VOA慢速英语:Tips for Better Writing

短语讲解：

1. And even if writing has come easily for you, at some point in your work as a student, that  eventually you’re going to hit a roadblock.

even if 即使，纵然
例句：Be proactive, even if it hurts.
要有前瞻性，即便这可能会带来伤害。

2. And so part of what I like to get folks thinking about is -- besides writing’s hard for everybody – is to really take a moment to think about their past writing experiences.

think about 考虑…; 捉摸…
例句：Maybe you should think about moving.
也许你该考虑搬家了。

3. And so they primarily focus on, and worry about, what the final product has to look like, like how many pages for a research essay?

look like 看起来与（某人或某物）相像[相似]
例句：This is starting to look like a revolution.
这开始看起来像是一场革命。

4. …like a timed essay exam, or a college application essay, or a research paper that is at the end of the semester, and it’s tied to the entire grade for the class.

at the end of 在…结尾，在…末端
例句：At the end of the wood, the path diverges to the left. 
在树林的尽头,小路向左拐去。
