Essays: Lice Testing

So, you know what an essay is, how to write it correctly and how to spoil it. If you have already prepared the text, the point is small - carefully subtract. Do not look for the corrector right away: there may be logical and factual errors in your text that not a single specialist in the Russian language can correct.

Working with text is similar to diagnosing an organism. There are just as many levels of "diagnosis." We’ll talk about them.

Check for "lice"

By “lice” here we mean insincerity and illogicality. No one except you, yes, maybe two or three close people, will help in this test. Postpone the text for several days (at least until tomorrow), and then go through the text with a fresh look. Think about whether you were sincere at the time of writing, whether the presentation was logical, whether all thoughts were reasonably well reasoned. If everything is in order, let your friends read it and proceed to the next step. If you yourself feel that not everything, recycle the text.

Clarification of facts

A lot is built on the facts. And with them, alas, it is customary to juggle to please yourself. And if this happens with journalists, bloggers, Internet writers - the audience is not very educated, and often lazy, then this focus will not work with teachers and employers. Check every fact. Check with multiple sources. Remember, Wikipedia is not the ultimate truth. And in the encyclopedias can be outdated data. If some fact turned out to be wrong, and your logical chain has collapsed, you will have to rewrite the text.

The extermination of "parasites"

We sorted out the facts. Now - about the text itself. Suppose you are not making speech errors. You are an excellent student of the Faculty of Philology and you know better than a teacher where to put commas. But this will not save you from "parasites." Modal verbs, introductory words and whole constructions, an abundance of adjectives, participles, participles make the text heavy. The network has an interesting service - Glavred, you can use it.For those who have not gone this way and categorically against any work with the text, we can only advise one thing - to write an essay on order. Sometimes it’s easier

"Catching fleas"

You worked with style and did not make any spelling mistakes ... however, are you sure about that? Word will help to make gross errors and typos, but you still have to catch fleas. Pay attention to the consistency of words, -t and -t in verbs, prepositions, etc. Be sure to check punctuation.
