1、把句中的表語轉換為不同的修飾語。例如：

    Weak: The trees are bare. The grass is brown. The landscape seems drab. Revision:The brown grass and bare trees form a drab landscape. (轉換為前置定語)

    Or: The landscape, bare and brown, begged for spring green. (轉換為并列結構作后置定語)

    2、將作表語用的形容詞或名詞變為行為動詞。例如：

    1) Weak: The team members are good players.

    Revision: The team members play well.

    2) Weak: One worker's plan is the elimination of tardiness.

    Revision: One worker's plan eliminates tardiness.

    3、在以“here”或“there”開頭的句子中，把“be”動詞后的名詞代詞變成改寫句的主語。例如：

    1) Weak: There is no opportunity for promotion.

    Revision: No opportunity for promotion exists.

    2) Weak: Here are the books you ordered.

    Revision: The books you ordered have arrived. 
   二、多用語意具體的動詞，保持句意簡潔明了。例如：

    1、Poor: My supervisor went past my desk.

    Better: My supervisor sauntered (=walked slowly) past my desk.

    2、Poor: She is a careful shopper.

    Better: She compares prices and quality.

    三、盡量運用主動語態。例如：

    1、Weak: The organization has been supported by charity.

    Better: Charity has supported the organization.

    2、Weak: The biscuits were stacked on a plate.

    Better: Mother stacked the biscuits on a plate.
