Summary：
Science and Technology: Writing is thinking on paper. Start with one narrow fact. Look for the human element like connect the reader with your own similar experience. Weave a scientific story around someone else. Convert unfamiliar facts into sights that readers are familiar with.
Business Writing: Writing in Your Job: Be yourself when you write. Keep the faith, clarity, simplicity, brevity and humanity, in your mind.
Sports: Do not obsessed by cliche and numbers. Make the connection between sports and social history. Look for values, which means people and places, time and transition, when you write about sport.
Writing About the Arts:Critics and Columnists: Critics should like—or, better still, love—the medium they are reviewing. Don’t give away too much of the plot. Use specific detail. Avoid the disproportionate ecstatic adjectives.
Humor: Humor is essential for the nonfiction writer. Control is vital to humor. Humor is built on surprise and intertwined with truths.
Reflection:
这周阅读内容讲了四种常见的题材，科普，商业，体育，艺术，最后讲了非小说写作的秘密武器---humor。每种题材都有其特定的技巧，但意料之中，所有的技巧并未脱离开篇所讲的humanity and warmth。
科普类文章要求说人话，共情，不熟悉的转化为熟悉的；商业写作要求清楚，简洁，写自己；体育类文章要求少用行话，联系体育与历史；艺术则要求选自己喜欢的作品，描述印象深刻的细节。无一例外均体现了文字应尽可能的追求人性化和温暖。
其实这周最大的收获应该是书友唐人悦的国际惯例推书了，很棒的书单，我还需要去读很多书。足够的输入才会有输出。
