EVERYONE CAN WRITE: A GUIDE TO GET YOU STARTED

Book ID/图书代码： 04410014B69232

English Summary/英文概要： Everyone Can Write is an easy-to-understand, practical, ’how to write’ book that is accessible to everyone from a business executive wanting to polish his reports to a retiree wanting to chronicle her family history. It solves the problems that beginning writers struggle with by giving them an easy-to-follow and simple set of rules that allows them to write rapidly and clearly. The book outlines the three forms of non-fiction writing: report, narrative and essay. Each one is dissected and a set of rules applied to each structure. The rules are easily put into practice and vary for each structure. For example, in report writing, two easy-to-apply rules are: 25 words to a sentence and 3 or 4 sentences in a paragraph. The author has also developed a foolproof method of structuring your writing, so that you make effective use of your time. It’s based on the easy-to-remember three-step formula: Pre-write, Free-write, Re-write. Pre-write refers to researching the necessary information. Free-write refers to getting the information onto the computer screen. Re-write refers to the essential task of editing the writing into clear readable text. This technique allows writers to become the editors of their own writing, thereby dramatically improve its quality. The essentials of grammar and punctuation, easily confused words and other useful tips for writers are also covered.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《人人都是作家》简单实用，无论你是想使自己的报告更加精致的业务主管还是想撰写家庭故事的退休工人，这本书都非常适用。它将教授刚起步写作的人们简单的写作规则，从而使他们能又快又清晰地记录自己的思绪。《人人都是作家》着重于三种写作体裁：报告，叙事和散文，每一种体裁都被作者深度剖析，并分析了适用于这些体裁的写作规则，而这些规则往往很快就能上手，在很多结构中都能得到运用。例如，在报告写作中，就有2条非常简单的写作规则，一句话25个单词，一个段落3至4句话。作者还研究了一套万无一失的结构写作技巧，使读者们可以更有效地利用自己的写作时间。这种写作技巧是建立于三个简单的步骤之上的：那就是预写，自由创作与改写。预写是指收集必要的写作素材，自由创作则是将自己的想法变为电脑屏幕上的文字，而改写则是把自己当成编辑，提高段落的可读性，这个步骤相当重要，可是使文章的质量大大提升。书中还强调了语法和拼写的重要性，以及易出错的单词和有用的一些小贴士。（XAT）
