Let's examine each step more closely and see if we can discard any of the steps.
下面让我们再仔细检查一下这些步骤,看是否可以再剔除一些。
1. Choosing a topic. This step is needed regardless of what type of writing you intend to do. Even if you are just sending an email to a friend, there is a reason for sending the message. This reason is the topic of your email.
选题。无论你打算写什么,这都是一个必备步骤。即使你仅仅是给朋友发一封电子邮件,也必须写得有条有理。这就是邮件的主题。
2. Gather information. In this step you find and collect all the information that you believe you will need to complete the writing you plan to do. In certain types of writing, such as a letter to a friend, this step may take place unconsciously. In other types of writing, such as an essay for a class, this step requires time spent doing research.
收集信息。在这一步骤中,收集到所有你认为完成写作所需要的信息。在一些类型的写作中,如给朋友的书信中,这一步骤通常是下意识中完成的。在其它类型的写作中,如课业文章中,这个步骤需要花时间作研究收集材料。
