Useful version, fewer words
Revise a water explanation for an imaginary younger visitor, retaining correct process meaning and one useful limit.
Try it
- Choose an imaginary younger visitor and one ordinary water explanation.
- Save the first version, shorten it, then check that the process direction and one useful limit remain clear.
- Check the product and say why you kept or changed one part. Tell or show it in your usual way: words, drawing, pointing, signing, typing, dictation or your communication device. Work quietly or privately, pause, ask for a helper, or return later. Sharing and recording are optional.
Grown-up help
Look for: Explain why the shorter wording serves that audience; spelling/detail quantity are not the science criterion.
Next help: If shortening removed the process meaning, restore the start-state, process and end-state before deciding which other words can go.
