I have recently received some enquiries from new clients asking me to help them with their writing skills in English. 最近，我收到一些客户的询问，请求我帮助他们解决英语写作技巧的问题。 This gave me an idea of starting a new series entitled English Writing Skills. In this series I will explore the different techniques that are required to produce good writing both in academia and business. The areas I plan to cover will vary from developing arguments through the use of linkers, punctuation, spelling and correct register (formal versus informal). 这让我有了开始一系列名为英语写作技巧的主意。在这个系列中，我将提出不同的写作技巧，能够满足学术和商业领域的写作需求。这个系列我计划通过连接词、标点符号、拼写和准确定位（正规和不正规比较）来覆盖各种不同的论据。 If there are any aspects of writing that you’d like me to write about, please do let me know and I will happily add it to the series. 如果你想要我说明关于写作的某些方面，请告诉我，我非常乐意将它加入到这个系列中。 In this first post of the series, I have decided to examine three punctuation symbols that are used in writing but are often confused and consequently ignored by many people – the dash (-), semicolon (;) and colon (:). 在这个系列的第一篇文章中，我决定剖析三个标点符号，它们是大家在写作中会经常使用的，但也是经常感到困惑和经常忽略的符号----破折号(-),分号 (;) 和冒号 (:) |
