Chapter 17 lecture notes

April 27, 2004 Before the festival, Director Sha asked Director Tao to write a lecture on situational education.Officer Tao immediately ran to the library, borrowed a bunch of newspapers and periodicals, and took them home.During the festival, he got up early and worked late, accompanied by his wife's nagging, and finished writing the speech.Going to work after the festival, he yawned and handed a stack of copied speeches to Director Sha. "So fast?" Director Sha flipped through the speech, put on his glasses, read the speech while sitting upright, took off his glasses and said, "Officer Tao, this manuscript seems to be written in a mess, is it the first draft?"

Director Tao nodded. "That's right." Director Sha stood up and said, "Reform it properly." Director Tao revised it for two days and handed over the second draft to Director Sha. After looking over it, Director Sha said, "Tsk, I always feel that something is missing... Besides, the writing needs to be changed." Officer Tao didn't stop, and changed for another two days. Director Sha finished reading the third draft, pondered for a long time, and said, "Officer Tao, I still haven't made the changes to the point. It seems that we need to work hard to make changes, and general small changes can't solve the problem."

Director Tao returned home in a daze, fell on the bed and slept hard all night.The next day, he flipped through the newspaper again, laid out new paper, and wrote the fourth draft. "Hey, what's the matter? It's completely changed?" Director Sha patted the speech manuscript and said, "This revision...is not as good as the previous draft." Director Sha was not satisfied with the fifth draft, sixth draft, and seventh draft, so he called it revision.Director Tao was exhausted and didn't know how to make further changes, so he took out the first draft angrily, copied it, and sent it to Director Sha.

After reading it, Director Sha nodded solemnly: "Well, yes, this revision is not bad. The article, don't be afraid to revise, the more you revise, the clearer it is, the better it is!" May 7, 1989
