Re: polishing contest
I would advise your girlfriend to begin by cutting unnecessary words. For example:
Quote:the expanding trend of[/u] globalization
Globalization is an expanding process by definition, so calling it an "expanding trend" is redundant. One could simply write "the trend of globalization" or, better yet, just "globalization."
Quote:by which the area of[/u] gender is also affected
One could simply write, "by which gender is also affected."
The area of doesn't add anything to the sentence's meaning. (Incidentally, that whole sentence is in the passive voice. Rather than saying "This is proved by _____," it might be more effective to say "_____ proves this.")
Quote:This work(thesis) deals with the topic of[/u] variety in the area of[/u] gender
One could simply write, "This work deals with the topic of variety in gender," or even "This work deals with variety in gender."
Quote:three major areas of social life - on the level of[/u] family- society, on the level of[/u] specific occupations, and in the area of[/u] relationships of couples.
To economize the word usage, one could write, "three major areas of social life: family, occupations, and relationships" (or, to be more consistent in syntax, "famil
ies, occupations, and relationships").
Quote:The thing is that[/u] in all kinds of descrimination not only we cause unpleasant situation for the discriminated group
The thing is is an extremely clunky phrase. (What "thing" is being referred to in that phrase?) Instead of writing "The thing is that in all kinds of...," it's better to get straight to the point by saying, "In all kinds of..."
Quote:the majority group must necessarily feel[/u]
"Must" and "necessarily" mean the same thing in this context, so there's no need to use both.
This is just a start. There's more to be said; I'll try to add more when I've got a spare moment.
