As a student, part of the process of becoming a better writer is learning to revise (修改) one’s written work. You should help your child know that revision addresses organization, focus and purpose, and helps a writer decide whether he or she addresses an audience appropriately and explains his or her thoughts on a clear and logical basis. Editing is the process of reviewing a piece for errors, word choice, clarity, tone and the like. Proofreading is the final quality check for correct spelling and proper punctuation.
Secondly, you need to tell your child that the writing process is made up of several steps. But advanced writers understand that a finished piece should be polished—an impossibility if that piece has not been carefully revised at least once. Your child should think of the writing process as separate steps, each of which is important: planning, outlining, writing, revising, editing, and proofreading.
Thus, thirdly, you are supposed to discuss your child’s written work at the conceptual (概念的) level. If he or she is trying to make the readers believe something in an essay, it is important to ask relevant questions when revising that essay. Is the argument well thought out? How did he or she support that argument?
Overall, revision is about making writing stronger. You can read a newspaper article or essay with your child, and then, ask questions—did the introduction make you want to keep reading? Was the main point clear? Pointing out areas you think were confusing or not as strong as they could be, and offer suggestions on how you would try to improve those areas.
