3.1 Introduction

This is where the fun really starts! Once you have worked out who you are, who your audience is, what you are writing about, what your purpose is and what your planned document will look like, it is time to start writing. What you will write will be sentences. Clear, well-written sentences are the foundation of good writing. Good writing also involves connecting your sentences clearly and effectively so that your document is a well-integrated whole. You also need to review and revise your writing. Good writing is polished writing.

This chapter will cover advice on:

• how to write clear sentences
• ways to make your writing clearer
• reviewing and revising your work before submission.
