How to improve written work

1. Check verb formations very carefully (Use the “Verb Tense Guide”)

2. Check adjectives agreements – m, f, pl – and position3. Add intensifiers / adverbs4. Use more connectives5. Include more detail, e.g.: using “qui” (subordinate

clauses)6. Avoid too many “new” ideas and concepts – don’t be

over-ambitious7. Use more opinions8. Justify these opinions – Think: “Could someone ask

why?”9. Read your sentences back to yourself and translate them

into English. Do they make sense?10.Check word order?11.Is it interesting to read or too “pedestrian”?12.Use fancy stuff – direct object pronoun; ce que;

comparatives (plus...) etc
