In writing, neat effectiveness is very important. After writing a piece, carefully proofread it and see which word or phrase will impress your point deeper on your reader, and fit it.

Mind, proofreading shouldn’t be done in any hurry. Many miscue it to be an easy task, but, this is a rock from where even people having the best eyes fell.

Probably, proofreading immediately after you are over with your assignment might make you skip the errors. So, take a coffee break to change your mind, and then calmly go through your write-up. A responsible person who could spot errors in your piece would be better than anybody.

Proofreading isn’t difficult if you have an easy and alert mind.
