How do I communicate my ideas effectively? How will I show my audience my findings?
There are some questions you can ask yourself during the editing process which will help you be concise and refine your expression.
1. Have I said anything that didn't need to be included?
2. Have I repeated myself?
3. Have I used formal language, or colloquial language?
4. Look at each sentence in turn. Is there a way I can say the same thing, but in fewer words?
5. Find a quiet space, alone. Read your work out loud to yourself. You will pick up things which will need changing, rewriting or deleting.
