#01 Try to use Active voice – Not Passive voice.

Active voice and Passive voice both are there in English grammar to improve the manifestation of the language, but when it comes to a personal profession, you should use Active voice. Basically, Active voice took few words to complete the sentence for example “The president inaugurates the mall.“, but at the same time when you want to say this talk in the passive voice, you will say “The mall was inaugurated by the president.” So here you can see it is adding complexity to the sentence which may make reader bore.

? Active voice makes sentence easy to write and easy to read and understand.
? In passive voice, you have to make usage of “to be” verb form always.

#02 Strong words are good

Words are the power of any language just as they are in fashion journalism no matter how frivolous you think the fashion can be. Your presentation of written work becomes added decorative effects by using the strong words, that is also one of the aims in our MMSCENE print magazine as well. Here the meaning of the strong word is not like complex spelling-oriented words or hard to pronounce words. The Strong word means correct word, the word which is perfectly suitable for the message that you want to convey. Sometimes a sentence loses its actual meaning due to the choice of poor words. Instead of using ‘she opined’ words you can simply use ‘she said’ words which can maintain the focus of reader in your writing.

? The Strong word means exactly appropriate word.
? Use simple but effective words which make a perfectly good impression.

#03 Try to have Short & Sweet approach

The message which you want to give in 30 words never tries to give it in 50 words, because the bunch of unnecessary words will make misunderstanding in your sentence. The actual purpose of the lines will be lost by using unnecessary words. Sometimes many readers are making the same mistake, in greed of adding more length in the article; they are using a bunch of words, which becomes the cause of misunderstanding and wrong interpretation. So always accept the Short & Sweet approach in your writing.

Let suppose you are writing an email to a corporate person then you should not use decorative words or emotional words, you should go for short, sweet and effective words. There if you are using poetry suitable words then it will make the wrong impression. Just like that when you write poetry use emotional and meaningful words, there you can’t use corporate words. When the matter is different you should use different packing. Keep in mind that reader is not having much time to read paragraphs. So always serve the favorite dish to your reader. It should be different when you are writing a letter to your boss/ colleague and friends.
