The best way lye in simplicity, the use of simple words make an impression in the mind of examiner. Tough english is at times tough to handle because sometime use of too many difficult words may create a problem. Simple and to the point english writing, is the preffered way.

If neccessary, one can use words which are unmatchable, though difficult. But extensive usage of tough vocabulary may harm, so try to keep and follow a simple way. The art is to use simple and lucid words while writing on a topic.


Regardz.

@Hinanazar

It is always a good idea to use simple english, the purpose is to get your point across with clarity, this can be done best by using simple language.

good vocabulary must be accompanied with evenly good complexity in sentence structure, otherwise it may appear as if candidate is trying too hard. Your vocubulary may appear out of place.

It is said that a word in its proper context cannot be substituted by even ten sentences and therefore an appropriate word is a better replacement for many a sentences. Your lack of vocabulary may compromise the flow or clarity of your writing.

However, caution must be exercised as its better to use a correct simple word then a misplaced complex word.

P.S: Complexity or simplicity of any word is defined by the frequency with which it appears in common texts and articles. Naturally, unique words would make your writing and essay unique provided they are used correctly. However, if you are doubtful about any word then remember, 'better safe than sorry'.

All the Best~

aoa other members have guided you aright,i would suggest the same.
what maters in CSS is accuracy more than anything else.adopt the approach in which you can best express yourself and feel easy.And if you can use flowery english and difficult words with accuracy well and good,otherwise don't trouble yourself rather master yourself in using simple and comprehensive expressions.
regards

Exclamation

in CSS exam u hv to show ur potential.
so i wud suggest u that u must produce a mixture of the english structure.
ur write up shud combine in itself the simple and compound english.going too much simple wud make an impression that itz ur level and u cannot go beyond it.in a paragraph of 10 sentences, if u write some two to three sentences of really superb mature english structure and style, it wl make an indelible impression upon the examiner.make ur reader feel that u can do anything in this field of english from low level to the highest one.i prefer this style.and this is solely my opinion.dissent is welcome.

I believe in the fact that we people have this inherent tendency of getting influenced by *english language specially the weired expression which sometimes indigestible for even the assesors of examination scripts . So agreed with Khokhar that mixture of both simple and fairly complex structure is suggested.

Regards

*I persoanally dislike this language as to me language is the vehicle of communication. If desi vehicles (Urdu, sindhi, Punjabi, Pushto and others) are available than idea of driving a foreign one is quite futile.

Beauty lies in the simplicity. There is a difference in infancy and simplicity. Simplicity doesn’t imply that your writing style should seem like infancy level rather it is a balance / midpoint of flowery and infancy levels. Midpoint demands a standard tone that comes through official language. You need not pretend to be a high fi English poet. If you know the proper usage of some complex words then there is no harm in utilization of these terms. Candidates bear loss while they cram new/difficult words but they do not know the proprieties of these words e.g. what is the nature, type and usage of that word. Dilemma with these candidates is that, they intend to load their papers with those crammed words not for the sake of relevance but for the sake of only usage because they have put their energy and sacrificed time to cram these words. In this way they lose their marks and fail to capitalize their efforts.


It is better to write in a style of 8th class student with proper usage of words and correct sentence structure then to write in bombastic style by misusing difficult words with wrong sentence structure and violating grammar rules.
In the first case of 8th class standard with correct sentence structure and correct grammar you won’t lose marks but you won’t gain extra marks either because it is not that much impressive piece. Whereas in the later case of bombastic words in flowery style with wrong sentence structure and improper usage you won’t gain extra marks rather you will lose marks failing below average range.


Ideal situation is when you have guts to decorate your paper with simple as well as complex structures and terms with correct usage and complete knowledge of the terms which you are going to use. Don’t show off like a dictionary, remain an impressive and reader-friendly writer. Avoid verbose style, for nobody likes it (i.e. your social circle, your parents, your teachers and CSS paper checkers).
Mayanaravi bahtar hy har cheez main.
