To improve your production skills, follow this advice:
Take
into account the word limit in a writing paper.
Do not exceed the time allowed in the test.
Do not start writing without having done any
planning.
Do not continue writing for the entire period, but rather spend AT
LEAST five minutes looking for “your” kinds of mistakes.
- Some of these possible mistakes you should look out for are on this CHECK LIST:
Give it a title whenever it’s required.
Divide a different ideas in separated paragraphs.
Use an evident intro, body, and conclusion.
If the writing is formal, avoid contractions.
DO NOT repeat the same word 5 times. Think of a
synonym.
DO NOT use words from the LIST OF BORING
WORDS.
TRY TO AVOID repetition of subjects etc. by
using ELLIPSIS and SUBSTITUTION
DO use complex sentences (multiple clauses,
relative clauses, compound verbs, linking words are all examples of how these
are formed.)
DO use linking words and DO use organization to
make your writing flow logically from point to point. Linking words show
relationships and are well worth studying. There are many excellent
websites on this, one of which is https://www.gcu.ac.uk/gsbs/ldc/academicwriting/
