Compared with other applied styles, practical writing has the following characteristics:
First of all, in form, practical writing has a fixed idiomatic style, a stable format, a standardized arrangement and a complete and rigorous structural form. For example, a letter generally consists of five parts: title, text, message, signature and date, and usually will not be changed at will.
Secondly, the content should be accurate and targeted. Or put forward problems that need to be solved, or introduce, summarize and explain the actual situation in the work. When you write, you must clearly state the time, place, basic situation, cause of the matter, treatment methods or measures. In addition, the time requirement is extremely strict and timely, because practical writing is written to solve problems.
Third, in terms of language, it is required to be accurate, plain, easy to understand and concise. Mr. Ye Shengtao said: "Official documents are not necessarily good articles, but they must be clearly written, very clear, well organized and fluent, so that people can understand exactly what you are saying." Don't use description and lyric in most practical writing, and avoid piling up adjectives; Fiction and exaggeration are not allowed, even if there is a description, its purpose must be to illustrate the problem. Practical writing often uses some special words and terms. In addition, practical writing also uses coordinate phrases, prepositional phrases and some classical Chinese sentences in language.
