问题     Revision is rethinking, but two misconceptions are by
no means uncommon among writers, especially among
developing writers. First, many a writer mistakenly equate            【M1】______.
revision with editing and proofreading. Editing means revising
for "surface errors" --mistakes in spelling, grammar, punctuation,
sentence tense, and word choice. Certainly, good writers comb their
papers through such errors, and they edit their prose extensively for 【M2】______.
clarity, conciseness, and emphasis, too. Proofreading to search

Remember that revising is not a tacked-on stage nor is it merely a
quick touch-up; it is an integral part of the entire writing process itself.
It is an ongoing opportunity to discover, remember, reshape, or       【M10】______.
refine your ideas.
【M1】
