wordiness in Ms. Hart's class

This week in Ms. Hart's class, we discussed the topic of wordiness in our writing. This lesson was helpful. Being wordy, or redundant breaks the main rule in writing... Keep your writing as clear and simple as possible. Another rule we discussed was not to write just to fill up line space. This can create repetitiveness, which can make your audience bored (they are basically reading the same thing over and over again). So, writing isn't about quantity, it is about quality. I was surprised when Ms. Hart told us a small tip for the SATs...On the verbal section, when coming across the question: choose the best way to write this sentence... choosing the shortest sentence can almost guarantee you to score in the 90th percentile... so, short and clear is the way to go! Time to fix my essay...
