Most readers underestimate the amount of rewriting it usually takes to produce a spontaneous reading. This is a great disadvantage to the student writer, who sees only a finished product and never watches the craftsman who takes the necessary step back, studies the work carefully, returns to the task, steps back, returns, steps back, again and again. Anthony Burgess, one of the most productive writers in the English speaking countries, admits, "I might revise a page twenty times. " Ronald Dahl, the popular children’s writer, states, "By the time I’m nearing the end of a story, the first part will have been reread and changed and corrected at least 150 times... Good writing is essentially rewriting. I am positive of this. " Rewriting isn’t something that ought to be done. It is simply something that most writers find they have to do to discover what they have to say and how to say it. It is a condition of the writer’s life.
There are, however, a few writers who do little formal rewriting, primarily because they have the capacity and experience to create and review a large number of invisible drafts in their minds before they approach the page. And some writers slowly produce finished pages, performing all the tasks of revision, page by page. But it is still possible to see the sequence followed by most writers most of the time in rereading their own work.
Most writers can scan their draft first, reading as quickly as possible to catch the larger problems of subject and form, then move in closer and closer as they read and write, reread and rewrite.
What do most writers have in common?
选项
A、Spending a great deal of time plotting and drafting.
B、Performing all the tasks of revision at once.
C、Spending most of their time reading other’s works.
D、Rereading and rewriting their works.
答案
D
解析
细节事实题。根据题干关键词most writers定位原文尾段。原句中的reread and rewrite与选项D中的Rereading and rewriting对应。故答案为D。
