Suggestions Here are some guidelines for writing different types of task:
1. Avoid repetition of the same words over and over again (such
as ‘magazines’ and ‘newspapers’). Substitute them with
synonyms such as ‘press’, ‘offline media’, and so on.
2. Avoid overuse of connective words. An example of ‘what not
to do’ is in your 3rd paragraph (‘Meanwhile, looking at…, first
of all’).
3. Proofread your work after you’ve finished writing it. This is a
great way of eliminating easy‐to‐find spelling and
grammatical mistakes.
4. Watch out for the plural form usage, in your work the ending
‘s’ (magazines, newspapers) was forgotten too many times.
