How I write

How I write
-Bertrand Russell

The essays of Russell often make me comfortable. Such comfort even overcomes the hardship seldom during this English reading.
Russell has the skill to analysis critically, explain clearly, and response his question honestly.

Here is what Russell suggest people how to write:
  1. Never use a long word when a short word will do.
  2. If you want to make a statement with a great many qualification, put some of the qualifications in separate sentences.
  3. do not let the beginning of your sentence lead the reader to an expectation which is contradicted by the end.

The key to time management is getting your goal clear.
So, for an example, to write a reading summarize is my goal right at the monment.
And how many ways can I write an reading summarize here? Clarify these points will make you effective.

there is always a method to find out the reason of being time-consuming and sloving it:

  1. State the problem
  2. Observe the situation
  3. Reflect on and evaluate the situation
  4. Plan a course of action
  5. Carry out the plan
  6. Monitor to see that the plan is carried out and what effects are
  7. Pause for review of activity, using the chosen measures or characterizations of success/failure.
  8. Modify the plan.
  9. Repeat 5-8 as necessary.
