5 ways to get rid of writing errors
It is unlikely that the employer will evaluate your competence if you are a “producer” or “realtor”. And to sell the "goblin" is much more difficult than the "gobelin". Literacy is an indicator of professionalism and quality.
The school rules of the Russian language are forgotten over time. We begin to get confused even in the simple: “fit” or “fit”, “put on” or “put on”, “socks” or “sock”, for “birthday” or “for birthday”? And text editors are not always reliable. For example, Word and Pages do not recognize an error in the word expresso.
What if spelling is your weak spot? Five ways to help improve literacy.
1. Read more.
Reading helps to remember the correct spelling of words and indirectly expands the vocabulary. Try to read as often as possible: morning and evening, at home and at work. Even if you don’t have a single free minute, read: in transport, in the lunch break, in the queue in the store, in the intervals between sets in the gym - use all possible “windows”. Read aloud, even in a whisper. Speaking through the text, you will quickly learn the grammar and remember combinations of lexical units, you will be able to “adopt” the author’s style - this is especially useful for those who want to write interesting and fascinating.
2. Practice writing daily.
No one will learn to swim, standing not on the shore. The same thing with the letter. Even if you have nothing to write, keep a diary or blog, write letters to your friends - real or fictional, participate in discussions on forums. The main thing is to write something. Hone your skills daily - only in this way you can achieve the result.
3. Replenish your vocabulary.
Make it a rule to recognize one new word per day. Attend lectures, read specialized magazines. Use all possible resources where you can meet unfamiliar words. We heard a new word on the street, in a cafe, at work - spend a couple of minutes to find out its meaning and origin. Believe me, this can be a fascinating activity and a good help in the development of erudition.
For example, did you know why a hair dryer is called a “hair dryer”? The source of the name was a strong, gusty, warm and dry wind blowing from the mountains into the valleys - “fen”.
Mind games like Scrabble or Word for Word, puzzles, crosswords, help to learn and remember new words. Involve colleagues, friends, children in the game. Working as a team or competing, you will learn and remember more new information.
4. Create your own dictionary.
Write down “difficult” words or even entire sentences in a notebook or notebook - create a personal dictionary. Carry the dictionary with you in your bag or pocket and periodically look into it. So you quickly and easily remember the words and constructions in which you often make mistakes.
5. Check yourself.
Often when writing text, doubts creep in - are there any errors? Take your time, find the right one. And even if you are sure that the text is grammatically perfect, check yourself. To do this, it is not necessary to keep a dozen dictionaries on the table - their electronic versions are on the Internet.
Improving literacy is not as difficult as it seems at first glance. The main thing is to work on it.
