Ø 3. Choose the right level of formality (根据不同场合选择合适的语言)
Don’t email your new boss to say that you love her. 不要给你的新老板发邮件说你爱她。
For example(比如):
Version 1: The government should pay to help people to stop smoking to stop them from getting all kinds of gross diseases and so other people don’t have to breathe that nasty stuff.
Version 2: The US government should fund smoking cessation programs to reduce the incidence of smoking-related diseases and prevent bystanders’ exposure to harmful secondhand smoke.
Analysis: Version 2 要比Version 1 语言更加正式,在比较正式的场合中,注意避免缩写,不要使用模糊的词语,要选择强有力的动词,名词和形容词,Version 2 的语言要更专业。
