Brevity, as they say, is the sister of talent. Everyone wants to show off their talent, but his sister is a complicated thing. For some reason, ingenious thoughts by themselves are clothed in complex sentences with many adverbial expressions. However, it is in your power to simplify your suggestions and make them understandable and accessible to everyone.
Instructions
Step 1
To make life easier for the addressee (be it a listener or reader), try to replace participial and participial phrases with short subordinate clauses, especially if there are too many of the above phrases in one sentence. "A cat that came home, just ate a mouse, purring loudly, caressed the owner, trying to look into his eyes, hoping to beg the fish brought from the store" - this will not work. Break such a structure into several parts, take your time and do not try to say everything in one sentence, and you will be happy.
Step 2
If you have conceived a brilliant statement, but there are too many subordinate clauses in it (especially with one union), then it is better to split the statement into several separate sentences or omit some element. “We decided that he would tell Marina Vasilyevna that Katya would tell Vitya that…” - you can go on and on. Stop in time and think about the person who will read or listen to this.
Step 3
However, the pitfalls lie not only in the sentence structure. Pay attention to the vocabulary. Foreign words, long terms, words gleaned from the fiction of the 19th century - all this will only complicate the perception. It is necessary to clarify for yourself for which audience you are composing the text: techies, of course, will understand both complex terms and specific words; but if you offer the same words to a teacher of literature, she is unlikely to understand you.
Step 4
Talent is a great thing. If you are talented (and there are no people without ability), many roads open before you. But talent is not complexity, but simplicity, oddly enough. Keep it simple and your talents will be understood and accessible to everyone.
