? In reality, there are many such examples. For example, at a meeting last week, a department reported a slight increase in profits and a decrease in costs compared with the previous year. After listening, my head is bigger. Profit increase 1 10,000 or 1 10,000, cost decrease 1% or 2%?
In fact, the problem with the above examples lies in the use of abstract words. Abstract words are vague language, such as: temporary, almost, roughly, somewhat, moderately, etc. These are abstract words, which are not only seldom used in life and work, but also taboo in writing.
? Then, in order to describe information accurately and avoid using abstract words, we must learn to use the methods of "comparison" and "setting range". Usually, we should also use these two methods for thinking training.
For example, if you want to express that "it's hard to be a part-time security guard", then you can think: Compared with what? Can be compared with the waiter in the pub. Similarly, you can define the scope. Where is the hardship of part-time security? It can be physical. In this way, the original sentence "it is difficult to be a part-time security guard" can be rewritten as "it is much more difficult to be a part-time security guard than a bartender" or "it is difficult to be a part-time security guard physically".
In addition, in order to make readers read the article more clearly, it is best to explain some technical terms or replace them with other easy-to-understand words.
? I remember a few years ago, I don't know which leader first mentioned the word "terminal". As a result, almost everyone uses "terminal sales", "terminal marketing" and "terminal inventory". At that time, the head was a few laps bigger. I don't know if the so-called terminal refers to a computer or a mobile phone, a back or an air conditioner. So when you use a new term, you must explain it clearly, or simply change it into a popular language that everyone knows.
? In short, if you can avoid using abstract words in your articles, you will convey your information to readers more accurately in your writing, and readers will like your articles.
