Writing:
1.Writing for General Purposes: General or Specific Word Writing Strategy
If you want to write well, one of the most important decisions you have to make is the choice of words. The following guidelines may be useful:
Use specific words instead of general ones.
Use idiomatic expressions and words in acceptable collocations. The term idiom sometimes refers to the normal word order or to the normal way of expressing an idea. For instance, in English people say “baby girl” instead of “girl baby” as in Chinese.
2.Writing for Specific Purposes: Notice
