Get Wise! Mastering Writing Skills
Your reader will probably give up reading your sentence by
the third time he's visited the dictionary. The following
might be easier for most readers to digest:
I hate my annoying brother because lately I
have noticed that he enjoys teasing and
humiliating me in front of my friends.
Or as Chi likes to say:
My brother is a butthead.
Get Wise!
In the following sentences, replace the underlined nonspe-
cific words with specific words you would use in everyday
conversation. Keep your thesaurus and dictionary at your
side to help you while you work and use them often.
