The Seven Cs of a Good Letter
What is the secret of writing a good letter? Here are two main points. Don't try to be fancy (花哨).
Don't try to impress your reader. You will be successful if you follow these seven Cs.
Clear. Use short, direct sentences. 1_____ Long and difficult sentences won't help express yourself
clearly. Write the letter as if the reader were right there with you. Above all, don't use an introduction.
Correct. 2_____. Don't guess, even for spelling. Refer to your dictionary. If you need to, check a
reference (参考) book too. Use them as much as you need to.
Complete. Don't scatter (分散) your points. 3_____. This is good organization too.
Courteous. Be polite and friendly rather than overly casual. Give your information nicely even if you
are complaining about something. In all letters, treat others as you want them to treat you.
Concise. Make each point as clearly and briefly as you can.
Conversational. This informal style of conversation is really the secret of good writing. 4_____. Such
a letter has a natural, friendly tone (语气). Let your personality come through naturally.
Considerate. 5_____ Write about what the reader needs or wants to know. Try to be helpful. This will
build good feeling to you.
The seven Cs are about writing letters. But how about school papers? Use the seven Cs too. Write as
if you were talking to your teacher or professor. You'll be surprised. You'll almost immediately become a
good writer. And you might even enjoy writing from now on.
A. Just "talk" to the person.
B. Think of the reader's point of view.
C. Make them easy to understand.
D. Include long sentences in your letter.
E. Make sure what you say is correct.
F. Writing shouldn't be taken too seriously.
G. Finish one point completely before going on to the next.
