14. Write down any new vocabulary that is rarely heard, synonyms, and spelling are confusing – for example: just, not just.
15. To practice just to smooth the vocabulary, write it on your computer with all lowercase letters. Beginning of the sentence and the name of President SBY did not need to use capital letters. Also exercise Name. You will not be caught by the police for wasting all CAPS.

31. There is no “sign points” more than four seeds. Only three points if it is written in sentences, and four points if placed at the end of the sentence. writing like this I’ve read in a major newspaper publishing field, written by a journalist who said the senior.
32. Use as little as possible of foreign terms. Great writers are not as good at showing off a lot of English vocabulary and scientific terminology.
33. Sentence quoted directly or ideally a maximum 30 percent of the entire contents of the article.
34. Best time to write: before midnight or wake up the morning after.
