Leuchtstift - Highlighter

For homework both in sixth form and at university, I was often asked to take away a poorly photocopied article or two and told to highlight the key points. I never got the hang of this, so generally ended up with a bright yellow paragraph with one or two words thrown out of the relevant-words gang. It was same with taking notes from an article too: I’d pretty much just adapt every sentence and stick it as a new bullet point. As this very piece will probably provide ample supporting evidence, concise language use is not a massive strength of mine! The problem is I savour writing, and just enjoy stringing together sentences that offer little to the piece as a whole. Well, perhaps it’s time to change. I’ll italicise the key point of this article: Andrew is not linguistically succinct enough to make concise notes, but enjoys adding mostly superfluous flowery language to hide his obvious ineptitude. There.
