The most important trick to improving your English usage in your thesis, essay, or research paper is to write as you speak. Don’t try to impress your professor or supervisor by using fancy wording or long, complicated sentences. Keep your writing as simple and straightforward as you can.
The more direct and natural you make your writing, the easier it will be for your readers and editors to understand what you are trying to say.
Here is an example:
original text – while he was trying to save some money the boy took the opportunity to attempt to walk to the shop for some exercise.
Better version: the boy walked to the shop to get some exercise, save some money and buy groceries.
The meaning is the same, but it’s easier to read.
The best writing creates pictures in the reader’s mind.
Try to write your thesis or essay in such a way that anyone can understand it.
Shakespeare’s plays were written to entertain common people. That is why his plays are still perfomed in many different languages, all over the world today. He used normal straightforward language that a gravedigger, a farmer or a labourer could understand.
