Read aloud

Listen carefully. Notice any words you stumble over, or passages that cause you to run out of breath. These are usually signs that your phrasing is clunky or your sentences are too long. Can you simplify your ideas and make them easier to read?

Try this

Read your draft aloud to a colleague. Mark every point where you stumble or run out of breath.
