The English language has been so useful that without it we can’t seem to communicate with others especially those of the other countries. Writers who would love to reach a wider audience use English to be understood across the globe. But most writers today, freelance, amateur or professional still have problems with their articles polished. It is not in grammar books that you get to be an excellent writer but it is how you construct your sentences. Some writing tools though useful, are not those comprehensive but here are some guidelines how to improve your writing by using the 4 C’s.
1. Be correct.

In your English classes, year by year you are thought on how to construct sentences in such a manner that it would be understandable and in correct composition. In writing, you should be correct with your grammar. Your subjects should agree with your verbs. This is just the basic to get understood on the point you would like to express.
2. Be concise.
Once you become correct with your grammar that you feel like you’re the most expert on it, you should also be concise. Beating around the bush will do no good for you. You should be straight to your point to avoid confusion. This also applies to reporters who write so many words that readers no longer understand the point carried across. Be straightforward.
3. Be consistent.
Correct composition of sentences and concise points are not enough to be hailed as a good writer. In the composition of your article you should also be consistent of your stand. There should be coherence in the flow of your thoughts. Your article should be like a river that is flows in a straight to the sea. Each idea should relate to the other.
4. Be complete.
You may be coherent about your ideas but you should also take into consideration that the ideas you express should have a complete thought. The whole article should express a complete idea. Each sentence should have a complete thought that relates to the other ideas within the article. Completeness comes when you are consistent with your message.
Use these guidelines and you’ll see how much improvement you have attained. There will still be uncertainty involved and if ever this happens so you may consult your writing checker tools.
