1.3 Causes
I used a lot of unnecessary words in this report because I had a very large
minimum page requirement to meet. In the future, it will be more beneficial for
me to focus on content development rather than adding extra words when trying
to meet certain project requirements.
(will introduce)
Toms of Maine is seeking to introduce a new and innovative toothbrush to the global
market that will benefit the Dental Health for All program.
2.3 Causes
The cause of weak verb usage is simply a lack of business writing knowledge. I
was writing in a more essay format or conversational style that is not appropriate
to business documents.
Keeping to the average 14-18 words per sentence business prose style will keep sentences
short and emphasis of a sentence more focused.
4.3 Causes
Excess words in a sentence are likely caused by a tendency to write as we speak.
In conversation, we can place emphasis by use of vocal tone and pitch. It is more
different when trying to convey emphasis in writing.
5.0 Conclusion
The concepts that I will need to work on after conducting this analysis include eliminating
unnecessary material and stress emphasis. I enjoy fiction writing and therefore have a difficult
time keeping things short and dry. Eliminating unnecessary material also helps to create stress
emphasis where appropriate. In focusing on both of these concepts, my business writing skills
will greatly sharpen.
