Revise, Proofread and Evaluate

Revise and Proofread

Writing process at this stage includes 3 main steps, which are revising, proofreading and evaluation.

Firstly, revision is an important step in the writing process, because few writers can produce a satisfactory copy on the first draft. Thus, we should remember the rules, we can call it “KISS”, which means keep it short and simple.

Also, we should keep the sentences clear; it means make the sentences avoid foggy, indirect, and pompous language. Moreover, we should keep the sentences conversational. In sentences, we need to avoid legal terminology, technical words, and third-person constructions, such as the undersigned, the writer. Besides, we should keep the sentences concise.
Make sure that a massage makes its print in the fewest possible words, like we can remove the opening fillers. Furthermore, we should delete unnecessary introductory words, such as the sentences often follows the words “that” and “because”. Also, we should eliminate redundancies. For example, to say “unexpected surprise” is like saying “surprise surprise”, so we must avoid that. Moreover, reducing compound prepositions is necessary for us to know. It means wordy prepositional phrases can be shorted to a single word. Like “as to whether” can be “whether”, and so on.  Also we should kick the noun habit. Like we could change a long none phrase to a simple verb word. Moreover, we can dump trite business phrase, keep the sentences to parallelism, use numbered or bulleted list for quick comprehension, highlight important ideas, and keep the level of massage between grades 8 to 12. All of those rules are mention us write the massage to be short and simple, so that our reader can understand easily and quickly.

Secondly, we should proofread our document after we finish. Also, after we finish our document, we should print it out and put it at least 13 hours, then we can come back to proofread. At that time, we could find the mistakes that we made before. We should proofread through spelling, grammar, punctuation, reader’s name and numbers, and format, such as indent.

Lastly, we should evaluate our writing because we could learn more from the feedback from others. Then, next time, we could be more successful.
