After reading Williams's excerpt, it can be concluded that the principles of style for writing are as follow:
- The writer should use the direct active voice
- The writer should "put the ideas that you have already mentioned, referred to, or implied, or concepts that you can reasonably assume your reader is already familair with, and will readily recognize" (p. 48)
- Moreover, the writer shoud "put the newest, the most surprising, the most significant information: information that you want to stress-perhaps the information that you will expand on in your next sentence" (p.48) It's like that teacher always try to connect something we already know to whatever new we're trying to learn.
- The writing shoud begin with topics because they are very important in the ways reader read. The topic of a sentence is called "psychological subject." It can be a few words of a sentence, a noun phrase.
- The topic is ideas of the beginning of each clause define a passage is centrally for a reader.
To manage subjects and topics for flow writing is switching the subject and complement.
Lastly, the process of summing up is the use of the beginning of your sentences to refer to what have been already mentioned or choose topics that will control your reader's point of view and organize your sentence is important too.
