Planning is the first stage in writing. Even when we plan a text or a short note,we first think about what we’re going to say.
Planning your writing is thinking about what you’re going to write before you write it. |
The importance of planning
There are many benefits(好处) to planning your writing. It helps you to:
●come up with new ideas
●record your ideas
●organise your thoughts
●check that you have all the information you need
Think about the possible advantages(优势) to planning.
What to think about when planning
When planning your writing, think about why you’re writing, and who you’re writing to.
The reason you’re writing is your purpose(目的) for writing. The audience is the person or the people you are writing to. Every time you write something, think about your writing purpose and your audience. If you’re writing a report for your work supervisor(管理者),you may need to plan what you say carefully to make sure you've included all your points,and that your writing is as clear as possible.
The writing process(过程)
Writing may be done alone or together with one or more people. You may want to write by hand or you may prefer(偏爱) word-processing it. Using a computer can be helpful when you want to make changes to your text, as you can re-draft(改写) using the‘copy’,‘cut’and‘paste’functions, which saves you from writing your text out again in full.
