By William Strunk , Jr., and E.B. White To tell the truth, I have not read the book, so I saw its Chinese version. Suddenly understand, this is a book about English writing books.

B.White,is a prescriptive American English writing style guide comprising eight"elementary rules of usage,"ten "elementary principles of composition,"“a few matters of form,”a list of forty-nine"words and expressions commonly misused,"and a list of fifty-seven"words often misspelled."
“Omit needless words. ”In the book, the White tries to explain to us the importance of " simple"," clear" and" bright" in English writing.At the same time he tells the reader to learn how to delete the unnecessary words, and concise, clear to express their point of view, because ambiguous statement is more serious than wrong.
In addition to these, the author also introduces some form of the problem, some frequently misused words and phrases.
Of course, everything has its two sides, the author also just according to personal preferences to challenge the traditional.For example," the fact that" and so on common grammatical, lexical and other writing rules, the authors think that is wrong, but must know that these are almost

By reading this book, let me know, in any writing should be expressed in "simple"," bright"," accurate", but also should pay attention to some frequent errors and to avoid. However, for the traditional lexical, syntax if not very certain, had better not break easily.。
