4. a. Read the writing tip below. Is it a good piece of advice?

If you want to write a good essay or report, you should always try to use words that convey your meaning vividly but accurately. If you imagine your poor teacher at her desk reading “The book was interesting” a hundred times, you will probably decide to change your writing style. Skilful writing is not easy; one way to develop more interesting writing is to avoid tired or overused words. You probably know the meanings of many words, but you don’t use them in your speech or your writing. Read over the following sentence, for example: The book was very interesting. The word “interesting” is overused and you may want to explore other ways to convey the same message. For example: The text was quite motivating. This work, which was actually one of Mark Twain’s first endeavours, was captivating. Never forget that your teacher reads many, many papers. Always strive to make your paper special and not boring! If you want your paper to stand out from the others, use your words effectively.

b. Find examples of Conditional I in the text with:

1. a modal verb;

2. a Future Simple verb;

3. an imperative verb in the main clause.

c. Read about “tired words”. With your partner, find synonyms for them.

Some words are so overused they are just plain boring. You shouldn’t avoid these words altogether, you should take care to substitute them with more interesting words whenever appropriate. Some tired and overused words are: bad, beautiful, big, fine, good, great, happy, interesting, look, nice, quite, really, said, so, very, well.

d. Do the task suggested by the author of the writing tip.
