    It’s not that hard to be a better writer. Seriously, it’s especially true if you’re starting as a non-writer who’s just trying to be competent for day-to-day tasks.

    1．Have a Structure．   1    Your body should consist of paragraphs that are grouped according, to topic, each one dealing with a single element of your subject．

    2．  2   When you say a car runs "fast" , don't leave it at that．Show me how fast it is by ; detailing the vehicle' s top speed and acceleration, along with listing other cars it leaves in the dust．Do the same with every other significant modifier（修饰语） you use．

    3．Don't pad words．  3   Most of the time, this ends up turning what' s essentially nice; writing into unreadable nonsense．You' 11 see this with heavy use of unnecessary adjectives and adverbs, along with useless phrases that can easily be cut off without losing meaning．

    4．Choose good words．Sometimes, the way your text reads comes down to word choice．Don't say " converse" when you can say " speak" ; don' t write " adjudicate" when you say "decide"．  4 

    5．Use a writing software．Notice that we didn't give any advice on grammar．That's because using a quality proofreading software can help you on that end．  5 

    A．Try not to use adjectives and adverbs without providing an explanation．

    B．Don't let anything keep you from it!

    C．Many inexperienced writers tend to pad words to meet word count goals．

    D．Regardless of what you do, your writing should have an introduction and a conclusion．

    E．Basically, put your words to good use and find words that will make the experience easier for your readers．

    F．Some ideas can be quite correct．

    G．Sure, a few mistakes might slip in now and then, but a good tool will take care of most of them．

Nowadays more and more people are trapped in too busy work to relax themselves. We have no time to tell a bed-time story to our children, or enjoy a nice dinner with our family, or take a break to think about how we live the precious life, or even meet friends. All we notice is that the distinctions that used to guide and steady us ------ between Sunday and Monday, public and private, here and there ------ are gone. We have more ways to communicate, but less and less to say. Partly because we’re so busy communicating.
Maybe that’s why more and more people I know, even if they have no religious commitment, seem to be turning to yoga, or meditation, or tai chi. Some friends of mine try to go on long walks every Sunday, or to “forget” their cell phones at home. A series of tests in recent years has shown that after spending time in quiet rural settings, subjects “exhibit greater attentiveness, stronger memory and generally improved cognition. Their brains become both calmer and sharper.” More than that, empathy, as well as deep thought, depends on neural processes that are “inherently slow. ” The very ones our high-speed lives have little time for.
In my own case, I turn to eccentric and often extreme measures to try to keep my sanity and ensure that I have time to do nothing at all. I’ve not yet used a cell phone and I’ve never Tweeted or entered Face book. I try not to go online till my day’s writing is finished, and I moved from Manhattan to rural Japan.
None of this is a matter of principle or asceticism (苦行主义): it’s just pure selfishness. Nothing makes me feel better-----calmer, clearer and happier----than being in one place, absorbed in a book, a conversation, a piece of music. It’s actually something deeper than mere happiness: it’s joy, which the monk David Steindl-Rast describes as “that kind of happiness that doesn’t depend on what happens.” That is the highest of the highest we have been longing for----The Joy of Quiet.

You probably have an image in your mind of what the "perfect" or "ideal" body looks like．Try not to press yourself to look that way．Each person is born with genes that control the shape of his /her body．Everyone is different．It is important to be comfortable with the body you have．"Healthy" and "ideal" are not always the same．Healthy eating habits and regular exercise are the best ways to look and feel your personal best．

Exercise does more than just burn calories．For instance, regular exercise makes your muscles strong and flexible, and increases the amount of muscle you have; makes your heart stronger and lowers your blood pressure; makes you feels more energetic, even when you're not exercising and improves your mood and makes you feel better about yourself．

4._____________________________

Always warm up and stretch for 5--10 minutes before you do strength or endurance exercises．Afterward, take 10 minutes to cool down slowly．Your heart should beat  normally when you stop．Do strength and endurance exercises on alternate days, so you will not overwork your body．Exercising as part of a group may help you to exercise regularly．

5._________________________________

Your body runs best on foods high in complex carbohydrates and low in fat and sugar．You also need a certain amount of protein and plenty of vitamins and minerals．Eating a healthy diet wil1 provide your body with everything it needs to run smoothly．Your body breaks down proteins into amino acids（氨基酸）, so you don’t need to buy the amino acids separately．

Manage your time well for each module(单元), but also make sure you get a good balance between work and social life. That is vital for life in general.

Set aside time specifically for each subject. Try to study one subject a day. You need to balance time. If you are bad at balancing things, make a personal timetable. Even if you do not stick to it, you will have an idea what you should be doing each day. This is better than trying to do everything each day and, at the end of the week, not achieve anything. Also, try to keep your weekends free of studying. Only study at the weekend if you really have to.

I had to learn to balance work, study and family when I was at college. I was a retail assistant working part-time and had at least four modules to complete at the same time at college. I also had to help around the house doing household cleaning and shopping at times. I managed to finish my college work on time, which was very difficult and hard, and still hold down a job.

Why was it possible? Because I only thought about my part-time work when I was at work on the weekends and my college work had to be done from Mondays to Fridays before the weekends. This was hard—but you need to set a timetable for yourself. It was an achievement when I finally realized that things have to be done in order, and need to be organized as well.

Balancing study and other aspects(方面) of your life can be a problem if you have a job or a family, but planning in advance is helpful. Use the time you have well. Do not leave anything until the last minute, as this will only cause problems.
