Lesson 22

Теория (Avoiding Repetition)

Почему это важно

  • Делает текст более читабельным и профессиональным
  • Показывает широкий словарный запас
  • Укрепляет cohesion & coherence (связность текста)
  • Избегает ощущения «детского» или разговорного стиля
❌ The report shows the results. The results are significant.

✔ The report shows the findings, which are significant.

Основные стратегии

1. Использование синонимов / перефразирование

  • increase → rise / growth / improvement
  • important → significant / crucial / essential
  • problem → issue / challenge / difficulty

Пример:

❌ The project has a problem. The problem is costly.

✔ The project has a challenge, which is costly.

Использование местоимений

  • he / she / they / it / this / these / such
  • often combined with relative clauses

Пример:

❌ The policy reduces costs. The policy affects everyone.

✔ The policy reduces costs and affects everyone.

✔ The policy, which reduces costs, affects everyone.

3. Использование абстрактных существительных / Nominalisation

  • Превращаем глаголы в существительные → избегаем повторов
❌ They decided to increase efficiency. They implemented the decision.

✔ They decided on an increase in efficiency and implemented it.

4. Использование синонимических выражений / перефраз

  • in order to → to / so as to / for the purpose of
  • because → since / as / due to the fact that
  • shows → demonstrates / indicates / reveals

Пример:

❌ The study shows that... The study proves that…

✔ The study demonstrates that…

5. Использование грамматических приёмов

  1. Relative clauses: who, which, that
  2. Passive voice: avoids повторение подлежащего
  3. Ellipsis / substitution: do, so, one, such

Пример:

❌ The company introduced new rules. The company monitored employees.

✔ The company introduced new rules and monitored them.

✔ New rules were introduced by the company, which also monitored compliance.

Common mistakes ❌

❌ Частое повторение одного и того же слова: problem / good / important

✔ Использование синонимов или перефразирование

❌ Чрезмерное использование «this» без уточнения

✔ Combine with a noun or relative clause: this decision / this approach

❌ Переполнение текста длинными повторяющимися конструкциями

✔ Use nominalisation, pronouns, substitution
