The writer's block
Whatever it is you have to write，the idea of a blank page—or screen—can be very discouraging.Here are a few easy tips to help you overcome your writer's block.
1.Think before you write.
Before you actually start，think about what you want to say，why you want to say it and who you are going to say it to.The most important question to ask is: what response do I want to get?__36__It may be a memo(备忘录) at work.In that case，your main aim is that your reader will be able to get the most important information quickly.
2.Keep it short and to the point.
Use short，simple sentences，written for maximum effect.Make sure that everything you say is relevant to your main aim or message.If you can't，it's probably because you're not really sure of exactly what you want to say.__37__
3.Avoid repetition.
You may feel that a point needs stressing，and that you therefore want to repeat it just to make sure it sinks in.Don't.It's much better to make sure you expressed yourself clearly and simply the first time round.__38__
4.Choose your style carefully.
This takes us back to the first point.__39__ If you know them personally，then you'll also know how best to write to them.Make sure your style reflects both your relationship with your reader and your attitude to what you're writing.If you're writing to an anonymous (不知姓名的) audience，keep your style neutral (中立的).Remember that first impressions are vital.__40__And of course，the wrong choice can do quite the opposite!
A.Remember your reader!
B.Try reading your text aloud to yourself.
C.It'll make your text much easier to process.
D.And if you don't know，your readers definitely won't!
E.The answer to that obviously depends on what you're writing.
F.The right choice of words and tone can help you get off to a great start.
G.If something really needs to be said again，at least find a different way to do so.
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。文章给出了一些写作方面的建议。
36.E [E项中的that指代上文的问句what response do I want to get?你想要得到的回应取决于所写的是什么内容。]
37.D [D项与上文的If you can't，it's probably because you're not really sure of exactly what you want to say相呼应。]
38.G [G项是对上文关于写作时应避免重复的建议的补充说明。]
39.A [第一点建议强调了写作时要注意写作对象是谁;且下文的them指读者。据此可推断，A项恰当。]
40.F [F项与下文的And of course，the wrong choice can do quite the opposite!相呼应。]
