TRAIN YOUR BRAIN Reading skills
Avoiding repetition in a text
To avoid repetition the writer can use two techniques.
Referencing
Every time a book changes hands, every time
someone runs his eyes down its pages
The writer uses pronouns (e.g. they, its, us, this/that) to refer
1 forwards to information in a text.
2 backwards to information in a text.
Ellipsis
If the meaning is clear, the writer often
1 leaves out the subject and verb in the following sentence if it is the same as the previous one.
2 leaves out the subject and verb to be before adjectives and past participles.
