Answer to Question 1

Discuss six ways to make your writing interesting.
Use active verbs, except when you want the statement to be impersonal. The subject of the sentence should do the action.

Make the subject of the sentence a person, idea, or thing.

Use specific, meaningful words. Use general or abstract words only when a concept has not yet been reduced to specific terms.

Use familiar words and phrases in place of unfamiliar words and phrases.

Use a phrase or a clause to describe rather than an adjective or an adverb.

Use short words instead of long words.
