One morning recently, a young girl of about 9 or 10 years old, wearing a school uniform, stopped me in the street and anxiously asked me what time it was.
There was an even younger boy with her who kept repeating, "We've missed the bus! We've missed the bus!"
I looked at my watch and said, "It's ten to eight."
She looked confused and asked, "What time is that?"
I said, "It's ten minutes to 8 o'clock."
She then looked even more confused. "I don't understand what you mean."
"It's ten to eight."
She thought about it for a few seconds and then asked, "Is that like 7 something?"
I said, "Yes, it's 7.50."
She suddenly looked relieved and said to the young boy, "Come on. We haven't missed it yet," and off they both ran.
I was quite amused by it. She didn't know what 10 to 8 meant, but she did understand 7.50.
How were they teaching kids in school these days? Not very well if kids don't know what 10 minutes to 8 o'clock means.
But then I figured that we all simply understand things differently.
Sometimes just reading something that's written a different way can give you a completely new understanding of it.
And that's helpful when it comes to writing articles too because you can take just one article idea and write it several different ways. That makes it fast to write and saves a lot of time.
Not only that, but it helps people to really understand what you're trying to tell them.
So when you have an idea for an article, see how many different ways you can approach writing it.
For example, you can write it as a list article, a story or write about mistakes, such as, "The Biggest Fatal Mistakes That..." And all three articles are explaining the same thing, but simply in different ways.
This not only saves time coming up with ideas, but it can also improve your search engine rankings because when people search for information in different ways, one of your articles will keep showing up.
So when you're writing an article, think of different ways you can say the same thing.
