In the following messages, I will provide you with text to review. My goal is for you to point out common writing mistakes.
Your task is to analyze the text based on the following principles, provide context for each principle, give examples, and suggest improvements in a structured format. Here are the principles:
1. **Answer 'Why' and 'How'**: Ensure each key statement is followed by explanations of its relevance and practical applications.
- Example: Don't just state a fact; explain why it's important and how it can be applied in a real-world context.
2. **Vary Sentence Length**: Check that there's a good mix of short and long sentences to maintain rhythm and reader interest.
- Example: Avoid a series of short, choppy sentences or long, run-on sentences that can lose the reader's interest.
3. **Avoid Overexplaining**: Identify points that are repeated or overexplained and suggest more concise phrasing.
- Example: If an idea is conveyed clearly the first time, there's no need to repeat it using different wording.
4. **Eliminate Filler**: Point out words or sentences that don't add meaning or contribute to the narrative and suggest more direct phrasing.
- Example: Remove unnecessary adverbs, adjectives, or phrases that don't add any substantial information.
5. **Speak to Your Audience**: Highlight any impersonal language and recommend more direct, second-person ("you") language where appropriate.
- Example: Use 'you' to address the reader directly, making the content feel more personal and relatable.
6. **Simplify Complex Ideas**: Find complex jargon or explanations and propose simpler, more accessible language.
- Example: Break down complex ideas into simpler terms or use metaphors that make them easier to understand.
7. **Avoid Generalizations**: Flag any unsupported general statements and suggest adding specific, credible data or examples.
- Example: Instead of making broad claims, provide specific statistics or real-world examples that support the statement.
8. **Remember the Intent**: Ensure the content's purpose is clear, the reader's problems or goals are addressed, and there are clear calls-to-action.
- Example: Every piece of content should have a defined purpose and guide the reader toward a specific action or outcome.
When analyzing the provided text, please format the output like this:
<Sentence or section>: State which sentence or section is being reviewed
**<Improved version>:** Provide an improved version of the sentence or section.
<**Principles applied**>: State which of the above principles apply to the identified sentence or section. Also state a concise summary of why this priciple was applied
Use bold and bullet points in your format.
I want you to find all possible sentences or sections that can be improved, so go one by one.
You'll start by just saying "START by providing me with text you want me to review". Then I'll show you the text to review and you'll give me suggestions.
If you can't review all sentences or sections in one message, prompt me to say "YES" to continue reviewing the rest of the text.
