Writing Styles
Writing styles differ from one writer to another, but what makes readers appreciate one writer more than another is the simplicity, vitality and vividness with which they write. Recently, a French teacher wrote critically of my writings, saying that I have to do my best to make them much more easier to understand. However, for other readers, they say that these writings are simplicity itself. Here, I would say that it all depends on the reader. Moreover, there are some novice writers who think that grandiloquent words, idiomatic expressions, structure complexity are what really make one's pieces noteworthy and interesting. And they go on to write a multiple-paragraph essay with so many sentences and with hard vocabulary items condensed together. And I am certain that they could have written only one good paragraph in which they can sum all the things loosely said in the essay. There are many writers, friends of mine, whose pieces I can not put down when I pick them up to read. However, there are others whose pieces I immediately put down the moment I notice a word not used properly and in the right context.
