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
- Relative clauses: who, which, that
- Passive voice: avoids повторение подлежащего
- 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
