Question

【題目】

No matter how carefully we check a composition(作品), it seems there’s always one more little mistake waiting to be discovered. The following tips may help you find your mistakes before anyone else does.

First of all, give it a rest. If time is allowed, set your composition aside for a few hours after you’ve finished it, and then read it carefully to correct mistakes with fresh eyes.

Secondly, look for one type of problem at a time. Read through your composition a few times, concentrating first on sentence structures, then word choice, then spelling, and at last punctuation. As the saying goes, if you look for trouble, you’re likely to find it.

If you don’t believe in yourself, you can ask a friend for help. Read your composition to him aloud. You can also ask him to read it aloud. You may hear a problem that you can’t see. Your friend can also help you find some mistakes.

Then, try to read your composition backward. Another way to catch spelling mistakes is to read backward, from right to left, starting with the last word in your composition.

Another method that helps writers a lot is to keep a list of the types of mistakes they commonly make, and then use the list each time they correct their works.
