.

    Open March - October, from ￡7. 50 per tent per night,

    1.Which of the following is TRUE about Cleadale, Isle of Eigg, Inner Hebrides?

    A. It has been open for a few years.

    B. A beautiful lake surrounds it.

    C. It offers the longest service.

    D. The rent of a tent per night is the lowest.

    2.Which place can you choose if you like a simple farm life?

    A. Cleadale, Isle of Eigg, Inner Hebrides.

    B. Swattesfield, Thornham Magna, Suffolk.

    C. Pleasant Streams Farm, near St Austell, Cornwall.

    D. Troytown Campsite, St Agnes, Isles of Scilly.

    3.In Troytown Campsite, St Agnes, Isles of Scilly, you can’t ________.

    A. contact others by phones B. view the bay from the hillside

    C. get everyday necessities D. relax yourself by reading

    The office has always been a place to get ahead. Unfortunately, It is also a place where a lot of natural resources start to fall behind. Take a look around next time you’re at work. See how many lights are left on when people leave. See how much paper is being wasted. How much electricity is being used to run computers that are left on. Look at how much water is being wasted in the rest-rooms. And how much solid waste is being thrown out in the rubbish cans. We bet it’s a lot.

    Now, here are some simple ways you can produce less waste at work. When you are at the copier, only make the copies you need. Use both sides of the paper when writing something less important. Turn off your lights when you leave. Use a lower watt bulb in your lamp. Drink your coffee or tea out of your mugs instead of single-use cups. Set up a recycling box for cans and one for bottles. And when you’re in the bathroom brushing your teeth or washing your face, don’t let the tap run. Remember, if we use fewer resources today, we’ll save more for tomorrow.

    Dos and Don’ts for USA Travel

    Despite what difficult procedures (程序) you may have endured to get to the U.S., including visa troubles, airport security screenings, and the like, the United States is a rather relaxing place once you arrive. 1. Following are basic tips about traveling in the USA.

    Don’t try to see and do too much.

    2. Many foreign visitors to the United States try to see New York, Washington DC, Miami, and Los Angeles all in one trip. That kind of touring can leave a traveler very tired if you have limited vacation days. The best way is to focus on a region and more deeply.

    3.

    While traveling in the United States, do be sure to smile, ask questions, say “please” and “thank you”, and be patient. In almost all cases, your kindness will be rewarded by locals who want to show you the best of their cities and towns.

    Do obey traffic signs and laws.

    Traveling outside of the United States, I have noticed that stop lights and “No Parking” signs in some parts of the world are only suggestions for drivers. Not in America. Drivers must come to a full stop at a red light and remain stopped until the light turns green. 4.

    Do be on time.

    America take punctuality very seriously. 5. Give yourself more time than you think you’ll need to get to some place, especially if you’re not familiar with the area as unexpected delays can happen, such as heavy traffic.

    A. It is considered rude to be late.

    B. Besides, drivers should obey the speed limit.

    C. Do be kind, smile, and enjoy yourself.

    D. Don’t assume you can smoke anywhere.

    E. The United States is larger than Europe.

    F. Try to use the vocabulary they use in their everyday life.

    G. But we do have a few rules that foreign visitors may not know about.
